  3. Click the Add Action Rule icon Add Action Rule icon under Rules.
    Business rule set editor
  4. To copy the input variable to the output variable, click Action and select Output:Order. Then select = and then Input:Order.
    Action menu
  5. Add a second rule by clicking the Add Template rule icon Add Template rule icon and select AutoApprovalTemplate.
    Auto Approval Template
  6. Click Enter value and type 750.00.
    Auto Approval Template, Enter value

Remove export from the assembly diagram

Because this process is intended to be launched through the Order form, not through a Web service call, remove the export element from the assembly diagram by completing the following steps:

  1. In the Business Integration view, expand the assembly diagram from the project tree and double-click processes/orderhandlingfuture1/OrderHandlingFuture1. The assembly diagram editor opens.
  2. Every element in the assembly diagram is selected when the assembly diagram is launched. Click on the white space to deselect the elements. Export is the leftmost element in the diagram. Right-click the export element named OrderHandling (Future1), and, ensuring that you have selected only the export and not all of the elements in the diagram, select Delete. You do not need the export because you will add a human task to invoke the business process later.
