Process Controller
Use
The process controller is a framework with which you can de ne your own strategies and methods and the way in which the
system executes speci c processes. It allows you to de ne adaptive processes that make it possible for a user to exclude
delivered functionality or include new functionality.
In the process controller, you model a process as a strategy. A strategy de nes how the system executes a speci c service, for
example the determination of geocoordinates, to suit your business need.
Example
You want to determine geocoordinates using a speci c geocoding provider. You use the strategy GC_GIS1.
In the standard system, SAP delivers a number of different strategies that you can use for your various services. The strategy
itself is made up of a sequence of methods. The methods de ne the individual process steps of the strategy. You must assign a
service to the strategy as well as to the methods. Different strategies can employ the same method. To change the behavior of
the methods that the strategies use, you can de ne parameters for a method and then assign them to it. For example, you can
use a parameter to de ne the number of expected results for a request. You must implement the logic within the method using
the parameter.
Caution
If you include a customer-speci c method in a strategy, the method must comply with the standard interfaces of the process
controller methods.
In SCM Basis, you can use the process controller to de ne the following strategies:
Geocoordinate determination strategies
Distance and duration determination strategies
Static route determination strategies
Prerequisites
In Customizing for SCM Basis under Process Controller, you have made the following settings:
You have de ned a service under De ne Service.
You have de ned a strategy under De ne Strategy.
You have de ned one or more methods under De ne Methods.
You have assigned the methods to a strategy under Assign Methods to a Strategy.
Note
The sequence in which you assign the methods to the strategy determines the sequence in which the system
processes the methods. Strategies and methods must have the same service. You can also assign one method to
multiple strategies.
To further adjust your strategy, you can de ne parameters under:

De ne Parameters
Assign Parameters to a Method
Assign Method Parameters to a Strategy
Note
The de nition and usage of parameters is optional. If you change a standard strategy we recommend you set the value of a
delivered standard parameter in Assign Method Parameters to a Strategy. If you de ne a new parameter, you must
implement the usage logic within the using method.
Activities
You set up the process controller in Customizing for SCM Basis under Process Controller.
If you have set up a new strategy, you must de ne for which process you use the strategy.
