Orchastration of Web Services

[Former Member]

Hello,

do you use orchastration of web services? I would like to extract

some reusable processes in BPM and include them in other BPMs.

How do you call them? Do you use Web Services to trigger

the excluded processes?

thanks

Thanks for answers. But your hints are to use BPEL programms or

to use other products like BEA.

I would like to know how you do this with SAP XI?

HI,

BPM can consume any other BPM. During Configuration in Integraton Directory, add the second BPM as a Business Service and do the reciever/interface determinaton accordingly.

The strongest orchestration technology candidate is the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). It was jointly created by IBM, BEA and Microsoft in August 2002. Within a year, BPEL 1.1 was submitted to OASIS to obtain open standardization. With all major players in the industry now participating in the BPEL open standards process, BPEL will be the undisputed standard for the orchestration of XML Web Services.

So for BPM also we have used BPEL only. Yes its possible to add the BPM Processes into other BPM process as sub-process.

BPM can send and receive messages like any other application system(business system). When you send a message from your first BPM using send step try specifying your second BPM as a receiver of the message from first BPM(in receiver determination and interface determination).

The components of an orchestration solution address the needs for development, deployment and management based on asynchronous services as the core design center. These include means for describing the interactions (choreography, e.g. based on the BPEL4WS/WS-C/WS-T set of specifications), authoring the business logic (orchestration logic), facilities for executing the interactions (orchestration server) and managing/maintaining the deployed transactions/processes (orchestration console).
