Hi Harsha,

loop

block

wait

sender etc....

once u understand there purpose then u can use accroding to the requirement

if refer it will depending on that scenario so u may get confused

to use block or loop first depends on the requirement in a block there can be a loop and vice versa

Hi Harsha,

Block step is similar to what we use curly braces in most of the languages which defines the scope. For example if we are using loop step in bpm to loop through some variable then we can use block step to restrict the scope of loop step up to some point.

Loop ( ) will be used to repeat the execution of steps within the loop. The loop continues to run while the end condition returns true (while loop). In your case this can be counter till it reaches value 5.To specify the end condition, use the condition editor.

Various steps of the BPM are clearly explained in the following links, You can follow these to configure your BPM.

Hi

Business process management (BPM) is a systematic approach to improving an organization's business processes. BPM activities seek to make business processes more effective, more efficient, and more capable of adapting to an ever-changing environment. BPM is a subset of infrastructure management, the administrative area of concern dealing with maintenance and optimization of an organization's equipment and core operations.

A business process is a set of coordinated tasks and activities, conducted by both people and equipment, that will lead to accomplishing a specific organizational goal. The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), a non-profit organization, exists to promote the standardization of common business processes, as a means of furthering e-business and business-to-business (B2B) development. To this end, the organization has developed the Business Process Modeling Language (BPML), an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based metalanguage for modeling business processes.
