Creating a Connection Between Selected
Actions 
Use
You have the option of creating a connection between two actions.
There are three different types of connection:
· Sequence: Defines a connection between two subsequent actions in the same application component.
· Synchronous connection: Defines the synchronous exchange of messages between two actions from different application components.
· Asynchronous connection: Defines the asynchronous exchange of messages between two actions from different application components.
Prerequisites
You have opened a Business Scenario. The Business Scenario contains at least two actions.
There are three different situations where you require a connection between two actions. Each situation requires you to implement a particular connection type:
· To connect two subsequent actions within the same application component, you must define a sequence connection.
· To connect two actions from different application components that communicate with each other synchronously, you must define a synchronous connection. Both actions must be on the same level in the Business Scenario graphic.
· To connect two actions from different application components that communicate with each other asynchronously, you must define an asynchronous connection. The target action must be on a lower level than the source action in the Business Scenario graphic.
Procedure
...
1. Select both actions in the graphical work area of the Business Scenario editor.
2. Choose Create Connection Between Selected Actions from the context menu.
The system displays the Display or Change Connection editor. Make any additional specifications about the connection here.
From action, to action, and connection type are taken from the selected actions.
For more information, see the Display/Change Connection section in this documentation.
3. Choose OK to confirm.
Result
A connection is inserted between the two actions and is shown as a polygon in the graphical work area.
