Common operation properties

All service operations have General and Route Evaluation properties that you can configure. The information is provided here instead of in each operation section in the reference.

    General

    General properties describe the operation.

    Name

    The name of the operation is used to identify the operation in several contexts:

    • Identifies the operation on the process diagram. Names that are appropriate for the context that the operation is used in make the information on the process diagram easy to understand.

    • Identifies the operation in Administration Console when administrators are viewing process status information at run time.

    • Identifies the operation on Business Activity Monitoring (BAM Dashboard) when users are analyzing run-time process data.

    Route Evaluation

    The order in which the routes that follow the operation are evaluated. Configure route evaluation only when multiple routes follow the operation. The route at the top of the list is evaluated first. The process follows the first route that is evaluated as valid.
