Create or Edit Receive Task Dialog - Implementation Page

Oracle BPM Editor then choose Component PaletteReceive Taskdialog for the Receive Task

Use to specify how the receive task is implemented within a BPM process.

Implementation Type
Select to change the BPMN activity used for this element of your process.

This drop-down menu allows you to change the type of BPMN activity for this element without having to delete and re-add a new activity.

Note: If you change the implementation type of an activity, you must reconfigure any properties you have set.

Create Instance
Select to create a new instance of the business process.

When a message is received, receive activities play a role in the lifecycle of a business process. If this checkbox is selected, this indicates that the occurrence of this activity causes a new instance of the business process to be created. If you select this checkbox, this must be the initial activity in the business process. More

Conversation
A conversation defines the sequence of a group of messages that communicate with other processes or services. A receive task can continue a conversation initiated by a previous send task.
Possible values are:

Initiates: this receive task is the first participant in the conversation.
Continues: this receive task continues a conversation.

Properties (when Initiates is selected)

Implementation
Select how to implement this receive task. Possible values are:

Define Interface: You must define the signature of the operation the receive task exposes.
Interface from Catalog: Use the signature of an interface in the Business Catalog for the operation this receive task exposes.
Not Implemented: The implementation of this receive task event is not yet defined.

Implementation (When Define Interface is selected)

Argument Definition Table
Lists the arguments required to invoke the operation the receive task exposes. These are the arguments passed to the process from the invoking process or service.

Add icon
Click to add an argument to the operation this receive task exposes.

Edit icon
Click to edit a selected argument. You can modify the name and type of the argument.

Remove icon
Click to remove a selected argument.

Name column
Displays the name of the argument.

Type column
Displays the data type of the argument.

Advanced
Select the type of operation the receive task exposes.
Possible values are:

Asynchronous: the services or processes invoking the operation the receive task exposes do not have to wait for an answer. To obtain the result of this operation you must configure your process or service to receive the callback of this operation.
Synchronous: the services or processes invoking the operation must wait for an answer.

Operation Name
Enter a name for the operation the receive task exposes.

Implementation (When Interface from Catalog is selected)

Initiator Node
Select the task that precedes this receive task in the conversation.

Properties (when Continues is selected)

Initiator Node
Select the send or receive task that precedes this receive task in the conversation.

When the Initiator Node invokes a process:

Process
Displays the BPMN process the receive task invokes. You cannot edit this field, click the Browse.. icon to change the selected BPMN process. Question to reviewers: should this show the process invoked by the initiator node? If so, then this field should be grayed out.

Browse... icon
Click to view the available BPMN processes and select one.

Clear icon
Click to deselect the currently selected BPMN process.

Node
Select the send or receive task to invoke.

When the Initiator Node invokes a service:

Name
Displays the service this receive task invokes. You cannot edit this field, click the Browse.. icon to change the selected service. Question to reviewers: should this show the service invoked by the initiator node? If so, then this field should be grayed out.

Browse... icon
Click to view the available services and select one.

Clear icon
Click to deselect the currently selected service.

Operation
Select the operation to invoke.

When the Initiator Node defines an interface:
The services or processes invoking the operation exposed by this receive task must first invoke the operation exposed by the initiator node. The operation exposed by this receive task can have the same interface as the initiator node or define its own interface.

Implementation
Select how this receive task defines the interface it uses to expose an operation. Possible values are:

Use initiator interface: use the same interface the initiator node uses to expose an operation.
Define Interface: define an interface for the operation this catch event exposes. This interface is different from the one defined by the initiator node.
Not Implemented: The implementation of this receive task is not yet defined.

Argument Definition Table
Lists the arguments required to invoke the operation the receive task exposes.
