At configuration time, the integration process designed in the ES Repository acts as sender and receiver of messages and is, therefore, treated as a separate communication component. From a configuration time point of view, the integration process is nothing more than a “black box” .
You configure an integration process in the Integration Directory.
To enable an integration process to be addressed as a sender or receiver of messages, you need to define a communication component of type integration process (or integration process component). You basically create a communication component, specify a name, and assign the integration process from the ES Repository. If you have defined Configurable Parameters , you can specify them further here.
You do not assign a communication channel to an integration process component.

The subsequent configuration of the message exchange including the integration process component is then performed using basically the same procedure as already described under Developing and Configuring Integration Scenarios .
