SAP LVM Integration with SAP BPA
0 likes229 views
This document provides instructions for integrating SAP Business Process Automation (BPA) with SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM). It involves creating a custom operation in LVM that allows controlling BPA queues. This is done by creating a provider implementation and custom operation in LVM along with a process definition and web service in BPA. It also requires registering a script with the host agent to connect the LVM and BPA configurations. The custom operation then allows holding or releasing BPA queues from the LVM interface.

SAP LVM Integration with SAP BPA
- 1. SAP LVM Integration with SAP BPA
- 2. • This is the fourth in a series of presentations dedicated to SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) • This document provides a quick overview of how to integrate an SAP Business Process Automation (BPA) web service in SAP LVM • The document is aimed at system administrators responsible for configuring SAP LVM and are familiar with LVM Custom Operations (see SlideShare presentation) • The document assumes the reader has a knowledge of SAP BPA and associated terminology Introduction
- 3. Overview • This custom operation controls BPA queues from LVM • The custom operation for LVM is based on creation of the following LVM elements: – Provider Implementation – Custom Operation • The custom operation for LVM is based on creation of the following BPA objects: – Process Definition – Web Service • The custom operation also requires a script registered with the Host Agent
- 4. Process Definition in BPA • Define the RedwoodScript process definition in BPA – e.g. Custom_Set_Queue
- 5. Process Definition in BPA • Give the process definition two output string parameters e.g. QN and QA to represent the queue name and action to be carried out on the queue i.e. HOLD (hold, closed) or RELE (release, open)
- 6. Web Service Definition in BPA • Publish the process definition as a web service to be referenced in the host agent script later e.g. WS_Custom_Set_Queue
- 7. Configuration in LVM • Provider implementation for the BPA queue custom operations • SetupèExtensibilityèProvider Implementation Definitions
- 8. Configuration in LVM • Custom operation “Hold” using the defined provider implementation with the Operation parameter set to ”HOLD” • SetupèExtensibilityèCustom Operation
- 9. Configuration in LVM • Custom operation “Release” using the defined provider implementation with the Operation parameter set to ”RELE” • SetupèExtensibilityèCustom Operation
- 10. Configuration in LVM • Characteristic ”Job Managed by BPA”used to indicate to LVM if the system is managed by BPA – controls if the operation button is shown for the instance • ConfigurationèCharacteristics
- 11. Operation in LVM • Once the configuration is complete, the custom operation group “BPA Queue Operation” and ”Custom Operation” selections will be visible for the chosen instance(s)
- 12. Host Agent Registered Script • The configuration in LVM and BPA are hooked together with the host agent registered script • The $[PARAM-‐OPERATION] can be seen being passed as the first parameter to the Korn script, indicating the custom operation being requested by LVM • The queue name to be manipulated is automatically calculated by the script based on the SID File Content ClusterAdm.conf Name: LVM_CustomOperation_BPAQueueAdm Command: /sap/Scripts/SetQueue.ksh $[PARAM-OPERATION] Workdir: $[DIR_HOME:#sapparam] Username: root ResultConverter: flat
