OPM Processes

The Orchestration Process Model contains equivalent business processes to the APM, but in which candidate service tasks are replaced with ServiceTasks, which invoke Services. The OPM also contains Service Implementation and Service Processes.

Business Processes: The OPM Models business processes, and service subprocesses arranged in 25 specific areas of business interest. Each sub-package contains a set of BPMN2.0 process models.

Service Implementations: This package is composed of design-level processes aligned with the APM Service Candidate Processes, and describe complex automatable process flows, equivalent to the Service Candidate processes in the APM.

The Global Items Package contains elements, tasks, data item definitions, and resources used throughout the model.

The Service Processes package contains processes, divided into 41 sub-packages comprising specific areas of business interest, and aligned with the BOM Capability hierarchy. there is one Service Process for each APM candidate service Global Task. Each Service Process contains a ServiceTask element that invokes a Service defined in the Web Services Design Model (WSDM).
