Business Processes

A business process is a particular service implemented by the orchestration of other services including several activities linked by a graph. This graph defines the choreography of the Process. The business process may have fault, compensation, and timeout handlers that are not linked to the main choreography.

You design each business process with a business process model in PowerDesigner.

To design a business process with event handlers you have to:

Create a composite process
Attach event handlers to the composite process
Define the main choreography in the sub-diagram of the composite process
