Introduction
Integrated Process Development Environment
Powered by Eclipse
Built on top of the popular Eclipse platform.
It is a collection of Eclipse plugins, and runs on any of the many operating
systems supported by the Eclipse workbench, including Linux, Mac OS X,
and Microsoft Windows
Windows.
You can install other plugins for version control, task management, and etc.
Zero Code Process Design
Is used by business analysts
analysts, software engineers
engineers, and system
administrators for supporting the modeling of business-level processes,
their binding onto external systems and user interfaces, and their
deployment onto Intalio|Server respectively.
Intalio|Designer is the only tool currently available on the market that allows
any BPMN model to be turned into fully executable BPEL processes without
having to write any code.
One-Click Process Deployment
A single

Window
More than one Workbench window can exist on the desktop at
any given time
Each Workbench window contains one or more perspectives
Perspectives
Perspectives contain views and editors and control what appears
in certain menus and tool bars.

support editors and provide alternative presentations as well as
ways to navigate the information in your Workbench
Editors
You can associate different editors with different types of files.
Any number of editors can be open at once, but only one can be
active at a time.

1.1 Involving

p
p
An interface is represented by
y a participant
that is calling the process.
One process can have one or multiple interfaces.
The iinteraction
Th
t

between
t
a process and
d one off itits
interface will be described in a WSDL(automatically
generated).
To define an interface, simply drag-and-drop a
new pool in the diagram.
Mark this pool as being non-executable
non executable as explained
above.
Indeed the new pool we have just created does not represent a
process that will execute. It is used to represent how the process will
be called by the 'external world'
world'.
In the newly created pool, drag-and-drop a BPMN task
and connects it to tasks in your pool with messages.

1.2 Defining

Defining
g an interface means defining
g the
messages:
what data is my process expecting to start?
what
h t data
d t is

i tto send
db
back?
k?
In your Process Explorer, expand the XML
Schema file (generated in Eclipse) to see all
the root elements that can be used to define
the XML Structure of each message.
Select node, drag and drop it on
corresponding message.
A littl
little icon
i
will
ill appear on the
th message link
li k
illustrating that an XML Structure has been
defined for the message.
39
TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
Tip: If you forget the XML Structure you have
assigned to a message,
message simply right-click
right click on the
message and you can choose Show Schema in
Process Explorer or Show Schema Element in
Process Explorer
Tip:
Tip: Unlink attached schema type in right-click
right click
menu removes the definition.
40
TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
To include a schema file in Intalio project:
j
Install EMF related plugins in Intalio environment, and
create the schema file in the same project
(recommended)
Drag (from Eclipse for instance) to corresponding folder
in Project Explorer View (sometimes does not work...)
Copy the file to the project folder
folder, then right click the
folder icon in Project Explorer View, and click refresh

2.1 Working
g with Data Mapper
pp
The Data Mapper is a g
graphical tool that
allows you to define data transformation
between variables as well as define
conditions in a process.
Variables are automatically created for you when you
integrate an external WSDL or when you drop an XML
Schema on a message.
Intalio|BPMS Designer automatically initializes the
variables.
Data Mapper
Reference Guide:
http://community.int
alio.com/referenceguides/intaliob
bpms-designerd i
data-mapper.html
If needed you can overwrite the default initialization by right
right-clicking
clicking
on their name in the Data Mapper.
In BPEL, you can theoretically manipulate all the
variables at anyy stage
g of the p
process and the Mapper
pp
offers a user-friendly filtering mechanism to improve the
user experience.
You are free to disable filtering if you wish.
42
TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
The Data Mapper is composed of two views
(sometimes also called "panels"):
The Mapper Palette
Gives access to all "operators"
operators that may be used in the mapper.
mapper
More information is given in Properties View when you click one
operator. You can copy the information if there is not enough space
to display it.
The Mapper View
The area where you actually define your mappings.
43
TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
The Mapper View (Contd)
the area where you actually define your mappings.
The first column on the left defines the source data for the mapping
and list all the process data variables.
The third column on the right defines the destination data for the
mapping and also list all process data variables.
The second column in between is a work area where operators can
be dropped and used to transform the source data before mapping it
to the destination data.

TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
Using
g Operators
There are two ways you can add an operator in the
middle section of the Mapper view.
First,, you
y mayy drag-and-drop

from the Mapper

into the Mapper view.
You may alternatively use the "Operator" tool in the Mapper toolbar.
To use the "Operator" tool:
45
TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
To provide input parameters to an operator, create links
f
from
the
h source - either
i h another
h operator or an element
l
in the input data - to the operator. The elements that you
link to the operator will be passed in the same order.
To pass the

l
t or
another operator, create a link from the operator to the
target element or operator.
46
TDT4250 - Model-driven Development of Information Systems, Autumn 2009
To create a link:
Click on the Connector Tool [Connects operator and
nodes button]in the Mapper Toolbar.
Alternatively, move your mouse over the end of an
Alternatively
operator or tree node, the pointer changes to show you
that you can click here to start a link. Click here, release
the button, move to your target node or operator and
click again to create your link.
