Chapter 2 Getting Started with the Business Process Model


Reverse engineer BPEL4WS files from other applications use case

BPEL4WS is a standard format commonly used in the market. You can recover BPEL4WS code into a new business process model using the reverse engineer feature. The resulting BPEL4WS model can then be generated into another BPM for a specific process engine like Sybase Unwired Orchestrator for example.

Reverse engineer BPEL4WS files

You reverse engineer BPEL4WS files into a new BPM for BPEL4WS. Select File→Reverse Engineer→Process Language. The processes are created into the model and displayed in the diagram.

For more information, see "Reverse Engineering BPEL4WS" in the "Working with BPEL4WS" chapter.

View Web services

Once the Web services are retrieved, you may want to have a global and graphical view of them all. To do so you have to create a process service diagram and drag the retrieved service providers from the Browser to drop them in the process service diagram window. You can then design their dependencies if any using extended dependencies and publish a report on this diagram using the Report Creation Wizard from the Report menu.

For more information, see the Building a Process Service Diagram chapter.

Change target language

You use the Change Current Process Language feature and select an executable language in the list. This feature is equivalent to a model to model generation, except for the source model that is not preserved. This feature automatically replaces the content of you current model by performing the appropriate transformations on the whole model to make it compliant with the target executable process language.

For more information, see Changing the process language of a BPM.

The next steps are identical to those described in the previous section, you have to:
