BPM Introduction

Business Process Management deals with cross component BPM. This includes SAP workflow in SAP backend and processing of message on Integration Server.

Cross Component Business Process Management provides SAP NetWeaver Process Integration with functions for stateful message processing, that is, the status of an integration process is persisted on the Integration Server. 

This means that an integration process can, for example, wait infinitely until further messages are received or until a particular deadline is reached. 

Moreover, it is possible to process messages further within an integration process.

There are lot of other scenarios when we need to use BPM. i.e. Splitting of messages, Merging of messages, Multicast a message to various systems, Send an Alert, Make the asynchronous call into the synchronous,etc.

SAP PI BPM is used for cross-system integration and managing a higher level business process between disparate systems. 

A typical scenario is a Sales Order acceptance process where several systems would need to be consulted before accepting the order such as a inventory check, global ATP check etc.

We use SOAP adapter to connect to BPM.

The Service Interface pattern is always STATELESS XI 3.0 COMPATIBLE
