Chapter 7. Process export and import

7.1. Creating a Process definition

Make sure you have logged in to JBoss BPM Suite or you are in JBoss Developer Studio with the repository connected.
To create a Process, do the following:
  1. Open the Project Authoring perspective (Authoring → Project Authoring).
  2. In Project Explorer (Project Authoring → Project Explorer), navigate to the project where you want to create the Process definition (in the Project view, select the respective repository and project in the drop-down lists; in the Repository view, navigate to REPOSITORY/PROJECT/src/main/resources/ directory).

    Note

    It is recommended to create your resources, including your Process definitions, in a package of a Project to allow importing of resources and their referencing. To create a package, do the following:
    • In the Repository view of the Project Explorer, navigate to the REPOSITORY/PROJECT/src/main/resources/ directory.
    • Go to New Item → Package.
    • In the New resource dialog, define the package name and check the location of the package in the repository.
  3. From the perspective menu, go to New Item → Business Process.
  4. In the New Processes dialog box, enter the Process name and click OK. Wait until the Process Editor with the Process diagram appears.
