Creating a Custom Activity

You can save any activity or set of activities from a BPEL file as a custom activity. You can shorten design time by reusing the custom activity in other BPEL files.

To create a custom activity:

  1. Select one or more activities or containers on the Process Editor canvas.
  2. Right-mouse click and select Add to Palette.
  3. The Custom palette appears, if it was previously empty. The selection is added to the Custom palette as Custom1.

  4. Right-click the custom icon and select Customize.
  5. Rename the custom icon by typing in the Name field.
  6. Click OK.
