BPEL Processes
To create a BPEL process, you need:
- •An idea for an automated data exchange.
- •A business partner with data to exchange with you.
- •A flowchart type of plan that describes how you want to receive data, map data in assignments, invoke operations, and reply to your business partner.
- •WSDL files describing messages, operations, and properties that are referenced by the process.
- •WSDL definitions for each partner in the process that are in existence or that you’ll create for your process.
BPEL process planning topics are as follows:
- •Using Top-Down or Bottom-Up Process Design

- •Importing WSDL, Schema, and Other Resources
- •Declaring Extensions
