Targets Tab

2.39 Targets Tab

Use to create a target link for synchronizing the execution of activities within a flow activity to ensure that certain activities only execute after other activities have completed.

For example, assume you have an invoke activity that is executed in parallel with other invoke activities when the flow activity begins. However, one target activity (scheduling a flight) only requires execution if a source activity (verifying that a flight is available) has executed. Therefore, you add a link between the two invoke activities. Links provide a level of dependency indicating that the activity that is the target of the link is only executed if the activity that is the source of the link has completed.

For more information about targets and sources, see the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Specification (for BPEL 1.1) or the Web Services Business Process Execution Language Version 2.0 Specification at http://www.oasis-open.org.
