Hi,

It is an implementation methodology for the management of business process that interacts with people and systems both within and across the organization.

You have to avoid using BPM if possible because it consumes lot of resources. But its usage is necessary in some situations like bridging between synchronous asynchronous scenario, complex mapping and alert triggering etc.

Plz refer to the following links.

Hi,

SAP XI transafers data using Messages. Each message is independent and is stateless.

But if you want to make your messages stateful by Collecting the messages and posting them, or time dependent messages, splitting messages. In these cases your messages are dependent on each other and you have to make them stateful.

For this you need to use BPM.

More about BPM on:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3c/831620a4f1044dba38b370f77835cc/content.htm

Yes, BPM does reduce perfomance. It depends on your Business Process whether you need BPM or not.

Ramu,

Simple message processing on the Integration Server is stateless. This means that the Integration Server does not know of any connections between various messages.

BPM, on the other hand, describe related processes, which can use the knowledge about messages that have already been processed to further control the process.

To put it in simple terms, when you need a relation between multiple messages or you need stateful message processing, you need to go for a BPM.

Avoid a BPM as much as possible as it has a perfromance bottleneck, but , if you need Stateful proccessing that has no other means , go for a BPM.
