| integration scenario (BC-XI) |
Describes a cross-component process that is based on messages that are exchanged by using SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
All the aspects that are relevant for exchanging messages when integrating a cross-system process are contained in the integration scenario. If any executable integration processes are involved in the process, these can also be included in the integration scenario. In the Integration Directory, you can use an integration scenario as a template during configuration and configure it as well. On a technical level, an integration scenario is an SAP Exchange Infrastructure design object. The various elements in an integration scenario directly reference the design objects (integration processes, interfaces, and mappings) that are required for the collaborative process. Integration scenarios are stored in the Integration Repository and can be shipped together with all the objects they contain.
