BPM activation problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to realize the following synchronous scenario using integration process:

HTTP sender adapter>XI>HTTP Receiver adapter.

(I have to send a http request to a third party system through XI and get the response back)

The process has

async receive->transform->sync send->async send. The async send sends the response back for the first receive. Async receive starts the process. When I send a message to the sender HTTP adapter, I get

<SAP:Error>

<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>

<SAP:Code>BPE_ADAPTER.SYSTEM_FAILURE_INTERNAL</SAP:Code>

<SAP:Stack>An internal error has occurred</SAP:Stack>

</SAP:Error>

As a result, I go into SXI_CACHE and verify the return code of the process. It is 99. When I try to activate,I get the following

S --- Translating step type 'RECEIVE' with ID '3' ---

S --- Translating step type 'TRANSFORM' with ID '5' ---

S --- Translating step type 'SEND' with ID '7' ---

W Send step: Property exception for 'CA3865B0F24111D9C217C1DD0A803644' is missing

E Send step: Fault message 'da54b205f24111d98622c1dd0a803644' is not defined

S --- Translating step type 'SEND' with ID '9' ---

I Language not set. Using system default E

I am at a loss here. How do I resolve 'Fault message is not defined error' for the sync send step? Is there anything wrong in my definition of the process?

Hi Suresh,

take a look at those two replies:

and:

they both describe your problem and give a few solutions

Hi Suresh,

Please activate your process in SXI_CACHE after logging with the XISUPER user password.And try with mapping being specified in the interface detremination step rather than in the bpm itself since mapping cannot happen between a sync and async interface.Afetr you make modifiactions ,reimport the bpm and do the agreements by deleting the earlier ones.

Best of luck.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses - they were really helpful. I see '0' returncode in sxi_cache now. I enclosed the synchronous send step in a block with an exception handler, deleted the BPM from the integration directory and reimported the BPM into the directory and that would do it.

As I test my BPM now, I am able to send the input XML to the BPM, the BPM performs the mapping, makes the synchronous call to an external application server using http adapter and gets the response back. But I get a 'Pipeline timeout' error once the message reaches the second send step that closes the S/A bridge.

As you can see, the process is in 'in Process' status and the last send step just times out. What am I missing? Any insights will help.

Hi suersh<b>

The process has

async receive->transform->sync send->async send.</b>

As far as i know a mapping cannot occur between an async step and a sync step.So please have a look at it.

Hi,

Thanks for all your replies. Finally I got the all-synchronous BPM working. All that I had to do was to add another transform step between the sync send and async send.

Priyanka, mapping works between async step and sync step.

After I got the scenario successfully working, I noticed that the BPM execution was very slow. The same scenario which took 1-2 seconds without using BPM now takes 10 seconds with BPM.

Is there any way I could optimize the performance of BPM?

Hi suresh,

sorry for misleading you.

anyways thanks for the info.

Hi Suresh

You just delete the Business Process inside the Integration Directory and then recreate and activate it.

Then go into SXI_CACHE and chk.

Hope it helps
