Including Master Index Methods in a Business Process

You can process data through a Collaboration, a Business Process, or both. If you are processing data by both methods, be sure the processing logic is the same for both. Before including the master index application in the Connectivity Map for the Business Process client project, you need to add master index methods to a Business Process. For more information about the available methods, see theChapter 4, Working with the Master Index Java API (Repository), in Understanding Sun Master Index Processing (Repository) .

To Include Master Index Methods in a Business Process

1. Plan and design a new Business Process.

2. In the NetBeans Projects window, right-click the name of the Business Process client project, point to New, and then select Business Process.

3. Enter a new name for the Business Process and then press Enter.

4. In the Business Process Designer, create the components of the Business Process.

5. For each master index method to include, do the following:

   1. In the master index server project, expand the method OTD folder to display the method list.

   2. Drag the method you want to use into the Business Process Designer.

      Note –

      The method OTD is the node in the master index server project with the same name as the master index application.
