Integration process communicating with guided procedure

Former Member

Hi everybody,

I read that it is possible to exchange messages between Integration Processes and SAP Business Workflow. Is it also possible to trigger and communicate to a guided procedure in a Integration process?

Thanks,

Mane

Integration processes can integrate with anything which uses one of the protocols supported by XI adapters (and you could even enhance this, by creating your own custom adapters).

E.g., to integrate with SAP Workflow, you could call a standard BAPI or a Z RFC that executes the desired workflow (or feed some step of a already in-process workflow).

For Guided Procedures, you could basically use anything that the UI frameworks within SAP portfolio support. For example, if you develop a WebDynpro-based GP, you could make the WebDynpro consume a Web Service that, for instance, triggers a BPM execution (you expose the 1st receiver step of the BPM, which should be a open sync/async bridge, as a web service through a sender soap adapter).

That's just one example.

OK, so it should also be possible to call a guided procedure from within an Integration Process where a user for example types in some information that are passed back to the "waiting" Integration Process, correct?

Thanks for the fast help!

Now you're talking about a different thing.

Integration Processes are designed for automatic systems integration, they're not optimized for user integration (even though ccBPM under PI 7.1 have a "user decision" step, it is basically to select between some options).

So, having an IP "hanging", waiting for a user to enter some data is not a very good design. For that, you use GP or Workflow. You can have a GP/Workflow which handle some data typed by the user and then trigger an IP.

Henrique.

Thanks but this doesn't seem to integrate guided procedure in a PI 7.1 Integration Process, does it?
