Help required in UCM BPEL integration

Question

Myself Rahul Dutta from itech Technology Sales Consulting team India.
We are working on a customer scenario where we need to call a BPEL
process when we are checking in a document in the UCM.
The document checkin and the BPEL process triggering is totally
independent (not like UCM BPEL integration where the UCM document will
be released into the repository after BPEL workflow gets completed and
callback happened to UCM).
The scenario here is I will checkin a document in UCM and it will be
released there but parallaly it will trigger a BPEL process which we
will use to do some notification and workflow staff, but the workflow
outcome will not have any impact in te UCM.
We need your help in implementing tis scenario. How we can sence/trigger
a BPEL process when a document is cheking in. I have though of multiple
possibilities like if UCM can do some update in some table which we can
poll from BPEL or if UCM can call a webservice at the time of document
checkin or any other way.
Please help us in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul

Answer 1

Hello Mukesh,
                    If you want to learn about RFID technology in general
http://www.rfidjournal.com can be the best start.
As you are a expert in XI it would be very beneficial and your learning curve for SAP RFID technogy will be very easy.
SAP RFID Solution Suite includes:
1) SAP AII
2) SAP EM
3) SAP OER (a new component that encompasses - SAP AII, SAP EM and a data repository for storing RFID events happening across the supply chain)
Scope of XI here is quite important.
You will integrate SAP AII to backend R/3 using SAP XI
You will integrate SAP AII with SAP OER using SAP XI
You will integrate SAP AII and SAP EM within SAP OER with SAP XI.
To learn more about RFID in general and the domains it is being used and useful for you can also look into:
http://www.bridge-project.eu/
Here you can find a free software deliverable which explains very well how RFID works in warehouses and distrbution centers. Once this is done, you can easily transcend to learn SAP AII and SAP EM
To find basic documentation on SAP AII please refer:
