Hi,

The IP and the BPM are not different.

its explaniation from [help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3c/831620a4f1044dba38b370f77835cc/content.htm]

The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).

At configuration time, you configure the receiver determination for the integration process in the Integration Directory of the Integration Builder.

At runtime, the Business Process Engine executes the integration processes. The Business Process Engine is part of the Integration Server.

Cross-component Business Process Management is integrated with the business workflow. An integration process can send messages to a workflow and, conversely, messages from a workflow can be processed in an integration process.

Thanks

Hi,

you could say an Integration Process is an object in XI that represents and implements a "real life" Business Process.
