Administration tab: BPEL process editor

This topic includes a description of each of the fields on the Administration tab of the Properties view.


Process level

Use the settings on this page to configure the administrative settings either for the process as a whole, or as default settings for the activities within that process. These administrative duties include the terminating, suspending, resuming, or deleting a process instance, or dealing with faults that may arise on the activity level.

An administration task for the process

Use this task to define the group of people that will have administrative rights in for the process as a whole.

A default activity administrative task.

This task would define the default administration settings for all of the activities within that process.

For example, if an activity gets stuck during execution (perhaps a service call failed), the user will need administrative rights to recover the process instance. Although these administrative rights can be given for each activity individually, an activity that does not have an administrator attached will need to be able to fall back to this default administrative task.

If there is no existing human task associated, click New to launch the human task editor to configure one.

If there is a human task associated, then click Open to launch the human task editor to make any needed modifications to it, or click Remove to clear the association.


Invoke, Scope, and Snippet activities

Use the settings on this page to configure the administrative settings for an invoke, scope, or snippet activity. With the invoke activity, these administrative duties include the authority to handle faults that may arise, or to force retry or force complete long-running activities.

For the scope activity, these administrative duties include the authority to modify, at run time, the sequence of the activities nested within the scope activity. An alternative way to create a business process logic that allows the user to change the order of activities is to use a collaboration scope. See related links for more information on case handling support and enhanced dynamic behavior.

If there is no existing human task associated, click New to launch the human task editor to configure one. If there is a human task associated, then click Open to launch the human task editor to make any needed modifications to it, or click Remove to clear the association.

The human task that you associate with this activity will override the "default activity administrative task" setting for this BPEL process.
