Assigning Communication Components 
Use this function to assign communication components to the process components of the model.
For connections where an internal process component communicates with an external one (usually in B2B scenarios), you can also specify communication parties as external representatives for internal business systems.
Which types of communication components you can assign depends on the process component and the type of connection with another process component.
Process Component Type |
Assignable Communication Components |
|---|---|
Internal process component (that communicates with an internal process component) |
|
Internal process component (that communicates with an external process component) |
Only once you have selected a business system component for the internal process component is the field for the communication party ready for input. The communication party reacts as external representative of the business system. |
External process component |
Note
If an internal process component has at least one connection to an external process component, use communication parties as neutral representatives for communication with the external party. With the assignments between communication parties and business system you specify which business systems are mapped from you internal system landscape to which (externally visible) communication parties: The Header Mapping is then formed correspondingly in the generated receiver agreement.
Procedure
In the interactive model graphic click on the process component in the header area that you want to assign communication components to.
Tab pages appear below the model graphic in which you can make the assignments. The navigation arrows ( and ) enable you to navigate between the process components of the model.
Depending on the type of process component, you can perform the following tasks.
Once you have made the necessary entries, confirm them by choosing Assign.
Make Assignments for Internal Process Components
Specify the business system components that you want to assign to the process component (under Business System Components).
To select the business systems, use input help (in the Component column).
If you want to create a new communication component for a business system, position the cursor on the arrow symbol on the input help button and select Create Business System Component.
The following steps are required if the process component has at least one connection to an external process component.
Specify the business system components that you want to assign to the process component under Business System Components.
Assign a communication party to each business system component under Business Components for External Communication.
Make Assignments for External Process Components
Specify a communication party. Use the input help.
