Process Step
The Process step calls a previously saved process and executes it within the current process.
Process Step Properties
After adding a /download/attachments/25952276/Process_step.png?version=1&modificationDate=1491995436748&api=v2 Process step from the Toolbox Palette to the canvas, you can double-click the step on the canvas and specify the following step properties in the Properties tab displayed at the bottom.
Name
Description
Name
Unique name for the step. You can use alphabets, numbers, and special characters such as -, _. . , and #.
Description
Description for the step (optional).
Enabled
Select this option to enable the step for execution. If it is not enabled, then the step on the canvas is greyed-out.
This option is useful when troubleshooting a process, especially when there are numerous steps in the process.
Error Handling
Select either of the following:
Abort Process - All the steps after this one are skipped or the entire process is aborted (depending on how you have the error logging options set) if this step aborts due to an error. The default is Abort Process.
Ignore Error - The rest of the steps in this process are executed even if this step aborts due to an error.
Choose a process
Process to execute at this step.
Participate in parent process transaction
When selected, the sub-process is transactional. This means that if the parent process fails, the sub-process is rolled back. If the sub-process is not transactional, then even if the parent process fails at some point after the sub-process step, the sub-process still commits.
Caution!  When using any function that declares a private variable within a process, if you call that function from a Process step, the function fails since it is not able to access the private variable.
