6.2. Modeling business process

After you have created the Business Process definition, you can design the business process in the Business Process designer: The Business Process designer should be open in a tab on the right. If you closed the tab, in the Project Explorer, click HelloWorld under Business Processes to re-open the Business Process designer. Make sure you select the correct package (org.bpms.helloworld). To design the Process content, do the following:
  1. Expand the Object Library palette with Process Elements: click the double-arrow button ( ) in the upper left hand corner of the Business Process designer tab.
  2. A Start Event element appears on the canvas.
  3. Click the Start Event element: the quick linker items appear around the node. Click the Task ( ) icon to create an outgoing Sequence Flow and a Task element connected to the Start Event.
  4. Create a Timer Event: from the palette, drag-and-drop the Timer (under Catching Intermediate Events) and connect the Task to the Timer Element using the quick linker menu.
  5. Create the End Event element connected to the Timer Event element (either using the quick linker feature or dragging it from the palette).
