ActiveBPEL® Designer User’s Guide

Starting a New Process

Ensure that at least one project is displayed in the Navigator before creating a new BPEL process. For details, see Creating Projects and Folders.

To begin a new process:

  1. Select File>New>BPEL Process.
  2. Select your project folder, and in the File name field, type in a name for your BPEL file. The .bpel extension is automatically added.
  3. Select Advanced to view properties that you can set for this process. The default values (for the check box properties) are shown and can be set for all processes in ActiveBPEL Preferences. In addition, you can set the process name, target namespace and other properties for this process later. See Process Element and Properties for more information.
  4. Click Finish.

Your BPEL file opens on the Process Activities tab of the Process Editor.
