Designing a Business Process

Use the business process canvas and tool palette to graphically design a business process service.

Design Tips

Open the Outline view to display a tree view or a thumbnail sketch of the structural elements of the business process service.
See Viewing Business Process Design Elements Using the Outline View for more information.
If a service invocation throws a fault, a double-arrow icon with a red X decorates the service icon in the upper-left corner.

Create a business process service.
Select the Business Process tab in the service editor to display the business process canvas.
