How to increase the steps in simulation using SAP ...

HI all,

we are facing challenge in simulate and validate our complex cpi flows where we have more then 10 steps in CPI flow

due to this limitation we are not able to run full simulation and I did'nt find any reference to increase it.

can anyone suggest how to solve this.

Thanks in advance

Amit

Hello AR,

Instead of trying to simulate the entire flow at once, break it down into smaller, more manageable sub-flows. Test and validate each sub-flow individually to ensure that it functions correctly. Once you've verified the sub-flows, you can then integrate them into the larger flow.
Implement unit tests for individual components within your CPI flow. This way, you can validate the functionality of each step in isolation. Unit tests can be more fine-grained and help identify specific issues within a step.
If your flow relies on external systems or services that are not available for simulation, consider using stubs or mocks. These are simplified simulated versions of the external systems or services that allow you to test the flow without requiring the actual external dependencies.
you can refer to the below link for Mockup or stubbing:

Leverage extensive logging and tracing within your CPI flow. This can help you track the flow of data and identify issues at each step. Analyzing logs can provide valuable insights into what's happening within the flow.
Pay special attention to error handling within your CPI flow. Simulate error scenarios and ensure that your flow behaves as expected when exceptions occur.
If your flow includes steps that can run concurrently, simulate those steps separately and in parallel. This approach can help you validate multiple steps simultaneously, reducing the need for a single comprehensive simulation.

Thanks,

Lakshmi.
