Process Definitions

Process Definitions for Primary ERP Processing

<Starter>_<Object>_<Action>_PD

The following describes the fields in this standard:

Field	Description
Starter	The action that invoked the Process Definition. See below for possibilities.
Object	The name or type of the data that the data processes.
Action	The action that occurs when the Process Definition ends. See below for possibilities.

Primary Process Definition Fields

Starter Field

The following describes possible Starters:

Action	Description
JMS	If the process is triggered by receipt of a message on a JMS Queue.
RV	If the process is triggered by receipt of a RV message.
Start	If the process is started by an ordinary Start node.
Timer	If the process is started by a timer.
File	If the process reads or polls a file.
JDBC	If the process reads or polls a database.

Primary Process Definition Starter Fields

Object Field

The following describes possible Objects:

Object	Description
Error	If the process primarily handles an Error.
CBOPart	If the process primarily handles a Part.
CBOBOM	If the process primarily handles a BOM.
Response	If the process primarily handles a Windchill ESI Response.
Request	If the process primarily handles a Windchill ESI Request.
CBODocument	If the process primarily handles a Document.
CBOECN	If the process primarily handles a CN.
CBODocumentLink	If the process primarily handles a Document Link.
ControlData	If the process primarily handles internal EAI software components processing, rather than business data.
ObjectHeader	If the process primarily handles CBO header information.
Log	If the process primarily handles logging.

Primary Process Definition Object Fields

Action Field

The following describes possible Actions:

Action	Description
PublishJMS	If the process publishes to a JMS Queue.
PublishRV	If the process publishes to an RV Subject.
SAPCreate	If the process creates an object in SAP.
SAPChange	If the process changes an object in SAP.
SAPDelete	If the process deletes an object in SAP.
ESIRelease	If the process releases data from Windchill ESI.
JDBCInsert	If the process inserts an object into a database.
JDBCSelect	If the process selects an object from a database.
JDBCDelete	If the process deletes an object from a database.
JDBCUpdate	If the process updates an object in the database.

Primary Process Definition Action Fields

If a process definition performs more than one operation, concatenate the Actions together. For example, SAPCreateChangeDelete.

Words in each field should follow Windchill ESI Capitalization Notation.

For example, a process definition that subscribes to the Response queue and creates a Part object in SAP should be called JMS_Part_SAPCreate_PD.

Process Definitions for Secondary Process Diagrams

<Starter>_<Object>_<Action>_<Purpose>_PD

Use this standard for Process Diagrams that do not perform primary object processing.

Starter Field

The following describes possible Starters:

Action	Description
JMS	If the process is triggered by receipt of a message on a JMS Queue.
RV	If the process is triggered by receipt of a RV message.
Start	If the process is started by an ordinary Start node.
Timer	If the process is started by a timer.
File	If the process reads or polls a file.
JDBC	If the process reads or polls a database.

Secondary Process Definition Starter Fields

Object Field

The following describes few possible Objects:

Object	Description
Error	If the process primarily handles an Error.
CBOPart	If the process primarily handles a Part.
CBOBOM	If the process primarily handles a BOM.
Response	If the process primarily handles a Windchill ESI Response.
CBODocument	If the process primarily handles a Document.
CBOECN	If the process primarily handles a CN.
CBODocumentLink	If the process primarily handles a Document Link.
ControlData	If the process primarily handles internal EAI software components processing, rather than business data.
ObjectHeader	If the process primarily handles CBO header information.
Log	If the process primarily handles logging.

Secondary Process Definition Object Fields

Action Field

The following describes possible Actions:

Action	Description
Update	If the process performs an update of some kind, either to an existing object in ERP or to a database,
Publish	If the process publishes information to RV or JMS.
Receive	If the process receives information from RV or JMS.
Process	If the process performs a subset of the processing required by the larger object process.
Stage	If the process prepares data for use elsewhere.

Secondary Process Definition Action Fields

Purpose Field

The following describes possible Purposes:

Object	Description
PostResult	If the process performs work related to PostResult messaging.
Effectivity	If the process performs work related to Effectivity.
RevisionLevel	If the process performs work related to Revision Levels.
DocumentVersion	If the process performs work related to Document Versions.
ByOrganization	If the process exists solely to perform an action by organization.
Iterate	If the process exists solely to iterate over an object.

Secondary Process Definition Purpose Fields

For example, a process that processes PostResult messages for a Document Link process should be called Start_CBODocumentLink_Publish_PostResult_PD.

Common Process Definitions

<Purpose>_Service

The following describes possible Purposes:

Purpose	Description
Logging	The common logging service.
ErrorHandling	The common error handling service.
WCResult	The service to publish a result to Windchill.
SubTransactionPostResult	The service to publish a SubTransaction Post Result to Windchill.

Common Process Definitions Purposes

For example, the common logging process should be called Logging_Service.
