Hi,

>>what is block?

Block is used to combine the steps that you want to execute one after the other and which are to access the same local data. You can also use a block to combine steps that you want to have the same deadline or exception handler, or to define a local correlation.

>>what r the types of blocks?

There are no types of blocks as such, where as you can define the mode for a block and they are:

Parallel For Each(ParForEach)

Dynamic Sequence (ForEach).

Hi ,

When you use BPM you will get option og using block . Block is nothing but combination of relevant steps .

For instance when you want to make sync call to database and want to throw error/alert in case the insert/update is not successful in that case what you can do you can have sync step inside block and for that block you can add deadline branch which will handle the exceptions .

Apart from this there are various BPM patterns available like ParForEach , parForAll , Forlooop etc.

Hope this helps .

Thanks ,
