Configuring a New Infrastructure Process Type

In order to configure a new process type, navigate using Admin > Implementation Tools > Infrastructure Process Type. Use the Infrastructure Process Step all-in-one portal to view existing process types.

CAUTION: Base product process type names start with “K1” and should not be change. Changing these process types can break the base product process types that are provided with the product.

The following points provide information about creating a new Infrastructure Process Type.

When creating a new process type, a business object has to be selected first. The Infrastructure Process Type BO contains information necessary for the Infrastructure Process that references that process type. You can use existing Infrastructure Process Type BOs or create new BOs according to your business requirements.

The Related Transaction BO references the Infrastructure Process BO. The process BO contains the business logic associated with the process. This includes the orchestration of the process steps. The process BO also contains information that is shared by step business logic during the process. For example, a process BO that handles migration of data between product environments can have a buffer that will hold the information pulled from the source environment using one step so that another step can use it to push that to the target environment. You can use existing Infrastructure Process BOs or create new BOs according to your business requirements.

The Process Type Steps section includes a collection of step types. The sequence of steps has to be unique and this will be sequence of execution.

CAUTION: When selecting step types for a process type you need to consider the fact that not all step types can be used on all process types. For example, some steps need to get or save information in the process itself so it can be used by other steps of that process. These types of steps can only work with a certain type of process. Please refer to the detailed description in each of the base product provided Infrastructure Process Step Types to see what process types they can be referenced on.

The Infrastructure Process Type Details section represents additional information that is required for the specific process type BO.
