Defining Business Process Data

Buiness process data represent the required data structure of the business data used in the Business Process.

We recomment creating business process data if you want to integrate Technical Processes into your BPM process and work with a predefined data structure in these Technical Processes. For the example process described here, the process technical data is required to create a decision table and an associated rule. For more information, see Creating a Decision Table and Inserting a Rule.

You define this data structure using so-called domain model files (.domainmodel). In these domain model files, you can define a three-level hierarchy for the business data, including corresponding descriptions and thus add it to the process definition.

Notes:

• If you want to use the business proess data for more than one Business Process, you need to create the .domainmodel file in the Activities > DomainModel repository folder.

• If you want to use the business process data for a specific Business Process, you need to create the .domainmodel file directly below the Business Process. Once saved, it is attached directly to the Start event of the Business Process.
