Using the BPEL Designer and Service Engine

Adding an On Alarm branch

  1. Right-click the Pick element and choose Add -> On Alarm from the pop-up menu.

  2. Configure the timer via the Properties window, invoked by right-clicking the element and choosing Properties. The available options are:

    • Alarm Type: Specifies the type of alarm. The type can be one of the following:

      • For: Specifies a duration for the process to wait.

      • Until: Specifies a deadline for the process.

    • For/Until: Used to configure the deadline or the duration for the chosen alarm type. Click the ellipsis button (...) to specify the time. You can also use the BPEL Mapper.

    • Documentation: User documentation attached to the element. This documentation is included with the source code of the BPEL process and can be extracted and included in a report.

  3. Find the activity you want executed after the time expires, and drag it from the Palette to the placeholder inside the On Alarm element.

  4. (Optional) Add one or more On Alarm branches as described above.
