New Toolbox based on BMN2.0
« on: May 28, 2014, 01:14:24 am »
Hi,

I am trying to configure a new toolbox based on BPMN 2.0 Elements.
Unfortunately I am not able to position start, intermediate and end events into my diagram. Presumably the stereotypes "BPMN2.0::Start Event", "BPMN2.0::Intermediate Event", "BPMN2.0::End Event" are not correct".

Any help would be highly appreciated.   :)

Best regards from Germany

I think you'll need to recreate the hidden toolboxes that are used to show the popup menus for those types.

Hi Simon,

thank you for your fast answer. Why do "events" behave differently from "gateways"? Reusing a BPMN-gateway within my customized toolbox was no problem - the hidden menu shows up.
Anyway . I tried your advise and this still doesn't work. Could you please confirm the exact BPMN2.0 syntax which is used in EA? What would be the name of the sub menu - I tried with BPMN2.0::End Event for the stereotype and e.g. BPMN2.0::Edge-mounted(BPMN2.0::End Event) for an attribute?

I appreciate your help.

Best regards
Jens

Try putting BPMN2.0::EndEvent(UML::Event) and BPMN2.0::EndEvent(UML::ObjectNode) directly into your toolbox (don't worry about sub-menus to begin with)

Hi,

thank you very much for your help. I am able to position the events now.

Just annother issue. I ahev realized, that the BPMN Quick Linker are not showing up. How can I resolve this?

Thank you.

Best regards
Jens

The BPMN 2.0 quicklinks are defined to only apply on BPMN 2.0 diagrams. (This was done to prevent conflict between different versions of BPMN - doesn't really help you though)
