2 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Pilot introduction ● Participating in the networked organisation through a collaborative process: launching an external change request ● Actors: ● EADS (OEM) - Aerospace ● Landing Gear Provider (supplier) ● Scenario: ● An engineer at EADS discovers that the braking system of the spacecraft has to be changed ● This change impacts the wheels provided by LGP

5 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Modeling steps (1) ● Model the private process in Maestro (PP)

6 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Modeling steps (2) ● Model the private process in Maestro (PP) ● Create the public view of the process (VP)

7 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Modeling steps (3) ● Model the private process in Maestro (PP) ● Create the public view of the process (VP) ● Share this public view with our partner ● Create together the Cross Business Process

8 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Modeling steps (4) ● Model the private process in Maestro (PP) ● Create the public view of your process (VP) ● Share this public view with our partner ● Create together the Cross Business Process ● Generate the final public views

9 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Service definition ● Call an external web services from Private Processes ● Message exchange between the processes (collaboration) ● Done using Johnson and Gabriel ● Mapping is done in Maestro: Workflow Relevant Data to services

10 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Next steps ● Run it in a distributed environment (each partner is running Maestro + Nehemiah + Gabriel + Johnson) with partners exchanging messages between senders and receivers nodes  currently not possible due to a bug in Gabriel ● Call web services to store and upload data in the PLM repository  currently not possible due to limitation of accepted format of exchanged messages (XML arrays of elements are not supported)

11 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Feedback Some integration and design issues: Interconnection with legacy engines? Call to other than web services (legacy integration, API calls) Better and easier integration of the tools Ability to go from a shared CBP on the NCPPD to PP From Business point of view, it really responds to an important need to hide private processes and to interconnect several enactment services with distributed activities From innovative point of view, it is really something new which is not addressed by current tools and standards

19 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Service interfaces definition for collaboration ● WSDL files for the collaboration: ● Definition of operation for receivers and format of message ● Workflow information ● Registration in Johnson ● Your interface should be configured as server and use Gabriel’s notification ● Your partner’s interface should be configured as a client ● Creation of tasks in Gabriel (visible by Maestro): ● For senders ● For receivers

20 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Services and schema definition Defined by creating WSDL and schemas by hand. WSDL is mapped with Workflow relevant data in Maestro => Long task requiring expertise in WSDL and XML schemas

22 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Interface tasks definition in Gabriel (LGP)

23 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Modeling steps - Mapping ● Define the Workflow Relevant Data (XML file): ● Choices conditions ● Content of messages exchanged between the instances of processes (senders and receivers nodes) ● Workflow information ( CoalitionWorkflowInstanceId and CoalitionWorkflowModelId ) ● In Maestro on the CBP Model: ● Assign Service interface to senders and receivers ● Map the WRD to the Service Interfaces

24 ATHENA M30 Intermediate Audit, September 2006, Brussels © ATHENA Consortium 2006 Web service call ● Should be defined during the modeling of Private Process ● Creation of the corresponding endpoints in Johnson ● Creation of private service tasks profiles in Gabriel ● Mapping between WRD and content of SOAP message in Maestro
