Defining an Integration Process as a Service 

Use

You can select an integration process from the Integration Repository and define it as a service in Integration Directory.

This tool is also referred to as the Integration Process Wizard.

Depending on your specific usage case, define the integration process either as a service without party or as a service of a party. Services without a party are typically used when configuring company-internal processes. Parties (with assigned services) are typically used when configuring cross-company processes.

The integration process is created as a service in the Integration Directory. The position of the cursor when the integration process wizard is called determines where the name of the service is entered in the navigation tree (step 2):

○       Service without Party Integration process service is not assigned to a party and is inserted in the navigation area of the Integration Directory in the subtree Service Without Party  ® Integration Process.

○       Service of a Party: Integration process service is inserted in the navigation area of the Integration Directory in subtree Party ® <Name of Party  ® Service ® Integration Process.

You can now use the integration process as a sender or receiver of messages, or both.
