Description

Two Perspectives Approach

New

The process composer now consists of two perspectives which offer different views over one and the same process model, and enable different process modeling roles such as business analyst and process developer.

For more information, see Two Perspectives Approach.

The Palette in the two perspectives is now enhanced to include abstract flow objects.

Gateways

Unified UI

Enhanced

You have now the option of selecting Web Dynpro or Visual Composer UI technology when you assign a UI component to a task.

For more information, see Assigning a User Interface to a Task.

Adobe Offline Forms Usage

New

You have now the option of assigning an offline form as a UI component to a task in the process composer. When the task is triggered, the offline form is sent by e-mail to all potential owners of the task.

For more information, see Designing, Storing, and Assigning an Offline Form to a Task.

Generating UI Components for Tasks

New

You can generate tasks and UI components for the tasks using the process context, and thus model an executable process spending less time and effort.

For more information, see Generating Tasks and UI Components with UI Task Generation Template and Generating a UI Component for a Single Task.

RFC Consumption

New

You can import Remote Function Call (RFC) modules from ABAP back-end system.

For more information, see Importing RFC Modules.

Event Triggers

New

Creating event triggers enables you to model events more easily and quickly. You make the necessary settings once and then assign the trigger to more than one event in your process. The event trigger represents the endpoint of the process.

For more information, see Creating Reusable Event Triggers.

Task Sharing

New

You can activate this option in the task editor to allow the actual owner of a task to invite other contributors to work on the task instance.

For more information, see Defining Potential Owners.

Embedded Sub-Process

New

You can now model embedded sub-processes. An embedded sub-process is dependent on the parent process and cannot be executed standalone like the referenced sub-process. The embedded sub-process has a local process context of data objects, which is not visible to the parent and root processes.

For more information, see Modeling Embedded Sub-Processes.

Modeled Notifications

New

A notification is a specific type of activity that you model as a separate step in your process model. When the process flow reaches this step, an e-mail is sent to notify selected recipients that a specific event has happened or some activity has been completed in previous process steps.

For more information, see Modeling Notifications.

Modeling Multiple Parallel Instances of Activities

New

You can model multiple parallel instances of activities in the process composer, which allows you to execute a dynamic number of activity instances in parallel at runtime.

For more information, see Modeling Multi-Instance Loops of Activities.

Debugger

Enhanced

You now have the option of debugging new process instances that you can start from the Developer Studio.

For more information, see Debugging Processes.

Logical Destination

Removed

When you assign a service interface definition to an automated activity in the process, you can use only Service Groups to configure the Web service consumption.

For more information, see Modeling Automated Activities.
