Business Identifiers
In an application it is necessary to identify the process instances using specific identifiers. These types of identifiers are called Business Identifiers which can be defined at a project level and be linked to one or more process models. When a single business identifier is linked to multiple process models, then each instance of that model will have one instance of the linked business identifier value. Process developers should ensure that proper values are assigned to these Business Identifiers. Assignment of business data to Business Identifiers is possible using the message map. However, the values stored in the business identifiers cannot be used to assign values to the input messages of an activity. If the values larger than 250 characters are assigned, they are truncated at run-time. Once the values are linked and assigned to these identifiers, they will enable the query of process instances across different process models with a single business identifier.
Business Identifiers must have a name, a description, and a type.
