BPML Activities in Business Process Models

Before each service in a business process model, you must include the Sequence Start BPML activity, and after the service you must include the Sequence End activity. Other BPML activities enable more complex activities.

Some BPML activities must be used in pairs, to bracket other activities. That is, for a given processing step in a business process model, you must use one of these bracketing activities at the beginning and one at the end. These are considered to be parent activities.
