Managing Multiple Processes with Process Direct in SAP Integration Suite

On the Integration Suite platform, it may be necessary to manage multiple integration processes simultaneously. In this article, we will cover the basics of how to achieve multi-process management. The following diagram illustrates an integration process where multiple processes can be managed using HTTPS Sender and Process Direct Sender. One of the most critical elements of this process is the use of a Router. 

Intended Use of the Process Direct Adapter (formerly CPI) 

The primary purpose of using the Process Direct adapter in business processes is to enable fast and efficient communication between integration flows (i-flows) within the same tenant. This adapter optimizes data exchange between processes by reducing network latency and load. Additionally, it provides access to multiple processes through a single interface, making integration flows more structured and manageable. As a result, it ensures a direct and seamless connection between systems, enhancing overall integration performance. 

Creating The IFlow

HTTPS Adapter

A function that configures the necessary HTTPS settings to call the desired process. 

Content Modifier

A function that transforms and customizes incoming data into the required format. 

JSON to XML

Converts incoming JSON data into XML format. 

Default Route

If the Router does not find the required data, it needs a default route to follow. For example, this Default Route can be configured to return an error message when the desired process is not found. 

Router

The Router function directs messages to different receivers or interfaces based on predefined conditions at runtime. As shown in the diagram above, the Router enables connections to seven different processes. 

Process Direct Receiver

The Process Direct Receiver is a function that allows sending and receiving data between different integration flows. At this step, the address of the target IFlow should be specified

In conclusion, after creating the IFlow that manages all processes, the integration is completed by configuring the Process Direct (multiple Iflows) settings on other processes.
