Process Composer
|
Feature |
Type of Change |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Two Perspectives Approach |
New |
The process composer consists of two perspectives which offer different views over one and the same process model, and enable different process modeling roles such as business analyst and process developer roles. For more information, see Two Perspectives Approach . The Palette in the two perspectives includes abstract flow objects. For more information, see |
|
Unified UI |
New |
You have the option of selecting Web Dynpro or Visual Composer UI technology when you assign a UI component to a task. For more information, see Assigning a User Interface to a Task . |
|
Adobe Offline Forms Usage |
New |
You have the option of assigning an offline form as a UI component to a task in the process composer. When the task is triggered, the offline form is sent by e-mail to all potential owners of the task. For more information, see Designing, Storing, and Assigning an Offline Form to a Task . |
|
RFC Consumption |
New |
You can import Remote Function Call (RFC) modules from the ABAP back-end system. For more information, see Importing RFC Modules . |
|
Event Triggers |
New |
Creating event triggers enables you to model events more easily and quickly. You make the necessary settings once and then assign the trigger to more than one event in your process. The event trigger represents the endpoint of the process. For more information, see Creating Reusable Event Triggers . |
|
Task Sharing |
New |
You can activate this option in the task editor to allow the actual owner of a task to invite other contributors to work on the task instance. For more information, see Defining Potential Owners . |
|
Embedded Sub-Process |
New |
You can model embedded sub-processes. An embedded sub-process is dependent on the parent process and cannot be executed standalone like the referenced sub-process. The embedded sub-process has a local process context of data objects, which is not visible to the parent and root processes. For more information, see Modeling Embedded Sub-Processes . |
|
Modeled Notifications |
New |
A notification is a specific type of activity that you model as a separate step in your process model. When the process flow reaches this step, an e-mail is sent to notify selected recipients that a specific event has happened or some activity has been completed in previous process steps. For more information, see Modeling Notifications . |
|
Modeling Multiple Parallel Instances of Activities |
New |
You can model multiple parallel instances of activities in the process composer, which allows you to execute a dynamic number of activity instances in parallel at runtime. For more information, see Modeling Multi-Instance Loops of Activities . |
|
Debugger |
New |
You have the option of debugging new process instances that you can start from the Developer Studio. For more information, see Debugging Processes . |
|
Process Analytics |
New |
Process analytics enables you to optimize your business performance through gathering historical, semi real-time, or real-time data from your business processes and performing reports and analysis. Reporting data can be loaded into Visual Composer and SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse. For more information, see Performing Process Analytics . |
|
anyType Support |
New |
You can define functions for which the input and output parameters are of an unknown type at design time by using xs:anyType. For more information, see Performing Complex Data Transformation with Functions . |
|
Casting Data Types |
New |
You can cast data types when you want one data type to be processed as a different data type. For more information, see Creating Expressions . |
|
Automapping |
New |
You can use a simple and advanced automapping option to have the system create proposals for data mappings between complex structures. For more information, see Defining Mappings Using the Automapping Option |
|
Translating Language-Specific Attributes in BPM |
New |
In your process model, you can translate different types of elements containing text. For more information, see Translating Language-Specific Attributes in BPM |
|
BPM - WD ABAP Integration |
New |
The UI assigned to a task allows the user to access and execute that task. You can assign a Web Dynpro ABAP (WDA) CHIP to a task. For more information, see Assigning a User Interface to a Task . |
|
Public APIs |
New |
With the Business Process Management (BPM) application programming interfaces (APIs), you can customize and enhance the way you use business processes and execute tasks. For more information, see Working with the BPM APIs . |
|
Usability |
New |
You can create data mappings, expressions, and functions using the keyboard only. For more information, see |
