Use SAP shadow functions in Enterprise BPMN models

You can use SAP shadow functions in models of the Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram and Enterprise BPMN process diagram types. In these diagrams, synchronization-relevant items can be visually differentiated from those that are non-relevant to SAP synchronization.

Prerequisites

You have downloaded a branch in SAP® Solution Manager 7.2. For this download, the method configuration was modified for the use of Enterprise BPMN diagrams.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the SAP branch and open an Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram or an Enterprise BPMN process diagram.
  2. Select a synchronization-relevant object that should no longer be relevant to SAP synchronization. In this example, the synchronization-relevant object is a User task.

    User task (synchronized)

  3. Activate the BPMN tab bar.
  4. Click Activity Activity > Toggle SAP shadow function. The object symbol is replaced:

    User task (non-synchronized)

    SAP functions represented by the SAP shadow function symbol are not relevant to SAP synchronization.

This SAP function will no longer be synchronized.

In the same way, you can change SAP shadow functions in SAP functions.
