Process Control Run-Time Considerations

This section outlines some of the run-time issues you must consider when you are invoking a Process control in your business process. When you are invoking a Process control from a parent business process, you are making a Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) to the subprocess. The transfer of information is governed by RMI rules and not by serialization rules.

The topics covered in this section are:

Run-Time Rules for Process Controls in Stateless and Stateful Business Processes

The number of transactions contained in a business process determines whether the process is stateless or stateful. For more information, see Building Stateless and Stateful Processes. This section covers some of the run-time issues you should consider when using a Process control in stateless and stateful business processes.

The following rules govern the run-time operation of Process controls in stateless and stateful business processes:

Run-Time Rules for Process Controls in Synchronous and Asynchronous Business Processes

Business processes can have both synchronous or asynchronous request methods. For more information, see Building Synchronous and Asynchronous Business Processes. This section covers some of the run-time issues you should consider when using a Process control in synchronous and asynchronous business processes.

The following rules govern the run-time operation of Process controls in synchronous and asynchronous business processes:

Security

The Process control conforms to all standard security checks associated with Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). SSI is not supported. For more security information, see Security.
