Doubts in BPM-- N:1 and 1:N scenario

Question

Dear all,
I have a requirement where in some 10 files are placed at a location. The interface needs to consolidate/collated these files and generate a single file and send it to the target system after transformation.
The reverse process also needs to be done in some other interface. (Splitting a single file into 10 files)
After some analysis, I understood that BPM has to be used.
Please provide me with some useful blogs, which can directly solve my problem.
Thanks in advance,
Younus

Hi,
What kind of exceptions u want to raise.
1) its mapping related,
2) runtime exceptions
3) integration engine or adapter engine related.
there are two methods which will be used.
1) CCMS
2) Alert method.
U can inform the users through mail also.
Alert:
Alerts within XI give us a simple way to monitor only those errors that we want to and send alert messages to different people depending on the alert category.
Alert configuration is used to have the system inform you of errors during message processing.
By using the Alert Framework, central monitoring can be provided with all errors reported during message processing in ABAP and Java. This enables an improved reaction to such errors in both the ABAP runtime and the Java-based Adapter Engine. For this purpose, the Alert Framework is provided with rules based on certain events and on information from the header of the message protocol. These rules determine whether alerts are send or not.
Some of the examples are:
Specific Error Information from the Adapter Engine:
Container Element
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_TYPE CHAR70 Adapter type
SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT CHAR70 Error text from the Adapter Engine
Look at the way by which u can raise an alert.
For raising an alert you need to first configure the alert please follow the below weblog written by Michal Krawczyk
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
Configuration steps are: go to transaction ALRTCATDEF
1) Define Alert Category
2) Create container elements which are used for holding an error messages.
3) Recipient Determination.
Alert can be triggered in different ways.
1) Triggering by Calling a Function Module Directly.

2) Triggering by Calling a Function Module in the Workplace Plug-In.
3) Triggering with an Event Linkage.
4) Triggering with the Post Processing Framework (PPF) or Message Control (MC)
5) Triggering from a Workflow.
6) Triggering from CCMS with autoreaction.
7) Triggering from BPM.

8) Triggering alert by configuring a rule from RWB.

used only for raising Adapter and Integration engine ralated errors.
U can also go for CCMS method:
