Working with operations

You add operations to process diagrams to represent the activities that are performed in processes. Operations appear as rounded rectangles with an icon that identifies the operation.

From the services that are available, many different operations can be used to implement the process. The operation determines the activity that the LiveCycle ES2.5 server performs when the operation is executed at run time. For example, when a process diagram includes an Assign Task operation, when the process is invoked and the operation is executed, the User service assigns a task to a user or group.

Most operations have properties that you need to configure so that they function properly. For example, an operation that acts on process data requires you to specify the data to use. All operations have general properties that you can configure, such as the name and description of the operation and the order in which the routes that follow the operation are evaluated. They also have properties that are specific to the operation.
