Hi,

what is the BPM and what's function , defination of block step in bpm's

A BPM consists of an Integration Process which in turn contains a number of process steps similar to an SAP workflow. Integration process can be stateless or stateful. A stateful process retains its state until a specific event occurs. Unlike point-to-point communication where there is exactly one sender and one receiver, there can be a number of systems/stakeholders involved in a BPM communication and hence it is also called as Cross-Component BPM or ccBPM.

1. Receive Step
This step is used to receive messages and it can trigger messages. It is also used for open Sync/Asyn bridge

2. Send Step
This step is used for sending messages synchronously and asynchronously and also to send acknowledgements. It is used for closing the synch/Async bridge.

3. Transformation Step
This step is used for split, merge or convert messages

4. Receiver Determination
This step is used to get a list of receivers for subsequent send steps.

5. Block Step
Block step in BPM is basis for visibility of container elements (local variables). Multiple exception handlers are possible for Block. Deadlines can define for blocks.

6. Loop Step
Repeat steps while condition is true

7. Fork Step
This step is for defining independent processing branches.

8. Switch Step
This step is for define processing branches based on conditions

9. Control step
This step is used for Terminate process, trigger exception or trigger an alert.

10. Container Operation
This step is used to assign value to an element or append value to a multiline element

11. Wait Step
This step is used incorporate delay in process and is usually used to set start time for next step

12. Undefined Step
This step can be used for place holder or test purpose.

You can search in forums related to this question you will get lot of info regarding this..
