Process Activities and Elements

You can use several BPML activities and elements when creating business process models.

Input and Output Elements
The input element accepts a message delivered to the process. The output element constructs a message delivered by the process to a participant. Each has a specific syntax.
Assign Activity
The assign element performs assignment and is a process activity. When using assign elements in an operation, you must know the appropriate service parameters, such as the map name that the translator needs.
Repeat Activity
The repeat activity repeats a complex activity without recursion. It directs Sterling B2B Integrator to return to the beginning of a parent or child state, or to run an activity again.
Join and Spawn Activities
The join and spawn activities are used together. Use the join activity to wait for subprocesses to be merged. Use the spawn activity to start up a new process from within an existing process.
onFault Element
The onFault element is used to handle errors. You can include onFault elements in any complex activity. These onFault elements may be necessary to recover from faults so that the process can continue.
