BPMN2 — Mistake in Table 7.2

  • Key: BPMN2-318
  • Status: open  
  • Source: - ( Sebastian Handwerker)
  • Summary:

    I found a mistake in the BPMN 2.0.2 specification.

    https://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/2.0.2/PDF

    On Page 37:

    "The attributes of Tasks and Sub-Processes will determine if they are repeated or performed once (see page 190). A set of three horizontal lines will be displayed at the bottom-center of the activity for sequential Multi-Instances (see upper figure to the right).
    A set of three vertical lines will be displayed at the bottom-center of the activity for SEQUENTIAL Multi-Instances (see lower figure to the right)."

    The second "sequential" is wrong. The vertical lines are for PARALLEL Multi-Instances.

    The corrected form is the following:

    "The attributes of Tasks and Sub-Processes will determine if they are repeated or performed once (see page 190). A set of three horizontal lines will be displayed at the bottom-center of the activity for sequential Multi-Instances (see upper figure to the right).
    A set of three vertical lines will be displayed at the bottom-center of the activity for PARALLEL Multi-Instances (see lower figure to the right)."
