Interface BaseProcess

All Superinterfaces:

ActivityType, OWBNamedObject, ProcessActivityParameterOwner

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProcessFlow, SubProcess

public interface BaseProcess

extends ProcessActivityParameterOwner, ActivityType

A BaseProcess is the interface that defines the base functionality of all process interfaces namely ProcessFLow and SubProcess . The common functionality across all sub-interfaces are defined here, the common functions are listed below:

• Owns one or more ProcessActivityParameterOwner instances which collectively define the signature of this logical process.
• Owns one or more ProcessData instances to define the data store of variables that are needed while defining the process flow.
• Owns one or more Activity instances that define what warehouse process is being defined.
• Owns one or more Transition instances to capture all of the dependency information of the process.
