Using Configuration Scenarios
You can use a configuration scenario to group configuration objects that are connected together. In addition you can display the objects of a configuration scenario and their relationship to each other in a graphic overview.
You typically combine the configuration of a complete process that is mapped as a process model (for example, as a process integration scenario or a process component interaction model) in the ES Repository together in a configuration scenario.
With configuration scenarios you can structure objects in the Integration Directory more easily. In addition, the use of configuration scenarios is recommended if you want to get an overview of the configuration of a process.f
You can transport a configuration scenario together with all the configuration objects assigned to it. This enables you, for example, to transport all the configuration objects belonging to one configuration scenario from a test environment to a productive environment.
Creating Configuration Scenarios from the Model Configurator
If you use a model from the ES Repository as a configuration template, you can have a configuration scenario created from the model configurator. In this case, configuration objects are grouped with the model configurator in the configuration scenario.
If a configuration scenario refers to a model from the ES Repository, the scenario name is displayed under Referenced Model (tab page ES Repository Model ).
Using the Model Configurator pushbutton you can call the model configurator for the referenced model from the configuration scenario.

Creating Configuration Scenarios Manually and Assigning Objects Separately
You can create a configuration scenario manually and assign the individual configuration objects.
-
To create a configuration scenario manually, choose the object type Configuration Scenario in the create dialog box of the Integration Directory (menu function New ) and specify a name for the configuration scenario.
-
Select tab page Objects.
-
Choose Add Object to Scenario .
You select the object type from the dropdown list box. This calls input help for this object type.
To remove objects from the scenario, select the relevant line in the table and choose Remove Object(s) from Scenario.
Displaying the Configuration Overview
In the Configuration Overview tab you can display the objects of a configuration scenario and their relationship to each other in a graphic overview or as a table.
For more information, see: Configuration Overview
Transporting Configuration Scenarios
You can transport a configuration scenario together with all the configuration objects assigned to it. This enables you, for example, to transport all the configuration objects belonging to one configuration scenario from a test environment to a productive environment.
When you delete a configuration scenario, all the configuration objects grouped within it are not deleted as well. You must delete these separately, if applicable.
