Understanding the Process Package File Format

The TIBCO Business Studio package file uses the following schemas:

  • XPDL Version 2.1
  • XPDL Version 1.0 (Internally, for direct deployment to the TIBCO iProcess Engine)
  • Extensions schema - process-related XPDL extensions
  • Simulation schema - XPDL extensions to support the simulation of Processes
    Note: To import a file, only the correct XPDL and Extensions semantics are required; simulation is optional and default simulation parameters can be added by TIBCO Business Studio once the process has been imported.
  • Various extension schemas, each describing meta-data for one or more sub-types of service task.

This section describes the extensions and simulation schemas used by TIBCO Business Studio.
