Chapter 4 Building Business Process Diagrams

Operations (BPM)

An operation is an object contained by a service interface, and which comprises input and output elements defined in terms of messages or message parts.

An operation can be created in the following diagrams with any orchestration languages:

Process Service Diagram

For more information, see Service Providers (BPM).

An operation belongs to a service interface, and allows you to describe the implementation of an atomic process (also called activity). It can be sent or received by an activity (see Example: Using the Execute operation implementation type).

The Dependencies tab of the operation property sheet allows you to visualize all the processes implemented by the current operation.

Shortcuts for operations are not permitted.
