Creating an initial state for a transaction flow

The first state in a transaction flow is called an initial state, and the last state in a transaction flow is called a final state.

About this task

A state is a condition or stage of a flow. A state progresses to the next state when conditions that you specify have been satisfied or when events have been fired.
Important: A transaction flow must have only one initial state. If you create more than one initial state, the system will not know which initial state should be used to start a transaction flow, causing the transaction to fail.
For detailed information on states, refer to the States topic.

Procedure

To create an initial state for a transaction, do the following steps:

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer pane, double-click the transaction file that you want to edit to open the transaction file in the Transaction editor.
  2. In the Transaction editor, click the Processor tab.
  3. In the Palette pane, click Initial.
  4. In the Processor tab of the Transaction editor, click on the area at which you want to place the Initial state icon The initial state icon.. If you want to change the location of the Initial state icon in the Processor tab, drag and drop the Initial state icon to the desired location.
