BPE is developed on the same lines as a workflow engine, but both are not exactly same. The underlying logic of workflow is similar in both.

It means that Business Process Engine needs external Workflow Engine OR else Business Process Engine is a new name for Workflow Engine ?

Hi Chandra,

No need of external workflow engine,BPE engine will act as a work flow engine,any way it is available in ABAP Stack.

ccBPM concept is combination of BPM and Work flow concept, to run ccBPM scenarios we required BPE engine,it is come up with ABAP Stack,i think you know about this.

But we are using some features from SAP work .

BPE in itself is self sufficient and need no external engine.

Business Process Engine is a new name for Workflow Engine ?

No. There is no need to find out the link between the two. The only similarity is the underlying logic and implementation. Technically they could be same. Functionally ccBPM is used only with PI.
