Mapping inside/outside BPM

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to know the flow when mapping is inside BPM and when it is outside BPM.

And also about the configuration steps in either cases.

Thanks,

Hi,

When you incorporate a mapping program within one BPM(transformation step) while executing the BPM in Business process Engine of IS the transformation step refers to the mapping program from the cache and performs that in IE pipeline(the control then goes to the central pipeline and again comes back to the BPE) and again the control comes back to BPE.

So its a BPE to IE (vice versa)process.

In case of general mapping the mapping step happens to be in IE as one of the several pipeline steps (Requet mapping).

Thanks Abhishek.. It would be great if the flow can be explained with the help of some Service interfaces with BPM and Mapping in between..

Hi,

Lets say you have a requirement like this...

In a BPM you first check for a material (using a mapping program .....using a RFC look up to that Application system) if the material exists the next interface that creates a PO(IDOC) for that one else the MATMAS interface creates the material through an IDOC to that App system.

cheers,

Abhishek.

Hi,

Try to avoid using transformation step in BPM, executing mapping program in business process engine not advisable.

Try to execute the mapping program in Interface determination level, in this case mapping will execute in Integration engine.

Flow :

Sender Communication Channel pick ups the message and send it to Adapter engine ,from there internal XI adapter will take the message from AE and send it IE,when you use BPM ,BPE engine come in to picture to execute/process the message, if you use Transformation step , then mapping program will be executed in Business Process Engine.

After execution of mapping program in BPEN then message will be send to IE, from there to AE.

Outbound service Interface---sender abstract interface-receiver abstract interfaceinbound interface (some times).

AE-IEBPEIEAE
