Migrate BPMN 1.0 Model to BPMN 1.1
It is possible to migrate a BPMN 1.0 model (or part of a model) to BPMN 1.1 or BPMN1.1::BPEL, using the Automation Interface. There are two functions you can use:
· | MigrateToBPMN11() |
· | proj.MigrateToBPMN11 sGUID, "BPMN" |
· | proj.MigrateToBPMN11 sGUID, "BPEL" |
· | Migrate() |
· | proj.Migrate sGUID, "BPMN", "BPMN1.1" |
· | proj.Migrate sGUID, "BPMN", "BPMN1.1::BPEL" |
These functions update the Tagged Values and, if required, stereotypes to BPMN 1.1 for all elements, attributes, connectors and diagrams under the selected Package or element.
Example
The following VB script calls the MigrateToBPMN11() function to migrate the Tagged Values to BPMN 1.1:
Sub MigrateElement (sGUID, lngPackageID)
Dim proj as EA.Project
set proj = Repository.GetProjectInterface
proj.MigrateToBPMN11 sGUID, "BPMN"
'refresh the model
If lngPackageID<>0 Then
Repository.RefreshModelView (lngPackageID)
End If
End Sub
Sub MigrateSelectedItem
Dim selType
Dim selElement as EA.Element
Dim selPackage as EA.Package
selType = GetTreeSelectedItemType
If selType = 4 Then 'means Element
set selElement = GetTreeSelectedObject
MigrateElement selElement.ElementGUID, selElement.PackageID
MsgBox "Complete",0,"BPMN 1.1 Migration"
ElseIf selType = 5 Then 'means Package
set selPackage = GetTreeSelectedObject
MigrateElement selPackage.PackageGUID, selPackage.PackageID
MsgBox "Complete",0,"BPMN 1.1 Migration"
Else
MsgBox "Select a Package or Element in the Project Browser to initiate migration",0,"BPMN 1.1 Migration"
End If
End Sub
Sub Main
MigrateSelectedItem
End Sub
Main
Notes
· | In BPMN 1.0, various tags have free-text direct-entry value fields, and you can provide additional information on these tags in the Tagged Value Note dialog, for display at the bottom of the Tagged Values window In BPMN 1.1, some of these tags (such as the Categories tag on a BusinessProcess stereotyped element) have been changed to Memo type, and you use the Tagged Value Note dialog to enter the value; therefore, you cannot have additional notes for these tags, all information must be within the tag's value |
· | For such tags, when migrating from BPMN 1.0 to BPMN 1.1, the BPMN 1.0 tag value is moved into the BPMN 1.1 tag Notes field and the BPMN 1.0 tag notes are discarded; if you want to preserve the tag notes text, take a copy of the BPMN 1.0 model before migration to enable you to copy the tag notes text into the tag value after migration |
