PowerDesigner now supports two variants of BPMN 2.0:
- BPMN 2.0 Executable - To be used when reverse-engineering
from SAP® NetWeaver® BPM or Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler. Provides strong links
between participants, their lanes, and their associated events, activities,
gateways, data, and flows.
- BPMN 2.0 Descriptive - A less restrictive version, which is
more suited to lighter analysis modeling and allows reuse of lanes in
different pools.
Note: When opening BPMN models created in previous versions of PowerDesigner,
you will be invited to choose between converting them to BPMN Descriptive or
keeping them in the BPMN Executable format that was originally
supported.
