Designing Processes

CA Process Automation process objects graphically represent operators, ports, links, logic, and constraints. Each process contains one or more chains of operators that you can run in a sequence or in parallel. Lanes separate parent processes from any triggered secondary processes. For example, a branch of a process that switches to a subprocess is often depicted in a separate lane. Exception handlers control operators that abort or terminate due to system errors or unidentified exit conditions.

Each process defines the configuration and management of operators on touchpoints in an environment. Process objects are stored with other objects in a library that is associated with an orchestrator. You can create process objects in the Library Browser or directly in the Designer. You also open them from the Library Browser. However, you view and edit processes in the Process Designer.
