Transforming to a BPEL model

When the business process model is complete, ActiveVOS Designer can assist in transforming the model into executable BPEL that can be deployed and run on the ActiveVOS Server. Once the model has been transformed, the ActiveVOS perspective can be used to assist in quickly identifying any providing any implementation details that may have been unknown at the time of modeling.

Before generating a BPEL orchestration model from a simulation model, it is advised to first use the Validate command to ensure that the simulation model (BPMN) is compliant and all properties are correctly filled.

To transform a BPMN model to a BPEL model

1. Select simulation model diagram in the editor.
2. On the Modeling menu, click Transform to BPEL.
3. In the Transform dialog, specify the destination folder (project), file name, target platform (BPEL 1.1 or BPEL 2.), BPEL skeleton vs. complete BPEL and the named process. The destination folder defaults to the same folder as the simulation model. Note that each participant (represented by a swimlane) has its own process and thus it is possible for a single simulation model model to have more than one process.
4. Click OK.
