9.2.2 Setting Service Emulation

To use a created response message instead of invoking the actual service, set service emulation.

You can use service emulation to continue processing process instances even if the service is not invoked from the business process.

Two types of service emulation functionalities exist: automatic emulation and manual emulation.

Automatic service emulation is the functionality that executes service emulation automatically when processing of the process instance continues to the service invocation activity. Before invoking the service from the service invocation activity, the operation of the service for emulation and the operation response messages must be set..

Manual service emulation is the functionality that sets response messages of services for emulation when processing of the process instance is interrupted by the service invocation activity. Service emulation is executed manually in this functionality.
