BPEL Designer: Adding On Alarm Elements

See Also

The On Alarm element specifies the activities that are invoked after a specified deadline or time period.

The On Alarm element is created inside an Event Handlers container element. Thus, before adding On Alarm, be sure an Event Handler container element exists in either the Process or Scope elements.

To add and configure the On Event activity:

  1. If you have not already added an Event Handlers container, right-click the Scope or Process element and choose Add > Add Event Handlers.
  2. Right-click the Event Handlers container and choose Add > On Alarm.
  3. From the Palette, drag one or several activities that will be executed and place them inside the On Alarm branch. Configure the properties of each activity.
    Note that the BPEL Designer implicitly adds a Scope container activity for handling activities that will be executed concurrently after the specified timeout or deadline.
  4. To configure the timer, select the On Alarm element on the diagram.
    The Properties window shows the On Alarm properties (Ctrl-Shift-7).
  5. In the Properties window, select one of the following expiration types from the Alarm Type drop-down list:
  6. In the Properties window, specify the time in accordance with the selected alarm type by clicking the ellipsis button (...).
  7. (Optional) Add one or more On Alarm branches as described above.
