The following sections describes the Service step properties:

Property	Description
Step Type	The Service step.
Name	A descriptive name for the service.

Property	Description
Service Type	The connection, process, or system service you add to the process. Select from a list of existing tasks. You must have an existing item to add to a process. You cannot create a task in when you create a process.

When you add a service to a Service step, corresponding Input Fields are created.

Input Fields section shows the names of input fields that are most often used when using this kind of step. For Service steps that create objects, the input fields shown are the fields that are most frequently needed when the object is created. (If you do not need a field and it is optional, you can delete it.) You can choose additional (optional) input fields from the list.

Use the delete icon to remove a field. This removes input fields that you do not want to pass to the Service step. Some fields are required and cannot be deleted.

Fault handling in Process Designer is based on the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 specification, which defines the concept of a boundary event. The boundary events catch faults associated with specific steps, rather than the overall process scope. This means you can handle faults at the step level, not the process level. (Developers can also use Process Developer to define a fault handler on the process scope.)

Visibility of Faults in

Application Integration Console

When fault handling is enabled in a process, you can view the error marker on the step and some basic fault information in the

Application Integration Console

Processes list.

Use Timer Events to perform an action based on a schedule. You can specify whether you want the event to run

At specific time

or

After a delay

.

The following image shows a configured timer event:

Select

Interrupting

if you want the timer to interrupt the Service step. When you set an interrupting timer, the Service Step task is interrupted and the process only runs the task on the timer set
