ActiveBPEL® Designer User’s Guide
The Process Editor consists of a canvas and palette for creating a visual representation of a BPEL process. When you create a BPEL file, as described in Starting a New Process, the file opens in the Process Activities tab of the editor, and you have a blank canvas on which to create a process.
The following illustration shows the parts of the Process Editor.

|
1 |
Palette. Select activities, containers, and links to create a process definition. Select Operation Wizard to create a receive, invoke or receive/reply activity that does not yet have an associated Web Reference. Annotate your process with drawing labels and shapes. Create custom activities to re-use in other processes. |
|
2 |
Tabs. Select a tab to design a specific component of a process on its own page or to view the generated XML code in the Source tab. You can print the contents of each page. |
|
3 |
Canvas. Drag palette items to the canvas. Set visual properties for the items and the canvas. |
