Key Points

  1. XML Format: The XML namespace (http://schemas.acme.example/O2C/1.0) can be used by Nodinite to auto-detect the Message Type
  • Correlation: Same CorrelationId ({PREFIX}-{DATEPART}-{SEQUENCE}) maintains linkage from Step 1
  1. ERP Reference: The ERPReferenceNumber context property enables tracing back to ERP
  2. Increased Processing Time: 156ms indicates ERP processing overhead vs. Step 1 (45ms)
  3. Send Direction: EndPointDirection: 1 indicates data flows outward from ERP
  4. Sequence Number: Incremented to 1 to show processing order
  5. Repository Binding: Includes an external service relation to Step 1's RCV-Order-Incoming service in the Portal system

Repository Binding for Step 2

This log event includes a Repository Binding JSON that defines:

  • Service: INT1337-ENT-Order-Entry with Direction Send
  • System: ERP
  • Integration: INT1337 - Order-to-Cash
  • ExternalServiceRelations: Links to INT1337-RCV-Order-Incoming in the Portal system (the data source)
  • BPM: Specifies this is Step 1 in the Planning domain (Index 1) with milestone name "Order Entry in ERP Finished"
  • BPM ServiceRelations: Includes a relation back to the INT1337-RCV-Order-Incoming service showing the incoming data flow from Step 0 (Sales domain) with:
    • Label: "Order Received" - Displays on the connector arrow in the UI
    • ConnectorStyle: 1 - Orthogonal connector with arrow (recommended for main process flows)
    • SourceAttachmentPoint: 2 - Arrow originates from the bottom of Step 1 (Planning/ERP box)
    • TargetAttachmentPoint: 0 - Arrow terminates at the top of Step 0 (Sales/Portal box)

The BPM ServiceRelations structure creates the visual connector between steps in the process diagram. This shows that Step 1 (Planning domain) receives data from Step 0 (Sales domain). The Syncfusion connector routing style 1 (orthogonal with arrow) creates right-angle paths that work well in dense integration landscapes. When processed with AllowRepositoryAutomapping=true, these connections build the complete BPM visualization.
