Chapter 6 Building an Executable BPM: Working with Service Description Objects
A message format defines the format of a piece of information exchanged between business processes. The format depends on the nature of the exchanged piece of information and allows objects to find an agreement to communicate.
The global definition of the message format in an executable BPM is mainly the same as in other BPM views (Analysis and Collaborative). However some behaviors are added or modified, in order to fully support the executable BPM. Only those specific behaviors are described in the following sections.
For more information about the global definition of the message format, see section Defining message formats in chapter Building an Analysis Business Process Model.
Associating a message format with a flow
It is not possible to associate a message format with a flow, as the exchange of information is no longer managed by flows in an executable BPM.
