Pool
A BPMN 2.0 Pool represents a Participant in a Process and does not map to any specific BPEL 2.0 element. Enterprise Architect uses Pools to represent external Participants, with which the BPEL Process communicates. These are 'black box' pools; that is, they are abstract and do not expose any details (they do not contain any BPMN 2.0 elements inside them).
BPEL Properties
- Double-click on the Pool in the BPEL diagram
- Right -click on the Pool | BPEL | BPEL 2.0 Properties

Notes
- A BPEL Process should not contain a Pool as its child element
- A BPEL diagram under a BPEL Process contains an implicit Pool, so it is invalid to add a Pool in this BPEL diagram to represent the BPEL Process
- Pool cannot have any incoming or outgoing Sequence Flow connectors - it can have only incoming or outgoing Message Flow connectors
