Project Components

A brief description of projects and their components.

A Project follows the following hierarchy:
Project > Process Packages > Processes

Note: Before you can create a business process, you must create a Project and a Package.

Project

To define a process, you first need to create a Project to hold your process. Projects help facilitate sharing and organization of resources. Each Project has a corresponding directory in the file system (specified when you create the Project).

A Project contains Process packages and a process package contains processes.

Process Package

A project contains one or more process packages. Each package is an xpdl; each package contains - typically related - processes.

Each Process Definition (or each independent subflow) ships in a single package (xpdl file) with exactly two processes (main process and business logic).

Process

Processes are contained in a process package; each Process contains one or more Activities, which are linked together by transitions.
