Creating data processing in BPMN diagrams
Data associations in BPMN diagrams have data inputs or
outputs that connect to the input or output specification of an activity
or global task. The data input and output processing that processes
own are visually represented in the diagram and you can create them
by using the Palette. The data input and output
processing that global tasks and call activities own are not represented
in the diagram, but you can configure them on the Properties page for the global task or call activity.
About this task
A data association can have a data object, data store, process data input, or process data output as its source. A valid target is a data input that is owned by the input or output specification of the activity. You can add a process data input or a process data output to a BPMN diagram by using the Palette. Use the Properties view to add or modify the item definition and structure. To add an item subject definition on a global task or call activity, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- In the diagram editor, click a global task or call activity.
- To create a data input, in the Properties view, on the Data Inputs tab,
- To create a data output, in the Properties view, click the Data Output tab, click the Add icon, and specify a definition and structure.
