Process Functional Expansions

For information on the functional expansions supported by the Process Engine, refer to:

The Process Engine supports integration with third-party applications such as Oracle, SAP, Siebel, and Peoplesoft. The integration is achieved via the FileNet-provided IBM CrossWorlds® InterChange Server.

To facilitate the exchange of data, the Process Engine maps its workflow, queue, and operation definitions to corresponding objects on the IBM CrossWorlds InterChange server. The object mapping allows requests to pass in both directions between the two servers.

The Process EAI Connector resides on the Process Engine and attaches to the IBM CrossWorlds InterChange Server as shown in the following figure. The Process EAI Connector controls the interaction between the Process Engine and the IBM CrossWorlds InterChange Server.
