Choreography Diagram Objects

Process

Composite process

None

Complex process decomposed to be further detailed (see Processes (BPM)).

Organization unit

Organization, service or person that is responsible for a process (see Organization Units (BPM)).

Role association

Unidirectional relationship that models a link between objects (see Role Associations (BPM)).

Flow

Path of the control flow between processes (see Flows (BPM)).

Decision

Decision to take when several flow paths are possible. Only one path will be triggered at execution time (see Decisions (BPM)).

Synchronization

Enables synchronization of flows between two or more concurrent actions or allows the design of a split (see Synchronizations (BPM)).

Start

Starting point of the processes described in the choreography diagram (see Starts (BPM)).

End

Termination point of the processes described in the choreography diagram (see Ends (BPM)).

Events

None

None

Instantaneous and observable occurrence during the course of a business process (see Events (BPM)).

Message format

None

Format definition of data exchanged between processes (see Message Formats (BPM)).

Message part

None

None

Portion of the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) message (see Message Parts (BPM)).

Data

None

None

Piece of information exchanged between processes (see Data (BPM)).

CRUD matrix

None

—

Table that shows the actions a process can perform on data or resources (see Working with Data and Resource CRUD Matrices).

Resource

Storage unit of abstract data circulating within the model, which is accessed by a process to perform actions (see Resources (BPM)).

Resource flow

Access of a process to a resource (see Resource Flows (BPM)).

Service provider

None

None

Object that contains a set of interfaces and operations (see Service Providers (BPM)).

Service interface

None

None

Object that contains a set of operations (see Service Interfaces (BPM)).

Operation

None

None

Input and output elements defined in terms of messages or message parts (see Operations (BPM)).

XSD document

None

None

Object that contains the data schema handled by a service provider (see XSD Documents).

Variable

None

None

Data container (see Variables (BPM)).

Correlation key

None

None

Set of variables, which is used to identify a process instance (see Correlation Keys (BPM)).

Data transformation

None

None

Object that allows the copy of data from a source to a target with potential transformations (see Data Transformations).
