Implementing Business Process Models

After creating or modifying a business process model, you must perform implementation steps before running it in Sterling B2B Integrator.

The implementation process involves:

1. Validating the process model. For information, see Business Process Model ValidationBusiness Process Model Validation.
2. Creating a definition of the process model in Sterling B2B Integrator. For information, see Creating a Business Process DefinitionCreating a Business Process Definition.
3. Checking the process model in to Sterling B2B Integrator. For information, see About Checking in Business Process ModelsAbout Checking in Business Process Models.
4. Testing that the process works as planned. For information, see Business Process Model TestingBusiness Process Model Testing.

   Use a test environment for checking in and testing your processes before you run them in your production environment.

Because implementing a process model often involves working with revised versions of pre-existing models, before you begin, review the information about version management. See Managing Business Process Model VersionsManaging Business Process Model Versions.
