(15) Remove default task from Human activity “Enter Emp Details”
Repeat the step for “Display Emp Details”
Save ALL
(16) Import the WSDL by clicking on Service Interface -> Import WSDL
Check Remote Location/File System and import the WSDL from your desktop and then click on finish

Click Next
(20) Fill Display Emp Details and check the checkboxes
(21) Fill Enter Emp Details and check the checkboxes
Click Next
(22) Click Finish and Wait for the wizard to generate the UIs

(41) In Process Composer perspective: Deploy the DC
(42) Deployment starts.Log shows the BPM is deployed successfully
Step 7 .Run the process
(43) Click on SAP Netweaver Administrator . Search for Process Repository -> Go
