ProcedureCreate Interfaces for Business Process Monitoring

 

You can create interfaces for the processes in a solution, centrally, and reuse them in various processes in the solution. You then only have to assign the required information, e.g. logical components used, once.

You need interfaces for business process and interface monitoring.

Prerequisites

  • You have imported ST-SER 700_2008_1 or higher into your Solution Manager system. This function is only then visible in your system.

  • You have created a solution.

  • You are in the Solution Directory in your solution.

Procedure

  1. Create interface scenarios:

    Note Note

    Interface scenarios are groups of related interfaces.

    End of the note.

    1. Choose Interface Scenarios in the structure tree.

    2. Choose the Structure tab. See Creating and Editing Project/Solution Structure for further information.

    3. To create an interface scenario:

      • Create new interface scenario in the field Interfaces <element>

      • Copy exising interface scenarios into your solution:

        1. Choose a solution from the Source value help.

        2. Choose an interface scenario from the value help for the field Interfaces <element> .

    4. You can assign documents to the structure elements in the Documentation tab. For more information, see Processing Documents.

  2. Create interfaces:

    1. Choose your interface scenario in the structure tree.

    2. Create interfaces in the field Interfaces <element> in the Structure tab, or copy existing interfaces.

    3. Assign the following data to the interface, from the value help:

      Field

      Meaning

      Sending logical component

      Logical Component which sends a query to the receiving logical component, via the interface

      Receiving logical component

      Logical Component which receives a query from the sending logical component, via the interface

      Technology

      Interface technologie, e.g. ALE

      Type

      Interface type, e.g. synchronous.

    4. Save your changes.

    5. You can assign attributes, e.g. person responsible or routing information, to the interfaces with Attributes in the Structure tab.

    6. You can assign documents to the structure elements in the Documentation tab. For more information, see Processing Documents.

  3. You can create interface steps, to describe in detail what happens in the sending and receiving component.

    1. Choose an interface in the structure tree.

    2. Create interface steps in the field Interfaces <element> in the Structure tab, or copy existing interface steps.

    3. You can assign documents to the structure elements in the Documentation tab. For more information, see Processing Documents.

Result

You can assign interfaces to business processes, in the Graphic tab.
