Adding Alerts to a Modeling Element

Java CAPS allows you to initiate alert entries from a Business Process element. You can define the following types of alerts (from most to least severe): critical, major, minor, warning, and information. The alert nodes take a Boolean data type, but you can specify that the data types be automatically converted when you define the mapping.

To add an alert to a modeling element

1. Open the Business Process containing the element to which you want to add an alert entry.

2. In the Business Process Designer, select the element.

3. In the Business Process Designer toolbar, click Property Sheet.

   The properties for the element appear to the right of the Business Process.

4. Click in the Alert Properties field, and then click the ellipsis (...).

   The Specify Alerts dialog box appears.

5. Define the alert using the available methods.

6. When you are finished defining the alert, click OK.
