Step 1: Define Shared Resources

Shared resources allow activities to share information. For example, you can define a JDBC Connection resource, then use it in any of the JDBC activities in your business process.

You may also choose to define the process and create shared resources as needed.

Shared resources are available in some palettes and include Rendezvous Transport, JDBC Connection, JMS Connection, and so on.

To define a shared resource, follow these steps:

1.	In the palette panel, select the palette that contains the shared configuration resource. For example, the JMS palette contains two shared configuration resources, JMS Connection and JMS Application Properties.

2.	Drag and drop the icon for the resource you need from the palette panel to the design panel.

3.	Name the resource and specify its configuration information in the configuration panel, then click Apply.

You can now use the shared resource in any activity that requires it.

For example, the JMS Queue Receiver activity the example uses to connect to the application server requires a JMS Connection shared resource.
