Exporting a Partner Link to an Abstract Process (deprecated)
As of Version 9.0 this feature is deprecated.
To help your partners implement the operations that interact with your service, you can provide your partners with a process definition that describes the operations. This process definition can be exported from a partner link in a process diagram.
To create a BPEL file containing partner link information:
- 1. Create a BPEL process with at least one completed activity based on a WSDL operation such as a receive, invoke, or the onMessage branch of a pick activity or onEvent handler.
- 2. From the Process menu, select Export Abstract Process.
- 3. Select Partner Links.
- 4. Select a partner link from the list.
- 5. In the Export Abstract Process dialog, select a location for the BPEL file that will be created.
- 6. Accept the default name or type in a new name for the BPEL file and if desired, enable the check box for Open file on export.
- 7. Click OK.
Process Developer creates a BPEL Process with the Abstract Process attribute set to yes. The file is listed in the Project Explorer.
