BPMN file represents the Workflow defined/specified by the designer using Workflow Designer tool in SDC.

Sample BPMN file

1810_Samplev5.bpmn

Designer is able to define

  1. Workflow
  2. Inputs and Outputs of Workflow
  3. Manage Activities of Workflow
  4. Establish dependencies between Activities in a Workflow
  5. Map Inputs and Outputs of Workflow/Activity to Inputs and Outputs of an Activity

Workflow

#SDC FieldBPMN FieldXML attribute/element  Notes
1workflow.versionId process.id attribute  
2workflow.nameprocess.nameattribute 
3workflow.description
 Where do we map description to? 

Inputs and Outputs of Workflow

#SDC FieldBPMN FieldXML attribute/elementNotes
1 process.dataInput.id ? 
2workflow.input.nameprocess.dataInput.nameattribute
3 process.inputSet.dataInputRefs   
4 process.dataOutput.id  ? 
5workflow.output.nameprocess.dataOutput.nameattribute

Manage Activities of Workflow

Activities are represented in BPMN as ServiceTask.

#SDC FieldBPMN FieldXML attribute/elementNotes
1id serviceTask.idattribute ? 
2name serviceTask.nameattribute  
3 serviceTask.class attribute Class is a constant configurable in SDC

Establish dependencies between Activities in a Workflow

#BPMN FieldXML attribute/element Notes
1sequenceFlow.id attribute Identifier of sequence flow generated on creation
