Creating a Message Map

This topic describes the procedure to create a Message Map.

You can create Message Map assignments to specify the input and the output messages for activities in the business process.

1. To create message map for your business process model you may do any one of the following:
   • Select a starting point and click (Business Process Model) to create a business process model. The business process model appears in the business process modeling environment.
   • If you have the business process model already opened in the business process modeling environment, then perform step 2.
2. Click Message Map tab at the bottom of the business process model window. The Message Map appears displaying three columns - Source, Assignments, and Target.
3. Create a Process Specific Message, if you want any specific messages and elements in the business process.
4. Assign input data to the respective activity in the process model.
5. Create an XPath Expression to evaluate the conditions based on data from XML.

The Message Map for the activity is created.
