Sub-Process

BPMN Sub-Process

The BPMN Sub-Process can be of two types -

• Expanded, which is represented by the Task symbol superimposed with its own set of process items forming a separate process flow.

• Collapsed, which is represented the Task symbol with a node symbol [+] on the lower boundary.

Mapping of Visio BPMN Notation to AVEVA Work Tasks Activities

While importing a sub-process from the Visio BPMN Modeler, it will be created as a separate process in AVEVA Work Tasks, and will be referenced to the parent process automatically.

• Sub-Processes will be treated as separate Process Definitions within AVEVA Work Tasks with a Sub-Process Marker in the Process Definition Storage and the definition.

• Sub-Processes will automatically get access to all the Variables and Content of the parent process.

• Sub-Processes cannot be invoked directly since their contextual information will be completely dependent upon the parent process.

• The Sub-Process Task will be mapped to the Workflow Activity, which will be mapping to above defined Sub-Process.

• The Sub-Process Activity will provide a way to easily jump to a sub-process view by using right-click on the properties.

• A Sub-Process will be able to return to a particular output by setting a variable called Sub Process_Output and based on this it can be accessed directly within the parent process flow.

• An Expanded Sub-Process is mapped to a Workflow Activity that is assigned the name of the Sub-Process. The elements inside the sub-process are mapped to the appropriate AVEVA Work Tasks activities and a new XML process definition is created with all these elements.

• A Collapsed Sub-Process is mapped to a Workflow Activity with the name of the Sub-Process assigned to the Workflow activity.
