BPMN21 — Event Sub-Processes use Multiple and Parallel Multiple Start Events

  • Key: BPMN21-234
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15741
  • Status: open  
  • Source: craftware.net ( Eduardo Jara)
  • Summary:

    i) Chapter/Section 10.4.2. Page 248. Table 10.84. Row “Multiple”. It says:
    “This means that there are multiple ways of triggering the Process”

    ii) Chapter/Section 10.4.2. Page 248. Table 10.84. Row “Parallel Multiple”. It says:
    “This means that there are multiple triggers REQUIRED before the Process can be instantiated”

    iii) Chapter/Section 10.4.2. Page 252. Table 10.86. Row “Multiple”. It says:
    “A Multiple Event indicates that that there are multiple ways of triggering the Event Sub-Process.”

    iv) Chapter/Section 10.4.2. Page 252. Table 10.86. Row “Parallel Multiple”. It says:
    “A Parallel Multiple Event indicates that that there are multiple ways of triggering the Event Sub-Process. All of them are REQUIRED to actually …”

    v) Chapter/Section 10.4.5. Page 279. It says:
    “If the trigger is Multiple, there are multiple ways of starting the Process. Only one of them is necessary to trigger the start of the Process. The EventDefinition subclasses will define which triggers apply”

    vi) Chapter/Section 10.4.5. Page 280. It says:
    “If the trigger is Multiple, there are multiple triggers REQUIRED to start the Process. All of them are necessary to trigger the start of the Process. The EventDefinition subclasses will define which triggers apply.”

    COMMENTS:

    and (ii) describe the use of Multiple and Parallel Multiple Start Events in Top-Level Processes.

    (iii) and (iv) describe the use of Multiple and Parallel Multiple Start Events in Event Sub- Processes

    In (v) and (vi) it is not mentioned the fact that Multiple and Parallel Multiple Start Events are used by Event Sub-Processes too.

    SUGGESTIONS:
    In (v) and (vi) “Process” should be replaced by “Process or Event Sub- Process” (4 times)
