Business Process Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a business process property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Business Processes folder.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.

Code

Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts.

Comment

Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can enter stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition.

Source model

Specifies the Business Process Model (BPM) that defines the business process. You choose the model from the list of BPMs open in the workspace.

You have access to the following BPM-specific commands from the business process contextual menu:


  • Generate Business Language – to generate objects from a BPM.

  • Reverse Engineer Business Language – to reverse engineer a business process language file into a BPM.

You can open the BPM associated with a business process by right-clicking its symbol, and select Open Model.
