Hi ,

<i>A2A & B2B</i>

This thread explains you the difference between A2A and B2B.

<i>BPM & ccBPM</i> both are same....

BPM is used to implement work-flow spanning across multiple application system against embedding the parts of work-flow in application system. Apart from this it also help achive other scenarios like, bridging synch and asynch systems, alert mechanism, multi mapping etc. Check the BPM overview document in SDN download section.

Check out the use cases discussed at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/de/766840bf0cbf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

BPM is mainly used in senarios where extra functionalities are to be done with the source message which cannot be done using the normal mapping and user-defined functions, like

-->Collecting of messages till a certain count or for a specific criteria.

-->Merging messages

-->Spliting messages

-->Processing of error files and sending to specific location and sending alerts.

-->Parallel processing of two criterias at the same time can also be done using BPM.

some weblogs on BPM...

A2A & B2B

>>>> A2A - most of the scenarios in the blogs on XI use a A2A approach. The main difference is that a B2B scenario is used when communicating to another business say a Vendor/Supplier etc. In case of B2B we go in to create a Party for the communication and mostly involves a DUNS number specific for each agency involved in the scenario. In A2A your BS will be under service without party but not in case of B2B.

In case of ccBPM and BPM both are the same. Look at the earlier posts mentioning weblogs to give you a better idea.

Do get back in case you need more info.

A DUNS number is a unique number used to identify a particular business - http://www.geotrust.com/true_businessid/order/duns_number.htm
