Defining variables

Create the variables that will store the data that is exchanged between the LoanApprovalProcess component and the other components it communicates with.

The LoanApprovalProcess BPEL process uses the ApplicationInput and BankResponse variables to interact with the customer.

To define the variables used in the LoanApprovalProcess implementation, follow the steps below.

  1. Under Variables, click the plus sign to add a global variable. Name the variable AutoApprovalData and select LoanRequestBO as the data type. Click OK. A variable is added to the Variables list.
  2. Repeat the above steps for the following variables:
    Name Data Type Purpose (function)
    AutoApprovalResponseData boolean Holds the response from the bank resulting from an automatic loan approval.
    ManualApprovalData ManualApprovalBO Holds the loan application data and instruction passed to the loan officer.
  3. Save the business process.
