SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.31 Processes Orchestration

Reduce TCO with single System ID installation.

One Integrated Stack to model and run all kinds of processes.

Process patterns to jumpstart the design and implementation of customer‟s business processes.

Common deployment

AEX and BPM/BRM on one single System

Reliable connectivity between messaging and process layer

Calling PI mappings (Java, XSLT) from within a BPM process

Leverage SAP NetWeaver BRM for business rules

Model-driven development

Based on Business Process Model & Notation (BPMN) standard

Business process modeling

Graphical configuration using Integration Flows

Enterprise Integration Patterns

Templates & best practices

Sizing guidelines


Sample Scenario for Master Data Governance* Implemented on the Integrated Stack

Master Data Quality Process (MDQP)

Master data maintenance

– Requester creates new customer record

– Data steward enriches master data by

entering credit limit

Master data creation governance

– Data quality manager needs to

approve/reject/send back for rework

– Requester is notified upon creation

Integration-Centric Process (ICP)

Message orchestration

– Distributes master data record to various

systems

– Collects and aggregates confirmations
