Creating Connections Between Selected ActionsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have opened a Process Integration scenario. The Process Integration scenario contains at least two actions.

The following three situations are possible for defining a connection between two actions - with one specific connection type resulting from each.

  • If both actions follow each other directly in the same application component, then you can define a Sequence between both of those actions.

  • If both actions belong to different application components and communicate synchronously with each other, then you can define a Synchronous Connection . In this case, both actions have to be at the same level in the Process Integratio scenario graphic.

  • If both actions belong to different application components and communicate asynchronously with each other, then you can define a Asynchronous Connection . The follow-on action must be one level deeper than the source action for this.

Context

You can create a Connection between two actions.

Procedure


  1. Select both actions in the graphical work area of the Process Integration Scenario Editor .

  2. In the context menu, choose Create Connection between Selected Actions .

    The Display/Edit Connections editor appears. You can make further entries here.

    Note

    The From-action (that the action comes from), the after-action (that the action leads to), and the type of connection result from the selected actions.

    For more information, see Editing/Displaying Connections Between Selected Actions .

  3. Choose Copy .

Results

A connection is added between both actoins and displayed as a polygon in the Process Integration scenario graphic.
