Websphere ESB as Notification Broker with SAP NW as a Consumer

[john_pawski]

I have a scenario where the customer wants WebSphere ESB to be the notification broker. The ESB will publish messages and SAP NW would subscribe to some of those message.

Can anyone tell me 1. How to set-up the SAP NW registration to certain events to WebSphere ESB 2. The best way to handle the mediation 3. The call to the SAP application

Is it possible to have the ESB aware of what messages SAP NW subscribes to and then let the ESB do the mediation and call into SAP app using WebServices or the WebSphere Adapter?

Thanks

Hi John,

Regarding SAP application and events: See transaction "SWF_BAM" (Business Activity Monitoring Administration).

There you have two options:

- link the event to a message proxy to publicate the event to SAP Process Integration (formerly XI). The message proxy should be defined within PI. You can also use conditions to filter events before they are published to PI.

- link the event to an alert category which is defined with the SAP central alert framework (transaction "ALRTCATDEF"). This means that if an event is occuring then an alert can be triggered. The as as event linkage to message proxy, you can use conditions to select certain events to trigger an alert.

So basically you have to perform three steps:

1) Define event signature in the Enterprise Services Repository (ESR) like for any other service

2) Generate outbound proxy for the defined event

3) cast local mySAP events to the outbound proxy call configuration

By doing so you get local events being published as global business events to SAP PI.
