Process Models
The ES Repository supports process modeling with a variety of different model types. These are the model types that are most important for outlining the integration-relevant aspects of collaborative processes:
|
Model Type |
Description |
|
Integration scenario model |
This model type provides a high-level view on the integration. More information: Integration Scenario Model |
|
Process components interaction model |
This model type allows you to specify the interaction between two process components in detail. Based on this model type, you can start specifying interface objects, mappings and channel templates. More information: Process Components Interaction Model |
|
Process integration scenario |
“Classic” process integration scenarios provide an alternative modeling approach. For each process integration scenario you can define different Component Views for to outline different variants. Note
Note that only this model type is supported when setting up scenarios using the Advanced Adapter Engine Extended. You also need to use this model type when designing scenarios using cross-component Business Process Management. More information: Process Integration Scenarios |
Integration scenario models and process components interaction models on the one hand and process integration scenarios on the other hand represent two different modeling approaches. From a tool perspective, these two modeling approaches are not integrated with each other. Therefore, you need to decide for one approach at the beginning of each integration project.
