Navigational Tree

Use this frame to navigate between the different options the console offers, which are based on the user profile and the user-application context.

Click either on the  /  signs, or on the desired labels to expand/retract a branch.

For a terminal node, the Core Frame then presents the corresponding information.

Header Frame

By default, this frame displays the title and icon of the Process Console. The console administrator may customize the content of this frame by displaying the content of a configured URL.

Navigational path

This frame displays the name of the user logged in, a  button to refresh the header, core and footer frames, and a  button to exit the console. It also displays the path corresponding to the actual information shown in the Core Frame.

Core Frame

This is the main frame of the console. A navigational path showing the tree structure of the information displayed along with the actual information is available. Different tabs may be accessed in this zone, and all information entered will be displayed within it.

Footer Frame

By default this frame is not displayed. The console administrator may configure this frame to display the content of a configured URL.

Figure 31.    Import Files Frame for Adding a New Process Model

 

To specify a BPEL process the console must be given 1)a BPEL file describing the process, 2) a WSDL file describing the interfaces of the process, and 3) a WSDL file (or a set thereof) for each Web Service called within the process.

·           Use the “Browse” button to specify a BPEL and WSDL file as required.

·           Use the “Browse” button to specify an external WSDL file. To import more than one external WSDL file, click the “Add” button to browse and import additional files. Once specified, these files are listed under the “External wsdl file” line (at the right of the “Add” button) and can be deleted as desired before clicking on the “Import” button.

·           Click the “Import” button at the bottom of the form to import the BPEL process definition into the BPEL engine.

Note:   At least one BPEL file and one WSDL file are required in order to import a process.


3.2                       How To Delete Process Models

Select the following path in the Navigational Tree (Left Panel): Conceptor Process management Process models.

The “Process models” list is displayed in the core panel with the following information:

·           Name: the name of the imported process model.

·           State: the state of the process model (INITIAL, DEPLOYED, TODEPLOY).

·           Creator: the login name of the conceptor who imported the process files into the workflow engine.

·           The last column of the table, named “Action”, contains a “Delete” link for each process in the list.

Click this “Delete” link to delete the process (this operation will be successful if no instance of this process is still in running state).
