ActiveBPEL® Designer User’s Guide

Outline View

The Outline view displays all major components of a BPEL process, as shown.

The nodes in the outline synchronize with the Process Editor and the Properties view. For example, select an activity in the Process Activities node to display the highlighted activity on the Process Editor canvas.

Tips for using the Outline view:

• Right-mouse click on an item to add new items of the same type
• Re-order items by moving them up and down
• Re-order variables to re-order them in the Process Variables view
• Delete items you are not using
• Double-click variables and other components to open the main property, such as the Definition dialog

Note: Activities are added to the Outline in the order they are created, and the BPEL XML code reflects this order. You may find it helpful to re-order the Process Activities node in activity execution order. When the process runs on the server, the Administration Console Process Details page shows the same order as is displayed in the Outline view.
