Configuring a Process

Process configuration defines the behavior of a process at runtime. You can specify (or edit) the modifiers, mode, and activation type for a process. You can also define process properties and process variables, add or remove services and references, and configure the process dependencies.

• Configure the general properties for a process by selecting the General tab on the Properties view.

  Property Name	Description
  Package	Displays the name of the package containing the package. This field is not editable.
  Name	Name of the process. This field is not editable.
  Target Namespace	Target namespace for the process. You can specify a different target namespace for the process.
  Modifiers	Modifiers define the visibility of the process outside its package: Public: can be invoked by processes that are defined either inside or outside the package. Private: can be invoked only by processes that are part of the same package.
  Namespace Registry	Namespaces and prefixes can be configured at the Process level. Click the Configure namespace registry link field from the Advance tab of the Process configuration to view, add, change or delete prefixes for namespaces used in the input bindings of the activities in the process definition. Process namespace registry applies to the current process. Namespaces and prefixes can also be configured at the Module level. To add a new prefix for a namespace or to change the current namespaces and prefix configurations, from the Module Descriptors > Overview getting started area, click the Configure namespace registry link. Module namespace registry applies to all the processes in the module. Note: If you have defined both, Process level and Module level configurations for a namespace, the Process level registry takes precedence over the Module namespace registry. When namespace registry is applied, prefixes in the activity input bindings are updated using the prefixes defined in the namespace registry where the namespaces are referred to. A list of namespaces and their prefixes is automatically populated when an input or output binding is created or modified. This list is populated at the Process level or at the Module level, depending on the preference set at Windows > Preferences> BusinessWorks > Namespace Registry.
