Technical Integration of Business Workflows in Process Visibility – Overview

I recently added a Business Workflow for a Demo and a training in a Process Visibility Scenario  for Workflow Monitoring purposes. In the demo I used a S/4HANA OP System. In this blog I will illustrate the technical Integration and what needs to be done to get a preconfigured Live Process Dashboard also for Business Workflows.

Thanks a lot, to our teams and colleagues helping to configure the integration and realize the demo!

Availability of the integration for SAP ERP, S/4 HANA (Cloud and OP)

The following steps need to be processed.

1. Activate services, run setup, get users and authorizations in your subaccount and S/4HANA System

BTP Cockpit Trial Account

2. Setup a Cloud Connector between the subaccount and the S/4HANA systems

Cloud Connector Administration

Service Keys Process Visibility

3. Get the service keys and endpoints from Process Visibility Capability

4.Export & Import certificates from Process Visibility Capability in
SAP S/4HANA

For Export use URL: https://bpmpvruntime.cfapps.sap.hana.ondemand.com/pv-service/rest/health;

Right Click on Lock in Google Chrome and go to Certificate.

Export Certficate for PV

5. Import in S/4HANA with Transaction: STRUST

6. Create and configure integration in
SAP S/4HANA Implementation Guide

Path: SAP Netweaver – Application Server – Business Management – SAP Busines Technology Platform Integration*

* Check for new path name ABAP Platform from S/4HANA 2021 onwards

Configuration in SIMG

7. Maintain the destination to

8. Create a process visibility scenario and add your SAP Business Workflow as process participant to achieve end-to-end process visibility.

Discover business workflow definitions to get the relevant process steps, events and context information

This is an overview with a demo scenario to test the technical integration. I will probably come up with details for some of the steps. Any questions? Let me know!
