Adding a message event to a BPD
Start building the sample integration by adding a message event to a business process definition (BPD).
To build a sample inbound integration, you can start by adding a message event to a simple BPD as described in the following steps.
Procedure
- Create a simple BPD that contains two activities like the one shown in the following image. (If you need detailed instructions, see Create a business process definition (BPD) .)
- Drag an Intermediate Event component from the palette onto the BPD diagram so that it falls between the two activities.
- In the text box that displays over the event, type a name for the event. For this sample, you can type: Incoming Message Event.
- Click the Implementation option in the properties. The default implementation for Intermediate Events that are included in the process flow is Message.
- If not already selected, click the drop-down list and choose Receiving from the available message types.
- Use the Sequence Flow tool to connect the BPD components as shown in the following example:
