Petals ESB specific vocabulary

The following terms are defined in Petals ESB context and must be used in all technical and functional documents.

Terms
Definition Variable names in source code
  • Process
 Set of steps assembled to define a processing.
 
  • Process identifier
 Identifier associated to a process.
  • processId
  • Process instance
 When a process is invoked, a process instance is created representing the process execution.
 
  • Process instance identifier
 It is a GUUID (Global Universal Unique Identifier) identifying one and only one process instance.
It can be initialized from outside client when entering in Petals ESB and transmitted to application resources to retrieve all steps of a global business process. Inside Petals ESB, this identifier is automatically transmitted step by step.
  • processInstanceId
  • correlationId
  • processExecutionId
  • processRequestId
  • globalMessageId
  • contextUuid
  • Process loop identifier
 This identifier is used to identify the loop iteration in which steps are executed. Without the process execution identifier, this identifier has no real sens.
This identifier is formed as: <main-loop-id>[-<sub-loop-id>] where:
  • <main-loop-id> is the process loop identifier of the process first step. It is defined as '0',
  • <sub-loop-id> is defined as: <iteration-number>[-<sub-loop-id>] where <iteration-number> is the loop iteration number starting to 0.
  • processLoopId
  • Process branch identifier
 This identifier is used to identify the parallel branch in which steps are executed. Without the process execution identifier, this identifier has no real sens.
This identifier is formed as: <main-branch-id>[-<sub-branch-id>] where:
  • <main-branch-id> is the process branch identifier of the process main branch. It is defined as '0',
  • <sub-branch-id> is defined as: <branch-id>[-<sub-branch-id>] where <branch-id> is a number starting to 0 and incremented by each created sub-branch.
  • processBranchId
  • branchId
  • Component name
 A component name is an unique name assigned to the component instance at installation time.
  • componentName
  • loggerName
  • Trace code
 A code identifying uniquely a trace type in log. For example, all service invocations are logged on the consumer side with the same code.
  • traceCode


Global terms utilization
This previous terms are not only used for BPEL

This identifier is formed as: <main-loop-id>[-<sub-loop-id>] where:

  • <main-loop-id> is the process loop identifier of the process first step. It is defined as '0',
  • <sub-loop-id> is defined as: <iteration-number>[-<sub-loop-id>] where <iteration number> is the loop iteration number starting to 0.
