Defining a transition

About this task

Transition is the act of moving from one state to another in a flow.

A transition can take place only if departure events are defined to signify a state to move to another state. Every state in a flow must have a departure for a transaction flow to complete successfully.

For detailed information on states, refer to the Transitions topic.

Procedure

To define a transition, do the following steps:

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer pane, double-click the Transaction file that you want to edit. The Transaction file opens in the Transaction editor.
  2. In the Transaction editor, click the Processor tab.
  3. In the Palette pane, click Transition.
  4. In the Processor tab, click and drag from the first state to the next state in the flow.
  5. Click the transition icon of the transition in the Processor tab to add an event to the transition.
    Note: If the first state has only one event, the event for the transition is specified automatically; however, if the start state has more than one event, you must select the event that is required for the first state to transition to the next state.
  6. In the Properties tab of the transition, click the Browse icon of the Name field. The Select Events window displays.
  7. In the Select Events window, select the event that you want to add to the transition, and then click OK.
