Assigning the System Participant to the Database Service Task

Procedure

  1. Select the service task that you want to use to call the database.
  2. Click the General tab of the Properties view.
  3. Click the picker to the right of the Participants field. The Select Participants dialog is displayed.
  4. Select the appropriate system participant, then click Add to add it to the Selection list.
  5. Click OK. The selected participant is displayed in the Participants field.

Result

Note: Alternatively, you can drag and drop a system participant from Project Explorer onto the database service task. If the task already has participants, a context menu is displayed - select Set Task Participant(s) to replace the existing participant list with the new participant.

If a process contains multiple database service tasks that each connect to the same database, they can all use the same system participant.
