Creating Service Tasks for Business Processes

Service tasks are used to save data integrity after transferring authorization objects and processes between repositories. Service tasks can be created only on processes server execution. Service tasks for business processes can be created on the Service Tasks page in the Parameters Setup and Business Processes Administration dialog box.

Run the utility with the BP_UTIL identifier in the object navigator. After that the Parameters Setup and Business Processes Administration dialog box opens.

NOTE. The utility is available only in the desktop application.

Go to the Service Tasks page.
