Scenario: integration view of an abstract collaborative business process
BPM process: executable collaborative business process
Process is assigned to a swimlane visualization of the public parts of the process
- process is part of a software component of the product - navigation from swimlane in scenario to process object
One action and connection per abstract interface* of the process - checked consistency between process interface and connections in scenario Executable process (behind the swimlane) for Business Process Engine
*the process interface requires XI interfaces of type abstract in integration repository
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 23
XI Demo Sample: Multiple Flight Booking with BPM
The scenario outlines a collaboration between an agency and several airlines. The agency orders connection flights from the airlines and cancels sometimes flights.
Agency Airline Airline Airline A Agency A
Flight1 from Frankfurt to New York
Airline B
Flight: From Frankfurt to San Francisco - Airline A Flight1 - Airline B Flight2
Flight2 from New York to San Francisco
Agency orders and cancels connection flights
Airline books, confirms and accepts cancelation of the flight

Business Scenario: Multiple Flight Booking as defined in XI Integration Builder

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 25
Executable Business Process: Multiple Flight Booking Coordination (inside)
Coordinator: MultipleFlightBookingCoordination as defined in XI Integration Builder
receive flight request and split for airlines
send parallel messages to airlines and wait for each confirmation
evaluate confirmations add positiv confirmations to confirmation list
- response for positive confirmation: merge confirmations into one multipe confirmation message and send it to the agency - response for negativ confirmation: send cancelation to agency
