✅ How to Check for BPM Capability in ESR
🔎 Step 1: Open ESR (Enterprise Services Repository)
1. Open the Enterprise Services Builder (ESR) from your SAP PI/PO system.
2. Expand the Software Component Version (SWCV) tree.
3. Look for any components related to:
Process Components
or structures named like:
Process Component Model
Process Integration Scenario
Abstract Interface related to processes
🔎 Step 2: Check for Process Integration Patterns
If you see options to define a Process Component or model Process Integration
Scenarios, and use "Process Component View" in modeling — it’s a strong sign BPM
is enabled.

🔎 Step 3: Check if Operation Mappings or Message Interfaces are Marked for
Processes
Look for any artifacts that are labeled with:
Abstract Interface (used in BPM)
Interface Pattern: Stateless/Stateful
Process Orchestration specific indicators
🔥 If You Don’t See Any of This:
It likely means BPM is not active in your system or not licensed/deployed.
✅ 100% Confirmation Needs NWA
For definitive confirmation, still best to:
Check NWA as explained earlier ( com.sap.bpm.* components).
Or run this diagnostic URL (replace host:port ):
http://<host>:<port>/bpm/workflow
If that URL works and opens a workflow inbox, BPM is running.

Want to share a screenshot of what you see in ESR? I can help confirm.
ok no bpm
Got it — no BPM available. So to implement a delay before one of your receivers gets the
message, here are your best options in a non-BPM SAP PI/PO setup:
✅ Goal Recap
You want:
1 sender
2 receivers
Delay message going to Receiver B by ~10 seconds.
🔁 Recommended Workaround: Split + Async Delay Flow
🧩 Architecture:
Sender

ICO 1 → Receiver A (immediate)
→ Receiver B (via file/JMS + delay mechanism)
🛠️ Implementation Options for Receiver B
✅ Option 1: Intermediate File System + Scheduled Polling
1. Route message for Receiver B to a file receiver.
2. In a second file sender adapter, poll this file directory with a delay (e.g., polling
interval = 10 seconds).
3. Send the message to Receiver B.
✅ Simple
✅ No coding
⚠️ Slight delay control inaccuracy (polling interval-based)
✅ Option 2: JMS Queue + Delayed Trigger
1. Message for Receiver B goes to a JMS receiver channel.
2. Use a JMS sender channel configured with Scheduled Polling or trigger rules (e.g.,
with delay).
3. Then forward it to Receiver B.

✅ More controlled than file
✅ Good for async messaging
⚠️ Needs JMS setup and configuration
🚫 Avoid: Thread.sleep() in Mapping or UDF
As discussed earlier, this will block threads and can harm system performance.
Only okay for temporary PoC with extremely low volume.
✅ Recommended: File-Based Delay (if you want easiest setup)
ICO 1:
Sender → Message Split (2 receivers)
Receiver A → direct
Receiver B → File Receiver Channel (e.g., /tmp/hold/ )
ICO 2:
File Sender Channel (from /tmp/hold/ , polling every 10s)
→ Receiver B
