Overview of Process Deployment Steps

The following illustration shows how you can take your BPEL process from design to deployment.

Illustration of deployment steps

  1. In ActiveVOS Designer, import WSDL or service references to your project as needed, create the BPEL file and the Process Deployment Descriptor (.pdd) file. See Creating a Process Deployment Descriptor File for details.
  2. Create a Partner Definition file to list often-used partners for multiple processes, if desired. See Creating a Partner Definition File for details.
  3. In ActiveVOS Designer, create the process deployment package (.bpr) file. See Creating a Business Process Archive File for details.
  4. During design and testing, export the .bpr file to the ActiveVOS server deploy folder. See Deploying Your Process to ActiveVOS Server for details.

Once the process is deployed, it becomes active when an initial receive activity (or pick or event) receives a message.
