Naming a Workflow Process Step or a Process Property

The name that you use for a Workflow Process step or process property must be unique. You cannot use some symbols, such as the period (.), in the name of a process property.

If you add a new step, then the Workflow Designer populates the Name property of the step with a name and number combination that you can change. The step or connector type determines this name. For example:

  • Business Service 0 for a business service step

  • Siebel Operation 0 for a Siebel operation step

The number differentiates instances of the same type of step or connector that the Workflow Process contains. For example, Business Service 0 and Business Service 1. You should change this default name to something more meaningful to reflect the purpose of the step.
