Start building the sample integration by adding a message event to a business process definition (BPD).

Before you begin

To perform this task, you must be in the IBM® Process Designer desktop editor, which is deprecated.

Procedure

  1. Open the desktop Process Designer (deprecated).
  2. Open a process application in the Designer view.
  3. Create a simple BPD that contains two activities.
    (If you need detailed instructions, see Creating a process .)
  4. Drag an Intermediate Event component from the palette onto the BPD diagram so that it falls between the two activities.
  5. In the text box that displays over the event, type a name for the event. For this sample, you can type: Incoming Message Event.
  6. Click the Implementation tab in the properties. The default implementation for intermediate events that are included in the process flow is Message.
  7. If not already selected, click the drop-down list and choose Receiving from the available message types.
  8. Use the Sequence Flow tool to connect the BPD components as shown in the following example: This screen capture shows the BPD diagram created by following the preceding steps.
  9. Save your work.
