Agenda
SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration Whats new?
Multiple interfaces for starting a process
Introducing the exercise: Interfaces, Mappings, Integration Flows

Explaining Conditional Start behavior
Introducing the exercise: Integration-centric process
Running the exercise process
SAP NetWeaver Process

Orchestration Whats new?
Recap: SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration
BPM, BRM and PI on a single Java instance
Java-only installation option for BPM, BRM and PI

Reliable message exchange using the XI 3.0 protocol
Call PI mappings from BPM process
Use business rules in PI
End-to-end monitoring of processes and related
messages
Handling of large messages
Advantages
Reduced development and operations cost
Improved performance

Support of enterprise integration patterns
Providing best practices and guidelines on how to
implement common integration and business requirements on
Enterprise integration patterns

Do help in solving recurring problems faced in the
integration of enterprise applications
See Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building,
and Deploying Messaging Solutions
by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf
Enterprise integration patterns on Process

Orchestration
Blog on SCN describing how to best implement enterprise
integration patterns on PI/PO
See SAP Process Orchestration patterns on SCN

Integrated monitoring between PI and BPM
Improve TCO by monitoring
scenarios across PI and BPM
Context sensitive navigation

For a given BPM process instance,
show details of all associated PI
messages
For a given PI message, show
details of the associated BPM
process
Prerequisites
Mark the communication component
as integration-centric process
PI and BPM have to communicate
with each other using XI 3.0
message protocol

Referenced channels in Integration Flows
Reduce TCO via re-use of channels
Inline Channels versus Referenced Channels

Inline Channels are part of Integration Flows
Referenced Channels are independent objects with
own lifecycle
Referenced Channel
Lifecycle
Create, edit, and delete channels within SAP Process
Integration Designer perspective
On activation, channels get deployed on runtime
Assign/unassign channels to Integration Flows
Activation of incompatible changes is prevented,
requires undeployment of Integration Flow
Inline Channel

Migration of directory content
Migrate classical PI scenarios to
integrated configuration objects (ICOs)
Using the new directory content migration tool, you

could considerably reduce the migration effort
Supporting both Java-only and dual-stack

target systems
Source PI system as of XI 3.0 and newer
Tool runs in target system
Automatic directory objects matching and
migration checks
Renaming of objects via renaming rules
Mass change support for communication
channels
Check out TechEd hands-on session

POP262: Migration Tool from Double
Stack to Single Stack Integration
Scenarios

Integration visibility
Central, end-to-end integration visibility into the correct closure of business transactions.
Measure business SLAs, such as end-to-end processing times, error ratio, volumes, etc.
Integration discovery
Discover integration flows in your landscape including processing
within SAP NetWeaver PI, SAP backend system layers such as
ALE, tRFC
Message Flow Monitor in SAP Solution Manager*

Targeting IT & application support and business power users
Monitoring along integration layers of message exchange
Show relevant payload data, e.g., EDI number, order number, etc.
Provide information of most common B2B related issues, e.g.,
flows with highest error ratio, overdue acknowledgements, etc.
Integration with SAP Operational Process Intelligence**

Visibility and decision-support tool targeting line of business users,
providing real-time information of operations and processes
including message exchange
Events for message sent / received / in error / cancelled
* planned with SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP10

** planned with SAP Operational Process Intelligence 1.1

Multiple interfaces for

starting a process
Challenges
Several different interfaces
Order of appearance not predictable
Mixture of cardinalities possible
(e.g. 1..1 or 1..n)
Receiver expects aggregated message
comprising all interfaces
12

Standard BPMN options
Solution 1
Using several start events
Assumption: Order Header contains
number of expected items
13

Solution 1
Using several start events
14

Solution 2
Using instantiating parallel
event-based gateway
15

Solution using Super Interface
Incoming Messages
1..1
1..1
1..n
0..1
0..1
0..1
Outgoing Message
Super Interface combining all incoming messages

Solution using Super Interface and Conditional Start
