BPMN21 — Wrong Public Process in Figure 10.127

  • Key: BPMN21-240
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15747
  • Status: open  
  • Source: craftware.net ( Eduardo Jara)
  • Summary:

    i) Chapter/Section 10.8. Page 318. It says:
    “For example Figure 10.127 shows a public Process at the top with a Send Task and Receive Task. A supporting private Process is shown at the bottom.”

    ii) Chapter/Section 10.8. Page 319. Figure 10.127.
    Public Process (at the top) consists of a Receive Task followed by a Send Task.

    iii) Issue 14652: Private process example correction (bpmn2-ftf). It says:
    “The private process in Figure 10-122 (One Process supporting to another)
    should have activity X and event B in parallel, because event B may
    arrive while X is executing, which would be lost in the current example.
    See webinar example on slide 51 in bmi/09-06-02.”

    COMMENTS:

    In it is stated that the A must be a Send Task, and B must be a Receive Task.

    In (ii) A is a Receive Task, and B is a Send Task. This contradicts .

    In (iii) it is stated that the problem with the example was the location of Activity X and Event B in the Private Process, nothing is said about Tasks A and B.

    SUGGESTIONS:

    Change the types of Tasks in Public Process:
    Task A should be a Send Task (filled envelope marker)
    Task B should be a Receive Task (unfilled envelope marker)
