Business Process

Extend a composite Activity that defines a business process.

 

 

 

BPEL Process

Define the behavior of an executable or abstract business process.

 

 

 

Activity

Represents work that is performed within a Business Process. An Activity can be modeled as a:

·Sub-Process - a compound Activity that is defined as a flow of other BPMN 1.1 elements or
·Task - an atomic Activity that cannot be broken down into a smaller unit

 

As a sub-process, the Activity can be made a composite element that links to a child diagram containing the flow of other BPMN elements.

Intermediate Event

Define an intermediate event in a process.
