Late binding using a partner link extension

When you late bind one process to another one, the connection is resolved dynamically in the runtime environment. As such, the calling process will always pick up the currently valid version of the process that it is invoking.

These instructions assume that you have already created a process that is the caller and another process that is being invoked (in this example, we will simply call the process that is being invoked Invoked.
  1. Open the caller process in the process editor.
  2. Create a new Reference Partner in the caller process.
  3. In the Description tab for this Reference Partner, enter the component name Invoked in the Process Template field as shown in this image.

This will late bind the caller process to the invoked process. It will also likely cause a CWSCA8015W warning that you can safely ignore since this target will by dynamically selected in the runtime environment.
