Chapter 5. Hello World Process

In this chapter, we will continue the Hello World example and create an end to end business process to demonstrate the creation of a basic Hello World process.

5.1. Creating Business Process

To create a new business process definition, do the following:

  1. Display the Project Authoring perspective (Authoring → Project Authoring).
  2. In the Project Explorer view on the left, select the helloworld organizational unit, the helloworldrepo repository, and the HelloWorld project.

  3. On the perspective menu, click New Item → Business Process and define the process definition details:

    • Enter the name of the business process as HelloWorld.

    • Select the org.bpms.helloworld package. This defines the location in the artifact repository, where you will create your business process definition.

      Package Selection

      Make sure to select the package org.bpms.helloworld. Selection of an incorrect package causes the deployment to fail.

  4. Click Ok.

The Process Designer with the canvas of the created process definition opens.
