Interfaces point to the operations that the state machine accepts
and responds to. References define the interfaces that the state machine uses
to invoke other components.
To create an interface or a reference in your state machine, proceed
as follows:
- In the tray, click the plus icon (
) to the right of Interfaces. You can create a Reference by clicking the icon to the right of References.
- In the Add Interface wizard, browse to the appropriate interface
or reference or click New to create one. If
you chose to create a new interface, you will then have to create the necessary
request/response operations. To do this, double click the interface in the
Business Integration view to edit it in the interface editor.
- When you are done, the newly created interface or reference will
appear in the tray. To view the operations associated with it,
click the gray triangle to expand or collapse it.
You have successfully added an interface or a reference.
