Adding an interface or a reference to a business state machine

Interfaces point to the operations that the business state machine accepts and responds to. References define the interfaces that the business state machine uses to invoke other components.

About this task

To create an interface or a reference in your business state machine, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. In the tray, click the plus icon (The plus symbol) to the right of Interfaces. You can create a Reference by clicking the icon to the right of References.
  2. In the Add Interface wizard, browse to the appropriate interface or reference or click New to create one. If you chose to create a new interface, you will then have to create the necessary request/response operations. To do this, double-click the interface in the Business Integration view to edit it in the interface editor.
  3. When you are done, the newly created interface or reference will appear in the tray. To view the operations associated with it, click the gray triangle to expand or collapse it.
