Fetching Data From One Iflow Via Process Direct And Invoking A Loop Process Call With Exception Handling

WRITTEN BY

INTEGRATION

Introduction

Hello

This is my first blog Post where I have been tried to describe a real time scenario of CPI where we have to call the iflow followed by another iflow and spilt the data and fetch it with looping process call. The exception messages will be stored in the data store (with global variable) which will send the receiver the mail also. The receiver also wants to maintain the log id which will be maintained in the Local integration process.
The key to the solution is The Process Direct adapter which can be used to establish communication between integration processes within the same tenant. A Looping Process Call in Cloud Integration that invokes a Local Integration Process iteratively till the conditions are met.

Pre-Requisite:

1. 1. Access to SAP BTP Cockpit

– Scenario
In this blog post, we will fetch the data from odata via Request Reply then send the data via Process Direct to another iflow. In the second iflow branch the data using Parallel Multicast then send one phase data to the Loop Process call where it is splitted and the Logger script has been added for checking the log ID after deployment.

The exception sub process has been added to store the data in the data store and the content modifier send the message to the receiver.
For simple example, I just create simple integration (Fig 1 & 2) just include timer and one Mail Receiver Adapter.

Use any free Odata Service here I have used Northwind and select the entities as per your requirement.

Looping Process Call

A Looping Process Call in CPI  invokes a Local Integration Process iteratively till the conditions are met. The loop has to be executed till the maximum number if iteration.

Local Integration Process
In Transaction Handling select the required calling Process.
General Splitter (Fig 5)
You can choose the Root node accordingly, here I have been select the Product.

Logger Script

Logger Script is here to check the Logs which we can check from the monitoring page.

import com.sap.gateway.ip.core.customdev.util.Message;
import java.util.HashMap;

def Message processData(Message message)
{
def body = message.getBody(java.lang.String) as String;
def messageLog = messageLogFactory.getMessageLog(message);
if(messageLog != null)
{
messageLog.setStringProperty("log1","Printing Payload As Attachment")
messageLog.addAttachmentAsString("log1",body,"text/plain");
}
return message;
}

Exception Sub Process (Fig 6)

If the iflow has some error then it will go to data store through exception sub process and we can check there by fetching the data from a different iflow as we have set the Global Variable in Write variable option.
