Adding and deleting operations

You can add operations to the process diagram to implement or provide functionality for a step in the business process by dragging operations from the Services view. For example, you can drag the execute operation from the Decision Point service or the encryptPDFUsingPassword operation from the Encryption service to a process diagram.

You can provide a meaningful name and description for each operation you add to distinguish it from others. If the operation is involved in a user interface, the text you provide will be displayed.

You can delete an operation that is no longer required in your process diagram.

Note: When you delete an operation, all of its associated routes and attached events are also deleted.

To add an operation:

In the Services view, select the category and then select the service.
Drag the operation to a swimlane in the process diagram.
(Optional) In the Properties view, click the General category and provide a name and description:
- In the Name box, type a name for the operation.
- In the Description box, type text that describes the operation.
(Optional) In the Properties view, click various categories and specify values for the operation properties.

To delete an operation:

Right-click the operation and select Delete.
Tip: You can also click the Delete icon or press the Delete key to delete an operation.
