Creating choreography tasks in BPMN diagrams

A choreography task represents an initiating participant that sends a message to a receiving participant. Choreography tasks can contain messages and other resources. Choreography tasks can be sequenced together with other choreography tasks. You can also link participants from a different model to the choreography task. You can specify an initiating message as well as the response from the receiving participant, with or without a message.

  2. In the diagram editor, click to add the choreography task.
    1. In the Select Initiating Participant window, select Select Participant from Another Model or Create Participant .
    2. In the Select Noninitiating Participant window, select an existing participant from the same model or from a collaboration model or create a participant.
