Business process sessions in the Modeler

When you create or modify a business process diagram in the Process Modeler Workbench, these LN sessions can be started:

• Business Process Activities (tgbrg5122s000)

  To define the basic data of activities and control activities.

• Business Process States (tgbrg5130s000)

  To define a description for the state and specify an external code. This code indicates the position of that state relative to other states.

An activity can be:

• Of the type manual activity
• A nested business process
• An application

To start the session, double-click an activity or right-click an activity and click Properties.
