Creating a Practice Process App for Data Mapping

In this section, you will create a new process app (DataMappingProcessApp) that contains an application workflow. Then you will create an orchestration workflow (DataMappingOrchWF), which you will use to practice mapping data.
Important: This process app is for demonstration purposes only and is not valid. Do not try to publish or deploy it.

To create the practice process app:

  1. Start SBM Composer.
  2. Click the Composer button, and then select New.
  3. In the Create New Process App dialog box that opens, in the Available Templates pane, click Application Process App, and then click Create.
  4. In the Configure Process App dialog box that opens, in the Process app name box, type DataMappingProcessApp.
  5. In the Category box, type Examples.
  6. In the Application name box, type DataMappingApp, and then click OK.
  7. In App Explorer, under the Application Workflows heading, right-click DataMappingApp and then select Rename.
  8. Change the name to DataMappingAppWF and then press the Tab key.
  9. In App Explorer, right-click DataMappingProcessApp, point to Add New, and then select Orchestration.
  10. In the New Orchestration dialog box, type DataMappingOrch in the Name box and then click OK.
  11. In App Explorer, under Application Workflows, select DataMappingAppWF.
  12. In the application workflow editor, select the New state. On the General tab of the application workflow Property Editor, change the value of the Name field to State, and then press the Tab key.
  13. In the application workflow editor, select the Submit transition.
  14. On the General tab of the transition Property Editor, change the value of the Name field to Transition, and then press the Tab key.
  15. Right-click the Transition transition, and select Show Actions.
  16. On the Actions tab of the transition Property Editor, click New.

    The Action Wizard asks, "Which type of action do you want to execute?"

  17. Without changing anything, click Next.

    The Action Wizard asks, "What do you want to affect?"

  18. Without changing anything, click Next.

    The Action Wizard asks, "Which condition do you want to check?"

  19. Without changing anything, click Next.

    The Action Wizard asks, "Which orchestration workflow do you want to invoke?"

  20. In the list under Step 1, select (Add new workflow...).

    SubmitTransitionWorkflow is added to list and selected.

  21. Without changing anything in Step 2, click Finish.
  22. In App Explorer, under DataMappingOrch, under Orchestration Workflows, select SubmitTransitionWorkflow.
  23. On the General tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor, change the value of the Name field to DataMappingOrchWF, and then press the Tab key.
  24. Save the process app by performing the following steps:
    1. On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Save locally icon. A message reminds you that the design elements were saved to the Local Cache only.
    2. Click OK.
  25. If you closed SBM Composer after saving the process app, perform the following steps:
    1. Start SBM Composer.
    2. Click the Composer button, and then select Open.
