Assigning Communication Components

Use

You perform the following steps to assign communication components to the application components of the process integration scenario.

Which communication components you can assign depends on how you defined the application component when you designed the process integration scenario.

Application Component

Assignable Communication Components

Internal Application Components

One or more business system components.

One or more business components (only if the application component has at least one connection to a B2B component; in this case, the assignments between the business components and business system components must match).

B2B component

One or more business components.

If an internal application component has at least one connection to a B2B component, use business components as neutral representatives for communication with the external party. With the assignments between business components and business system cimponents you specify which business systems are mapped from you internal system landscape to which (externally visible) business parties: The Header Mapping is then formed correspondingly in the generated integrated configuration.
