It takes long time to build a BPM process. Why? Can it be optimized?

Good day. We've created a process. It contains: about 30 steps (one main process and two sub-processes), human and automated activities, 4 lanes. The process lies in DTR, SC and DC are on a server.

When we are building the project it takes half an hour to complete it! Is it normal? How can we diagnose the problem?

System - Core2Duo 2GHz, 2.5 GB Mem.

Hi all,

There have been several improvements regarding the Process Composer DC build time. The most prominent one happened in NWDS 7.11 SP02. So updating the installation might help here.

Hi Dominik,

thanks for the info. I'm using SP03 already, and I ran the build overnight, without any success

Is it possible, that my process has some specifica (cycles, ...) that cause this problem?! I analysed the process and it looks fine, no errors or warning are shown up (except un-initialized input-mapping warnings).

Best regards

Mirco

Hi Mirco,

in this case it would be interesting to analyze it. Since you already have SP3 I conclude you are a customer. Could you open a message for the issue and in the best case attach the SC or a link to it?

Then I can have a look what is causing the issue in this case.

Thanks and best regards, Dominik

Hi Dominik,

my company is SAP SEP partner, I already created an OSS note abot this issue:

NWDS - Building BPM DC runs into infinite loop ( 844879 / 2009 )

Would be great to find a solution for the problem as I cannot deploy a finished process-implementation due to this (silly) problem

Thanx in advance

Mirco

Hi Mirco,

I took the message on my name and will investigate the issue. If you could provide the SC this would be of great help regarding the analysis.

Best regards, Dominik
