BPM in SAP NetWeaver: do you really like and use it?

[Former Member]

Dear friends,

BPM (Business Process Management) is the metodology for reorganization and

optimization of business processes.

And BPMS (Business Process Management System) is software for BPM.

BPMS must support full life cycle of business process: design, modelling,

execution and monitoring.

As I understand ccBPM is intended only for automated processes.

Do you really use integration processes ccBPM?

How often do you apply ccBPM for business processes?

Please describe real examples of ccBPM applying.

Do you apply the standard content - integration processes in IR and patterns or do you implement your own integration processes?

How do you implement the business processes required human task and automated

system task, that is combination of workflow and ccBPM?

Thanks for your response in advance,

Natalia.

just like to add here,BPM is not something which you don't wanna use at all,its a very strong functionality provided by SAP XI and must be used based upon the requirement,BPM's performance has improved a lot and if designed properly it wont affect your scenario drastically,ofcourse you will have some impact.

few things to keep in mind is that if payload is really huge in that case BPM can become a bottleneck point,try to avoid mapping in BPM there are other performance tunings steps too

Thanx

Depends on the requirment..but most of the time we have to avoind to use BPM in interface as much as possible because of performence issue.

Completely based on the requirement..like Multimapping, throwing alerts based on receiver response etc.

> Please describe real examples of ccBPM applying.

Systems A send the messge to Systems B and A get the response. Now if the response is ok then I will send the same message to System C else I will tell admin Error occured. This is just the only one case..ther can be many.

You can look on the patters in the IR SAP BASIS software component

Which standard is used for visual description of process in ccBPM?
