Chapter 6 Building an Executable BPM: Working with Service Description Objects

Creating an operation using the Create New Operation Wizard

You can create an operation using the Create New Operation Wizard available from a process property sheet.

When proceeding to the implementation of an atomic process (activity), you may need to create the required implementation operation directly from this context.

For more information about the implementation of atomic processes using operations, see section Execute operation activity in chapter Building an executable BPM: Managing Data and Orchestration.

Steps To create an operation using the Create New Operation Wizard:

  1. Open a process property sheet.
  2. Click the Implementation tab.
  3. Select Execute Operation from the Type list.

    The layout of the property sheet changes accordingly.
  4. Click the Create tool beside the Implemented by list.

  7. Click the Next button.

    The second page of the Create New Operation Wizard opens.
  8. Select the Select an Existing Service Interface radio button to select from the list an existing service interface that belongs to the service provider you have selected.
