Building and Deploying the Business Process ModelLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

Context

Building and deploying the process is the final step before process execution. When building the process, you build the development component (DC) that contains your project. After that you deploy the built DC on a runtime engine.

Note

This document only explains how to build and deploy a process but the process modeled in the steps before cannot be built and deployed. The tutorial focuses on the modeling part only and does not cover the whole lifecycle of a process from modeling to execution.

Procedure


  1. In the Developer Studio, choose Start of the navigation path Window Next navigation step Open Perspective Next navigation step Other... Next navigation step Process Development End of the navigation path and choose the OK pushbutton.

  2. In the Project Explorer view, select the DC in which you have created your glx project.

  3. In the context menu of the DC, choose Start of the navigation path Development Component Next navigation step Build... End of the navigation path.

    A dialog box appears.

  4. Select the DC you want to build and choose the OK pushbutton.

  5. In the context menu of the built DC, choose Start of the navigation path Development Component Next navigation step Deploy... End of the navigation path.

    A dialog box appears.

  6. Select the DC you want to deploy and choose the OK pushbutton.

  7. Log on to the AS Java with your credentials, if prompted, to start deploying.

Results

As a result of completing this tutorial, you have modeled an end-to-end process in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio .

You started with getting to know the business process model scenario, which was preliminary defined. Next you used the Developer Studio to model the process using the flow objects and connections specified in the BPMN. After that, you defined the business logic needed to make your process work by assigning services and tasks to your model flow objects. Finally, you built and deployed your business process model to put it into practice.
