5.2.4 How to Create Processes

There are several ways of creating a process:

1.  Manually define

2.  Copy an existing process

Option 1. When manually defining a process, you must specify the name, description and type of process. Again the process name should follow your site standards and must be unique in the partition.  The 5.2.2 Process Style can be one of the following:

  • SAA/CUA (SAA/CUA compliant menu style)
  • ACT/BAR (action bar style).

In most cases, you will use SAA/CUA processes.

Option 2. If you copy a process, the complete process definition will be copied. All of the functions "owned" by the process will be copied as well.  Note: Function names must be unique in a partition. Copying a process will create a set of functions with identical names. These functions must be renamed or they will fail to compile.
