Hi Jeff,

The Steps used in the BPM :

1) Receive Step: (It is the First Step Used to trigger the Process and also receives the messages)

2) Send Step: ( It is used to send the messages from Integration Process to the respective receiver systems)

3) Transformation Step: Used mainly for

a. N:1 mapping ( N no of Interfaces can be merged into single Interface)

b. 1:N mapping ( 1 Interface can be split into N no of Interfaces)

c. 1:1 mapping ( Message in one Interface can be assigned to different Interface)

4) Receiver Determination Step: used to maintain the Receiver List to determine the Receiver

5) Container Operation Step: used to maintain the Message list (No of Messages will be added)

7) Switch Step : It Triggers the Process Depending upon the Condition

8) Block Step : Used for

9) Fork Step : Used to Insert the branches

Control step can do the following :

1)Can stop your BPM (If at all if you get any error ,it will not allow to continue the process)----

---

use option "CANCEL PROCESS"

2)Can throw the exception -

---

Use option "raise an exception"

3)Can Send Alert Messages -

---

"raise alerts" (You have to configure alert categori in ALRTCATDEF tcode and give that name here)

And also Check the above link for remaining steps....
