Best practice on creating composite services

[Former Member]

Good afternoon, experts.

I was wondering what would be the recommended way to create a new enterprise service that is basically the orchestration of other enterprise services, for example, already provided by business suite. I guess I can model the orchestration and even the transformation rules through Netweaver Process Modeler and then export it as a service. I think it is also possible to model it as a Visual Composer application and then export it as a web service. Finally I believe there must be a way to do it using purely PI.

So, what is the recommended way? Pros and cons?

Regards.

I took a look at the articles, but they are too generic for my question. I was expecting something more direct from SAP.

So far I have the impression that the answer is "use CAF".

Thanks anyway

Hi Marcelo,

I guess the best option is the following:

1. Model the new Service Interface in ESR

2. Import the new Service Interface in CAF

3. Import the existing Service Interfaces in CAF

4. Map fields and implement additional logic (if necessary)

Some useful information:
