Procomp Interaction Model

Posted on Jul. 14, 2010 at 09.15 PM - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

In the process components model (SAP ProComp model) you model the operations and service interfaces of a process component from the provider view: in the integration scenario model (SAP integration scenario model) you model the dependencies between the different process components of a value chain. To complete the communication the details between the different process components are missing. The process components interaction model (SAP ProComp interaction model) fills these gaps. You can only model a process components interaction model for an enterprise service interaction.

The following graphic displays the typical structure of such a model:

As depicted in the above graphic, it shows the interaction between 2 systems at the message type level, together with the transformation step if required.

Surprisingly though, while creating the the service operation and message type from the model, it does NOT recognize SAP standard service operation and message type, like IDOC and RFC directly. One way to overcome the issue, is to create the freely defined service operation and message type to wrap around it.

Life is beautiful! Let's make it meaningful and colorful!
