After you have designed the process flow, the next step while creating a process flow is to attach the activities with BPMN elements.

Prerequisites

Ensure that Adeptia Server activities must be created before attaching them with BPMN elements in the process flow.

To attach Adeptia Server activities with BPMN elements:

  1. In the Process Designer, expand Repository View panel. All the items in the Server Entities category are displayed.

     

  2. Further expand the type of activities - Human Workflow, Schema, Source, and so on until you find the required activity.

     

  3. Select the required activity, drag it to the Graph Canvas, and drop it on the BPMN element with which you want to attach the activity. A small image of the activity is displayed at the top left corner of the BPMN element.

    An activity can also be attached by right-clicking the BPMN element and select Attach Server Entity. List of activities is displayed. Select the required activity and click Ok.

    If you attach an activity to a blank BPMN element then the activity name is displayed in the BPMN element.




  4. Repeat the steps to attach activities to other BPMN elements.

  5. To view or edit the properties of the Adeptia Server activity attached with BPMN elements, right-click the activity and then select View Properties. The properties of the attached activity are displayed in the Properties Panel.

     

    If the mapping is used in a process flow, following things must be checked:

    • Right-click the source schema activity and select View Properties. Check the value of the Transformer property. It must be Stream 2XMLStream.

    • Right-click the target schema activity and select View Properties. Check the value of the Transformer property. It must be XMLStream2Stream.

    If you want to save the process flow on the Adeptia Server then click File > Save to Adeptia Server. This displays a screen confirming that the process flow has been created successfully.

    If you want to save the process flow on your local hard disk then click File > Save Process Flow Locally.
