How to Integrate your Blueprint with SAP Netweaver BPM

1. Business ScenarioThe starting point to implement a NetWeaver BPM solution is the blueprinting phase whereyou would document and specify the BPM requirements. Some of the technical requirements

that are captured during Blueprinting are Business Process Flow models (BPMN diagrams),User Interfaces, Business Rules, Enterprise Services etc. Capturing such requirementsdirectly within Business Process Blueprinting (BPB) and thereafter giving BPM developersaccess to the same requirements inside NWDS not only gives developers the overall contextbut also reduces the total cost of implementation.

2. Background InformationIt is assumed that the Blueprint Project is already created in Solution Manager and you havecreated a preliminary business process hierarchy inside SOLAR01/BPB. Ensure you haveSAP NetWeaver BPM configured as a Logical Component inside your system landscape.

3. PrerequisitesThis document assumes the following:
