when to design bpm

[Former Member]

which situation?

u must put a transformation step within the bpm.

instead of putting a interface mapping being covered by a transformation step outside of bpm.

Hi Joy,

In case of n:1 mapping you will need to define the mapping inside the BPM. Also lets take a situation when you need to use Message split inside the BPM, you might need it.

Hey,

When you have a mapping between two internal steps of bpm then you need to go for a transformation step.

eg. if there is mapping between a receive and a send step.

if there is a mapping between the sender system and the receive step no need for transformation. Similarly if there is a mapping between send step and the receiving system than also there is no need for mapping.

HI

We use BPM In the following cases

BPM is used for Stateful communications,suppose u have to delay message processing,or wait for other messages to arrive and then send them all together,in that case use BPM.

It is used to control complex document choreography - e.g. when you need to wait for two different types of messages to arrive and then send out another message of a 3rd type, or when you need to wait for a series of messages to arrive, and combine them into a single message to be sent out.

When to use BPM:

1.Control the messages in XI

2.Collect the messages

3.split the messages

4.To multicast a message

5.Send an alert.

6 Persist the data

7. Control of the process based on Data - Decision Making

8. When process integration has to happen with more than one sender/receiver

9. To embed one's Business Logic

Please refer the links below:

Check this discussed thread on "Why do we need BPM":

must read blog to understand BPM Guidelines,

hi

you can create custom exceptions and handle it if the mapping fails within a BPM.
