BPM Sample Applications Released

Former Member

Hello All,

I would like to announce the release of the new package of BPM sample applications using SAP NetWeaver BPM technology. SAP customers and partners will find them ready-to-run in the [Enterprise Services Workplace|http://esworkplace.sap.com] (ES Workplace) ([http://esworkplace.sap.com|http://esworkplace.sap.com]) environment, together with technical documentation, process models, coding, and demo data. They serve as a starting point and accelerator for SOA projects using SAP NetWeaver BPM, and as a tool for demo and training purposes.

These BPM sample applications are implementations of typical business processes, such as:

u2022 Approve Sales Order Change Request

u2022 Approve Purchase Requisition and Create Purchase Order

u2022 Manage Leave Request

u2022 Unexpected Returns Handling

u2022 Phase In Equipment

In addition, the SOA landscape hosted on the ES Workplace site has been upgraded to Support Package 3 of SAP ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4. It comes with refreshed IDES test data, which allows customers and partners to apply updated and standardized test data to their demos, tests and development. To get immediate benefit, customers and partners need to renew their passwords as of November 2, 2009. All registered ES Workplace users will be informed via email by next week.

You can share your experience with the samples in this BPM forum. If you have any questions, post them here as well, I will try to answer everyone.

Thanks, Preslav

First of all thanks for letting everybody know. From a BPM PERSPECTIVE I liked the return material sample , but none of the samples have any error handling(boundary events) for auto and human activities. Also for automated activity the transformation is carried in business rules.Is this the best practise?

Hi Manish,

thanks for the feedback. You are right, we omitted exception handling in the process for this first set of BPM Samples fully focusing on the business process and the enterprise services. For a real productive solution exception handling needs to be added, of course - but for the purpose of BPM Simple Samples this would distract from the essential parts. We are currently considering more complex Samples which then will also include exception handling using the features of upcoming NetWeaver BPM 720.

Regarding your question about best practice of using business rules, can you please be a bit more specific which BPM Sample and task you are referring to?

Best regards,

Christoph

HI Christoph,

I had couple of questions:

1)If there is any transformation needed in BPM(EG checking an if/else condition) then where it should be carried out?

2)Why is SAP investing so heavily for automated activiies in CE when they already have CCBPM in PI for those.Is there any future plans for sunsetting PI
