Configuring a State

All state configurations are done using tabs in the Properties view for the state.

Procedure

  1. In the diagram, select the state you want to configure.
  2. In the Properties view, under the General tab, add a name and description as desired.
  3. Depending on the type of state also configure the following:
    • Start states and simple states can have an exit action; end states and simple states can have an entry action. In the Entry Action or Exit Action tab, as appropriate, use the TIBCO BusinessEvents rule language to define any actions that will be performed when the state machine enters or leaves the state.
    • All states except start, end, and Call State Model nodes can have a timeout. See Defining Timeouts for background details about timeouts for state models and individual states.

      See State Resource Reference for details on all state configuration options.

  4. In the Properties View, under the Extended tab, add (or remove) properties or groups of properties.
  5. Click Save.
