Hi,
1. Integration server :
The Integration Server is the SAP Exchange Infrastructure runtime component for receiving and controlling the messages.

2.Integration Process
Integration process is a process that allows message processing between systems with different landscape.
You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).
3.Action
An action represents a function within an application component that is not subdivided further. Actions subdivide the process flow of an integration scenario. You have internal and external actions.
4.Fault message
A fault message is a message that describes an application-specific error situation.

5.Context object
Context objects are a simple alternative to XPath expressions for accessing the contents of a message.
Creating context object : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/9ddca372cbf146bdcdf54db7737623/content.htm
Activities
       1.      Create a context object on the design maintenance screen of the Integration Builder       2.      Select a built-in XSD data type for your context object by using the Reference Type list box and save it.
       3.      Open the interface that you want to assign a context object to in the Integration Repository. You can only assign context objects to the request message of interfaces in the same or in a superordinate software component version.
       4.      To assign the context object to a request message field, enter it in the Context Object column by using the input help. For message interfaces, the structure of the request message is displayed on the Context Object tab page.
       5.      If you want to undo the assignment of a context object, select the name of the context object and choose Delete Context Object Assignment ( ).
       6.      Activate your changes.
6. Business process is equivalent to integration process.
7.Business scenario.
It is part of your software cycle management.
