Create an Event Process Flow in the Process Modeller

Use the Activities in the PMF Canvas to create an Event Workflow and execute it so that the process of communication of data between the Producers (external applications or PMF internal processes) and consumers (PMF internal processes) is established and the events are triggered from the PMF Canvas. Configure to execute each task independently as events in the process flow.

To create an Event Process Flow, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the OFSAA Application.
2. Click Applications from the Header to display the applications in the Tiles menu.
3. Select an Application. For example, Financial Services Enterprise Modeling. The Navigation Tree displays a menu.
4. Click Common Tasks.

   Note:

   The navigation path to access the Process Modelling Framework window can vary in applications based on the Menu Tree configuration.
5. Select Process Modelling Framework to display a submenu.
6. Select Process Modeller from the submenu to display the Process Modeller window.
7. Click the Add icon in the window to display the Process Details drawer window.

8. In the Process Details drawer window, enter the required details as follows:
   1. Enter a name in the Process Name field. The Process ID field is created by the application and is read-only.
   2. Enter a description for the process in the Process Description field.
   3. Select Platform from the App Package ID drop-down.
   4. Select Platform from the App Package ID drop-down.
   5. Select Platform from the App Package ID drop-down.
   6. Select Workflow Pipeline from the Type drop-down.
   7. Do not select any value from Registered Topics as it does not apply to an event process.
   8. Do not select any value from Spark DB as it does not apply to an event process.
   9. Select the required Infodom from the Infodom drop-down.
   10. Enter any appropriate tags in the Tag field. This field is optional.
   11. Select the required application segment from the Segment drop-down.
9. After entering the details, click the Accept icon to save it. The Process Flow is created and is displayed in the PMF Canvas. By default, a job of the type START is created on the Canvas.
10. Drag and drop the required activities from the Activity menu into the Canvas to construct the Process Flow.
11. Drag and drop the Event Producer and Event Consumer activities into the Canvas.
12. Click the Save icon to save the process definition.
    The following illustration provides a simple example of the Event Process Flow with Producer and Consumer activities displayed on the Canvas. For more information about configuring Consumers and Producers, see the Configure an Event Consumer and Configure an Event Producer sections.
