Reverse Engineering Source Files into a BPM

Reverse engineering is the process of examining and recovering source code from a file that is then used to build or update a BPM.

You can reverse engineer objects to a new model, or to an existing model. When you reverse engineer an object which already exists in a model, you use an object comparison box to choose either to replace the existing object, or to keep the existing object in the model.

You can reverse the following types of files into a BPM:

Types of file you can reverse Subfamily Family
ebXML BPSS 1.01 and 1.04 (Business Process Specification Schema) ebXML Collaborative
BPEL, WSDL BPEL4WS
WS-BPEL
Service Orchestration

Options tab

The reverse engineering dialog box may include an Options tab. This is the case when you reverse engineer BPEL4WS or WS-BPEL objects into a BPM. For more information, see the Working with BPEL4WS chapter and the Working with WS-BPEL chapter.
