If an activity is found to be incomplete or incorrectly configured, it will be decorated with an error icon (red circle with an X) as for example the Assign activity below:įorEach is a looping activity that executes the activities contained in its Scope a specified number of times. The BPEL Designer will validate your business process every time it is saved. Outline: This panel provides a structural view of the BPEL process. Property Sheet: When an activity is selected in the drawing canvas, its properties are displayed in the tabbed Properties sheet. Palette: The primary editing, creation and viewing tools of the BPEL Designer are accessed from the tool Palette.ĭashboard: Provides an overview of the BPEL process. The default layout of activities is top-to-bottom, but can be changed to horizontal layout from the context menu. Any changes made in one view are immediately reflected in the other. The Source tab displays the XML (text) representation of the process. To finish editing, simply press the ENTER key or change focus by clicking on a different window control. The primary mouse click action (default is left mouse button) on any of the activity names activates an in-line editor, allowing you to edit the process name. The following figure shows the detail tab of an Assign activity which has an XPath expression as the source ( From) and a process variable element as the target ( To):ĭrawing Canvas: This contains the graphical representation of the BPEL process and is displayed when the Design tab at the bottom of the editor window is selected. Keep Source Element Name checkbox when enabled, the complex target variable element names will not be replaced by the source element names if they differ. Ignore Missing Source Data checkbox When enabled, missing source data is not considered an error (no fault will be generated). If an error is detected it will cause a fault, which can be caught by a fault handler in the BPEL process. Validate checkbox when enabled will cause the BPEL engine to validate the data after the assignment. These allow you to select the source and categories for target items. When clicked, the From and To combo boxes become active and display Variable. The New button adds a new assignment operation to the list.

The wizard will populate all of these fields with appropriate default values based on the information provided on the previous page. The second page of the wizard defines the process interface (WSDL file) including the web service address, port definition and protocol. Specified processes that are not intended to be executed.
