Determine the best component implementation type and characteristics when building a business process

 
A business process is any course of action or procedure that an organization follows to achieve a larger business goal. When you break it down, a business process is actually a series of individual tasks that are executed in a specific order.
 
Service implementation types are the implementations of the service components.  A BPEL process component implements a business process.  A State machine is an alternative way of creating a business process. A state machine is suited for processes related to changing states rather than a flow of control. A state defines what an artifact can do at a point in time. A state machine is an implementation of this set of states.

Process types

You can use the business process editor to build either microflows or long-running processes.

Choosing between a business process and a state machine

You can model service-oriented applications using either the process editor or the state machine editor
