Building a collaboration template
This chapter describes how to create and modify a collaboration
template definition. You must perform the following tasks:
- Create the template definition. See Creating a collaboration template for more information.
- Provide information about the template's properties.
See Providing template property information for more
information.
- Define a scenario. See Defining scenarios for more information.
- Create an activity diagram for the scenario you defined. See Creating an activity diagram for general information,
and then refer to Using activity diagrams for
detailed instructions.
- Define additional scenarios as needed, and create the associated
activity diagrams.
- Create a message file for the template. See Creating the message file for more information.
- Compile the collaboration template. See Compiling a collaboration template for more information.
- Optionally, test the collaboration. You can use the Test Connector
in the Integrated Testing Environment to verify that your collaboration
works as planned. See Testing a collaboration for
more information.
If you have a template that was created with a previous version
of Process Designer Express, you can convert that template
into the format required by version 4.2. For conversion instructions,
see Converting templates.
