Click to open the Process Templates page to add, edit or delete the templates associated with the process. This action can only be performed when the process is inactive.

Click to activate or deactivate the process. The button displays a green icon for active processes and a red icon for inactive processes.

NOTE: When using Master Data Management component with Integrate, if the scenario is in any status other than Published, the Designer can activate or deactivate the process in Integrate as needed to test and troubleshoot the process. Refer to Manage MDM Scenarios for more information about working with scenarios in MDM.

If enabled, the process is active.

Click to open the Process Post page to view details about the process posts and to post data to SAP. The number displays the total of process posts added whether posted or not. If the process is not active, this icon is disabled.

Click to open the Report  Process  to view details about the process such as the templates assigned to the process, process template loops, field mappings, and relationships.

Basic Properties

Displays the order the process appears on the Process page’s Horizontal View.

Displays the unique name for the process entered when the process was added.

Displays a description of the process.

Select the template to be the initial template for the process. Additional templates can be added later. This list box is only visible when adding a process.

Data Source Properties

Displays the name of the data source for the process. Integrate posts the data stored in this data source to SAP during the post process  depending on the template type . When adding the process, a user selected the data source from a list of all data sources registered to the Stewardship Tier.

Displays on this page when adding a process only. Select a view from View Name list box depending on the template type. This field is required when adding a process based on a BDC Script or GUI Script. After the process is saved, the View Name field no longer displays on the Vertical View, and so cannot be edited on this page.

NOTE: For a view name to display in this list box, the view created in SQL must be named with a tx prefix and an Int suffix, the default view filter included with Integrate on the Parameters Integrate page in Common. The filter can be updated in the View Name Filter field.

NOTE: To streamline adding a process, the selected view is registered as the view for all process template loops to the initially chosen template, and the columns in the view are automatically mapped to matching fields on the Process Template Loop Field Mapping page.

Integrate can automatically generate the view name when using the Auto Generate Database Objects feature. If using this feature, do not select a view name.

Description

Execution Options

Displays the post execution method for processes based on a BDC Script, GUI Script or BAPI/RFC template. Values are:

• Asynchronous – Executes the post for each template sequentially without waiting for the template post to return before executing the next template post. Asynchronous posting may result in locking, especially when posting a combination of GUI and BDC templates in the same process.
• Synchronous – Executes the post for each template but waits for the post to return before executing the next post. Synchronous is a slower execution method but prevents most recording locking situations. 

Displays the number of milliseconds between template execution for each post for processes based on a BDC Script, GUI Script or BAPI/RFC template. The default value is 0 seconds, which indicates there is no delay between the execution of templates during a post. Enter a value greater than 0 if posting a multiple template process that contain transactions that take some non-trivial time to save and exit. This situation is more common when working with GUI Script templates than with BDC Script templates.

Displays the amount of time, in milliseconds, that passes after processing of one record is complete and processing of the next record can begin.

Use this setting to avoid data locking issues.

The recommended time is from 250 (.25 seconds) to 1000 (1 second).

This setting is used for processes based on a BDC Script, GUI Script or BAPI/RFC template. By default, there is no delay between record processing.
