Targets of Modeling

A Business Scenario completely models the exchange of messages for a collaborative process and provides an overview of the process flow. The advantages of defining Business Scenarios in the Integration Builder designer are as follows:

·        The Business Scenario provides you with an overview of the process and the process flow.

·        The Business Scenario groups together all objects that are involved in this process: Interfaces and mappings from the Integration Repository and products from the System Landscape Directory.

You can access all of these objects from the Business Scenario.

·        The Business Scenario contains all design time information about the process that are required for its configuration. As a result, configuration is simplified.

Use the above as your starting point when defining and modeling Business Scenarios.

The sections below contain detailed information about what you must note when modeling the individual components of the Business Scenarios:
