Use

With the Process Integration Scenario Editor you can display and edit a Process Integration Scenario . You can visualize the Process Integration scenario as a Component View in an interactive graphical work area. In a Component View you can display the process flow of a Process Integration scenario and assign orther objects that define the message exchange.

You can Define Multiple Component Views for a Process Integration scenario.

Prerequisites

You have created a new Process Integration scenario or have opened an existing Process Integration scenario.

Note

If multiple Component Views are defined for a Process Integration scenario, you can select a Component View after opening the Process Integration scenario editor (see Defining Multiple Component Views for a Process Integration Scenario ).

Features

The name of the selected Component View is displayed in the Component View Name field in the work area of the Process Integration scenario editors. An interactive graphical interface is located in the lower screen area. You can use this to visualize the process flow of the Process Integration scernario and to be able to assign all the necessary objects (Component View). The structure of a Component View is represented graphically in the following graphic. The different context-sensitive areas and the most important functions of the context menu that can be called there are displayed here.

Figure 1: Component View and Context-Sensitive Areas

The objects of the Process Integration scenario are displayed in the following way:

  • Application Components are represented by colored, vertical columns. The colors of the columns are defined according to a color convention.

  • The column that represents an application components has a header that displays the role, the name of the product and its release (product version), and the enhanced name.

  • Actions are shown as white squares in an application component. The vertical line from the top to bottom corresponds to the logical process flow.

  • Sequences are displayed by vertical lines with an arrowhead at the follow-on action. The sequence determines the process flow order of the connected actions (see Connections ).

  • Synchronous Connections are displayed graphically by a horizontal line with two arrowheads. Both of the actions involved are at the same level. This shows that the actions that are connected in this way are synchronized with each other in time.

  • Asynchronous Connections are displayed by bent lines with an arrowhead at the follow-on action. Both of the actions involved here are not at the same horizontal level. The follow-on action must be below the source action. This shows that the actions that are connected in this way are disconnected from each other and are not synchronized with each other in time.

Functions for Assigning Objects and Defining Connections

You can call the functions listed below in the context menu to assign objects to the Process Integration scenario. Move the cursor to a specific area of the graphic to call each of the functions. The individual context-sensitive areas are shown in the graphic (see above). You can call the Editor to create/edit the object by double-clicking on an object in the graphic.
