Creating an Executable vs. an Abstract Process

Creating an Executable vs. an Abstract Process

In Process Developer, you can build two kinds of business processes:
  • An
    executable process
    contains all the actual message data, operations, and partner information required for a running process. It uses the full power of data assignment and selection. Process Developer creates executable processes by default. You can simulate, deploy, remote debug, and execute an executable process.

  • An
    abstract process
    is a business protocol description document that tells your business partners what a process will look like when it runs. It outlines the steps of a process without actually filling in all the actions and data required for a running process.
An abstract process lets you share information with your partners without exposing how you intend to use data from your service. It gives your partners a way to understand how to create their WSDL files to work in your process and to tell them what information you plan to send them when the process runs. An abstract process outlines the type of data to be exchanged, as well as activities, time limits, error handling, and other meaningful pieces of information for the process.
You cannot simulate, deploy, remote debug, or execute an abstract process.
