Use to define a counter binding for a BPEL process.
A counter is meant to count how many times a specific BPEL activity gets executed at runtime. A counter is a type of business indicator. Business indicators are designed to be sharable and bindable to multiple BPEL processes within a composite. This enables you to monitor their value changes from one process to another when the composite is executed during analytics runtime.
