Modify the type of an activity

As you construct your BPEL process you may decide that a specific activity should be of a different type than you initially assigned.

To change an activity from one type to another, proceed as follows:

Procedure

1. Right-click the activity and select Change Type from the menu.
2. Follow the secondary menu, and select the required type.

Results

You have successfully changed the type of activity.

Even those properties that could theoretically be shared between the old activity and the new one, such as variables, will NOT be preserved after the changeType action.
