Adding a PDT to an SRD

The process definition template (PDT) defines the business process for the Service Request Definition (SRD). When you create an SRD, you must associate one of the following types of PDTs to it:

  • Standard PDT (for standard SRDs) — When a service request is submitted, the specified relationship (between the catalog offering and the related back-end templates) determines which back-end application requests are created and in what order. No fulfillment application requests are created if the service catalog does not have the process template defined.
  • Quick launch (for quick launch SRDs) — When a service request is submitted, the specified relationship (between the catalog offering and the quick launch PDT) determines which URL is launched.

You can use the Visual Process Editor to view process templates already attached to the SRD.
