Why do we use Integration Scenario in IR

hi 2 all,
i wanted to know why do we use Integration Scenarios and how to configure it ,i mean what are the steps for it
Edited by: ujjwal kumar on Mar 11, 2008 11:19 AM

Hi,
The integration Scenario in IR will be useful for re-presenting the whole flow of the interface.
If you do the itegration scenrio in Design time then you do not need to follow the stpes which is required in configuration like creating Aggrement,determination and all. you just need to import the scenario from integration repository that will avoid configure part.
Usually during the audit time the auditor checks whether IS is designed or not? as that is the good practive to design ur scenario with IS.
Companion Guide to Integration scenario
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2006/02/17/companion-guide-to-integration-scenario
It will be good loaction to get all the information about whole interface.
You could either create or transport the same Integration scenario in ID.
With the use of Integration scenario you could model the whole interface with all minute details
It comes under best practices. So if you create the IS it will be very easy for you to understand the and designe the business flow. Morevere becomes very easy while creating/configuring the Integration Directory, you just need to import the design objects form IR.
If you will not create IS, there is no harm. So it all depends upon client and also you.

Configuration Scenario for BPM Using Integration Scenario

hi All,
I Have an Scenario where i am using BPM. Most of the blog tells about manually creating all Configuration objects. I had created an Integration Scenario for this scenario by referring to the earlier threads available for same.
Hoe to Create Integration Scenario for BPM Scenario
Integration Scenario in BPM and few more.
My IS looks like
Sender App Component - Integration Process - Receiver App Component
Now when i am trying to create Configuration scenario for same using model configurator, i am getting Model as "Not Configurable"
And when i click "Configurability Check" Button, i am getting below as status:
Component view IS_POC_BPM: Connection from receivePayload to getABSPayload does not have an inbound service interface
Component view IS_POC_BPM : Connection from sendABSPayload to getPayload has no outbound interface
getABSPayload and sendABSPayload are actions for Abstract interfaces.
IS_POC_BPM is the Integration Process Name.
Also in Integration Scenario, when i create connection between sender action to BPM action there is no inbound interface coming. And viceversa.
Please help me in identifying if i am doing any thing wrong in creating this scenario.
Is it possible to create Configuration Scenario for BPM Using Integration Scenario?
Thanks,
Mayank

I think you shoudl refer the available Integration Scenarios created for BPMs in IR --> SAP BASIS --> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns
Sender template will have the Action with Outbound Service Interface and then in the BPM Template the action will have Inbound Interface.....then within the BPM itself this inbound will be mapped to Action with Abstract Interface
may be after looking the Integration scenarios you will get more idea

Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I am new to XI. I need to know about Integration Scenario. What is it? Why we are using Integration Scenario? How it differs from Integration Process? and how to use Integration Scenario? Give a simple example (like file to file using Integration Scenario).
Thanks and Regards,
Nithya

Hi,
>>>Integration Scenario,Why we are using Integration Scenario,how to use Integration Scenario
Integration scenario is used to logically relate all XI objects for a particular scenario. It also eases the creation of configuration objects.
You use an integration scenario to define the message exchange and message flow for collaborative processes. Normally, these are processes between different business partners that are generally coupled by the exchange of messages.
The integration scenario provides you with a central point of access for all objects that you require for semantic and technical integration, for example interfaces, mappings, and software components.
You can integrate an executable integration process into an integration scenario.

An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.
You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries.

What is integration scenario & integration process in IR?

hi friends
1). can any one explain me about Integration scenario and Integration processes in "INTEGRATION REPOSITORY"?
2). why we need to use this IS & IP(integration scenario and integration processes?
3). what is advantage of using IS & IP(integration scenario and integration processes?
if you have any related links and documents please refer to me..................

Hi Bharat,
Integration Scenario
An integration scenario completely models the exchange of
messages for a collaborative process and provides an overview of the process flow.
It is overview of your whole integration scenario. In Integration Scenario each Swimlane represents a different business system. Mean you will have number of swimlanes as number of business system involved in your integration. Swimlane contains action. Actions are used for mentioning Inbound and outbound interfaces for the corresponding swimlane(business system).
Why we are using Integration Scenario?
We use integration scenario to genearate Integration Directory objects like Receiver Determination, Interface determination, Sender agreeement etc.
All XI content objects must be assigned to one or more integration scenarios (IS). Delivering XI-Content in the framework of an IS has the following advantages:
1. The IS provides you with a central point of access for all integration objects. This is necessary for semantic and technical integration and facilitates business-driven development.
2. The IS helps customers to understand the underlying business scenario of XI content objects.
3. The IS serves as a kick-start for the configuration of the content at the customer site. The aim is to minimize the configuration effort for the customer.

Urgent requirement..Integration scenario

Hi folks,
We need to create configuration objects in directory using integration scenario. However one of our application components would be a business service and not a system. When we try to assign services in the second step of configurator it only shows the Business Systems.

Integration Scenarios vs Process Component Modelling

Hi Experts,
Just wanted to know:
1) How theoritically and technically, is 7.0's Integration Scenarios different from 7.1's Process modelling?
2) For what kind of cases we go for Integartion Scenarios and for what kind of cases we model a PCM?
3) What is "Deployment Unit" in PCM?
Thanks
Shailesh

Hi,
>>>1) How theoritically and technically, is 7.0's Integration Scenarios different from 7.1's Process modelling?
Process Component modeling is ment for modeling SOA, where you create a Business Object, Service Interfaces, etc and this help to understand the business semantics of enterprise services in the business process platform. And you will not create Receiver Determination, Interfaces Determination out if that. Where as Integration Scenario is meant only for integration where you define Sender system, receiver system etc...
>>>2) For what kind of cases we go for Integartion Scenarios and for what kind of cases we model a PCM?For normal integration between 2 or more systems you use Integration Scenario. But Process Component Model is for Service Provisioning.
>>>3) What is "Deployment Unit" in PCM?
All the related/dependent Process Components are tied together in one unti and this is called Deployment unit. It also describes the logical boundary of the Process Component. Apart from this deployment units are the only installable units and this shows what types of interactions are needed between process components.
Thanks,
Prakash

How to use objects from other SWCs in my BPM Integration Scenario

Dear all,
I am experiencing some difficulties with the following. I have created a BPM Integration Scenario in a SWC. It contains a tranformation step in which a message from that SWC is split and mapped to two IDOCs. These IDOCs are imported in anothern SWC which I use for common objects. I have created Abstract Message Interfaces based on these IDOCs in this "COMMON" SWC, but the probIem is that I cannot use them in my scenario in the other SWC. Even though I have a usage dependency (Installation Time) created to the "COMMON" SWC.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
Will happily provide points for good answers.
Auke

Thus, I would have to copy/import all objects to the same SWC?
Or create a separate SWC for BPM Integration scenarios?
I have tried to create the Abstract Message Interface in the SWC and reference it to the IDOC structure in the "COMMON" SWC. This results in a reference to an invalid object during activation. Even though the defined usage dependency.
What's the standard solution?
Cheers,
Auke

Using of Integration Scenario in a Abap Proxy to JDBC receiver synchronous

Hi ,
Can any one help me out how to go about for creating Integraion scenario in ESR as i'm new to the use of Integration scenario..
its an Abap proxy to Jdbc synchronous scenario... kindly help in this regards.

Hi Indudhar,
Right click on the namespace where you want to create the IS and say new, Select process integration scenario option, give a suitable name and say OK.
In the Component View section right click on the first grey column and Insert a sender Application component. Enter ur product and the software component version. Like wise in the next grey column enter the target Application component.
Now go to the top level menu and click on view and select grid.
Now right click on each App. component and insert the created actions. If the scenario is sync then the actions will be side by side otherwise the target one will be in the next grid of the target app. component.
After entering the actions click on the source action then press shift and click on the target action, right click and choose create connection between the two actions.
Fill in the info and then save.
Regards,
Anshul

Use of Integration Scenario & Actions??????

Can body tell me the use of Integration Scenario & actions in Integration repository?

In simple terms...
Integration Scenario represents one view of your complete integration scenario.
It includes all the components like business system, interfaces, business process etc.
You can import the same Integration scenario designed in IR to ID and use it for configuration purpose. No need to define all objects separately. ALL under one roof.
1. Integration Scenarios are definitely not just for documentation. With them, you avoid having to create the Configuration Objects manually (or even interface by interface, using wizard); you just run the scenario configurator, relate each application component to a business service/system/integration scenario, create/refer necessary Communication Channels and that's it;
.2. Of course you can use business services in Integration Scenario Configurator, but only for B2B communications. Hence, your application component must be set with "external" flag (same for action);
3. You don't "import" BPM from IS into ID. You just refer to the Integration Process as a service, meaning, the only information you have about IP in Integration Directory is its interfaces, inbound or outbound (output or input ones; actually they are all abstract);
Finally, for the actual question: an action reflects an execution within the integration scope, meaning, a system triggering an access to other system(s). In XI's scope, that execution means one interface, and that's exactly the information that goes into the action: the interface, its type (message interface, imported RFC/IDoc etc), whether it refers to an internal (reflecting an A2A scenario) or an external (reflecting a B2B scenario) system and whether it's an outgoing or incoming message (outbound or inbound, in the point of view of the application systems).

Why does my Thinkpad W541 use Integrated graphics in WoW instead of the nVidia Quadro K1100m?

I have seen reviews by many people on the W540/541 and they all said they were getting around 100 fps in WoW and even the guy in this video was able to play it on high-setitngs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0j045vg3W8 Don't get me wrong I use this device for mainly professional work, but every now and then I would like to be able to play a game on it or two. thanks!

According to a number of contributors on a number of threads regarding the same subject, THIS IS BY DESIGN.
If you want to force use the K1100m on the W541, it will need to be (a) on an external monitor and (b) controlled through a dock, rather than via the video connectors on the laptop itself. According to "the specs", the laptop screen is always handled by the Intel Graphics... no matter whether the W540/W541 BIOS is set to "basic" or "advanced" graphics mode.
According to the following description of how graphics works in W540/W541 and newer machines (which is that Optimus Mode is always active, although you can select "basic mode" or "advanced mode"), you simply MUST use Optimus Mode and cannot disable Intel Graphics as you could with the W530.
Now I'd always thought that in theory for the laptop screen you can use nVidia Control Panel (3D settings) to specify which programs you want to get nVidia graphics for when those programs' windows have focus). But my experience (granted, with the W530 and not with W540/W541) is that nVidia graphics kick in (and take over for Intel graphics) reliably only when the firmware determines that graphics performance requirements justify it.
Strangely, the description of Optimus Driver behavior (below) makes no mention of the NVidia graphics ever kicking in for the laptop screen, but I thought that was how it worked. Confusing and contradictory descriptions, seemingly. You'd think that gaming applications would be just such an example of "graphics performance demands nVidia graphics", but your thread subject suggests that nVidia is NOT kicking in (I assume you're running on your laptop screen, and have probably tried to go to nVidia Control Panel to request nVidia graphics when you run WoW), which would be consistent with the written descriptions but very definitely annoying. On the W530, Optimus behavior had the K1000m definitely kicking in on the laptop screen when needed.
So apparently by design Optimus is always active on W540/W541 and newer machines. You can´t actually disable the integrated GPU at all and force the use of the discrete graphics, as you can on the W530 for the K1000m nVidia graphics via its BIOS. Here is the description of Optimus Drivers for W541, which describes Standard vs. Advanced mode, and by implication how the new W540/W541 BIOS design works:
STANDARD and ADVANCED MODE
In Standard mode, all dock displays uses Integrated Graphics as display output
and is limited to a maximum of 3 displays including Computer's LCD.
While in Advanced mode, all dock displays uses Discrete Graphics as display
output and it increases the maximum number of displays to 6 including Computer's LCD.

Adding a new reciever to an existing integration scenario of conf in PI7.0

Hi SapAll.
here i have got a requirement to add one more reciever to an existing integration scenario in Integration Directory(Configuration).
this Integration scenario is for sending the idoc MATMAS.MATMAS05 From 5 Different SAP-R/3 Systems to 2 Recievers.
here iam using 5 different business systems with idoc communication channels for sending idocs and 2 business systems for recieving idocs in file format with file adapters.
so when iam trying to create new reciever detarmination or Interface Determination, it says object already exists.
but i can created reciever agreement without any error.
so can anybody guide me on how to create the Interface,Reciever Determinations without any error.
regards.
Varma

now i just created a new business system with file communication channel
Why have a Business System for a FILE channel? We normaly use Business Component/ Service.
You mentioned IDOC SENDER channels....why? For IDOC we just create Receiver channels...unless you want to specify IDOC packaging.
when iam trying to create a reciever detarmination from one of the existing sender system say like BUS_SENDER2 to new
reciver system ex:NEW_BUS_RECIEVER it says object already exists.
Receiver Determination can have the same BUS_SENDER2 system/ service as sender....but it should not have the same Interface Name....this is where PI is throwing the error.
There already exists a Receiver Detremination with BUS_SENDER2 as source system and the same message interface.
You can reuse the same RD by just entering one more receiver system/ service below the already existing one (in the RD)
In short just search your ID and you will see a RD created with the source details which you are trying to use.
If you want to see a difference, then create a new sender service/ system and then use this to create the RD!
Regards,
Abhishek.

Integration Scenario Configuator and Business Services (B2B)

We use Business Services to define the services provided by our external business partners (e.g. a transport organization has defined some webservices to which we connect to).
The reason why we use Business Services is that we don't have to define them in the SLD. And we understand from the documentation that external business systems should be defined as Business Services and not Business Systems.
Now we want to use the Integration Scenario Configurator, but when we define a B2B service in the Integation Scenario, we cannot create the communication channels with the wizard. Futhermore the other object (receiver determination etc.) is also not created for the business service.
When we take a look at the definition of a B2B scenario in the SAP documentation, the documentation describes a complete different use of B2B. We understand from the documentation that B2B is a cross company XI landscape where all partners have there own XI system. This also explains the behavure in the configurator since one party cannot access its own business systems.
This leaves us with the following questions:
1. Is B2B only possible for XI to XI scenario's?
2. Is a service provided by a partner a business system?
3. And do we have to include all communication end point in the SLD?
Kind regards,
Christiaan Schaake

Dear Christiaan,
I encountered the same problem. What I did was that I created a party for the external business partner and assigned a business service to it. Beside this you have to check the box (ext. party w. B2B comm) under communication type in the application component in the integration scenario.
When you have done this you can create comm. channel with the wizard and also the other objects.
see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e6/908d3f7057eb0ce10000000a114084/content.htm
Regarding your questions: depending on the way we think, we can come up with different answers. I don't think this is what you're looking for.
Maybe someone else can give you a clear answer.

Integration scenarios from scratch -- idocs or enterprise service bundles

Hello,
We are starting a SAP PI implementation for a new SAP ECC 6.0 system. The implementation is from scratch, so we don't have to consider any historical issues or decisions. One of the first business processes to be integrated with business partners is the Procure-to-Pay process. The old way of implementing this B2B scenario was with idocs (e.g. ORDERS05 and INVOIC03), but nowadays the enterprise service bundles also contain services for this scenario. Should I choose idocs or enterprise services as a technique to get the information send to SAP PI or send the information to SAP ECC? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques? Does anyone have experience with the implementation of the enterprise services for Procure-to-Pay?
Thanks for your response!
Kind Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
here are my 2 cents to your very interesting disussion.
The IDOC was designed to customize EDI data distributions between SAP Systems via messagetypes and transaktioncodes (Vorgangscodes) in the partnerdetermination which itself is mapped (the "Vorgangscode") to functional modules to do "something". The complete customizing of IDOC distribution might sometimes seems to be complex (and we both know it is more than that but it is FULL CUSTOMIZABLE from a consulting point of view.
The Enterprise Service (my personal view multiplied with the last TechEds and RampUp Delta courses) have another focus. An Enterprise Service is (mostly) some entity which is consumable from the outside world such that they are implemented with Request-Response patterns. When you only want to distribute information why will one use something like Request Response Patterns? One could argue to get back any response, any confirmation or something else....but this is also possible with IDOCs and their acks.
Another argument against to use an ES for P2P outbound scenario is, if yet not seen any ES which is triggert while create a purchase order in its related transaction. Is the BADI for such Transaction triggering the ES while the save event has been processed? If you could find out this fact and if the BADI (or some new kind of user exit for transactions) is implemented and fully supported from SAP I would choose the ES in the P2P processs. Otherwise why using the ES instead of the IDOC when using a PI as Middleware which is converting the source message type (ES or IDOC) into its proparitary legacy system format. Please let me know when you found such userexit/BADI for ES.
Please don't missunderstand my point of view, I would really throw away these IDOCS and using a couple of ES instead but what is the fully supported STANDARD from a customizable and manageable point of view. When you are familiar with proxy technology you know how easy to implement, monitor and manageble theses technology is - BUT - you always have to code some (maybe not release independent) proxy method and you maybe have to invest some knowledge for error handling, rollbacks or additional commit works - all of these stuff will be handled (mostly ) by the SAP standard delivered functions.
Last but not least - if there is any standard out there to trigger an ES from a transaction without coding I would rather use the ES instead of the IDOC. If there is no such standard I would discuss the functionality with the customer (if to complex implement an inbound or outbound proxy=ES) or extend the IDOC or use a BAPI (and extend the BAPI if needed) - mostly the proxy will the be the easiest choice if the needed field count is not to much (<30).
So long, let me know about your findings and your decision.
Regards,
Dries
