Process Invocation link to Terminate Element

[Sergiy]

Hello,

I am unable to link an Invocation of a BusinessProcess on a BPMN diagram to a Terminate elelment with a Sequence Flow link. However, my colleague, who has the same version of EA is able to do it. I tried doing this within a swimlane, within a swimlane in a pool and just on a diagram. Neither option works.

Would appreciate any thoughts on why this may be happenning?

Thanks,

Sergiy

You are missing some information so we can help you :

#1 - Do you have a security enabled model? Are you missing some permissions?
#2 - Is it the only action that you cannot do in your model?

By the way, i'm not a BPMN expert so I don't know if the type of relation you want to do is or isn't BPMN compliant.

Hi,
thanks for the suggestion.
1. We do have a security enabled model, however all users have the same rights (we checked).
2. It seems that I am unable to add the Sequence Flow from an Invocation of a Business process to Actions as well.

We narrowed the problem to the operating systmes. I have a Windows 7 (x32) and my colleague, who is able to make those links, a has Windows XP Professional (x32) system. When he is logged onto my PC, he is also unable to perform those actions.

Thanks,

Sergiy

I'd suggest to contact Sparx support directly per mail. Seems the BPMN professionals are all on holiday right now...

What do you mean by "Invocation of a BusinessProcess"? What message do you get when you try to create the SequenceFlow?

My hunch is that your error message says "Invalid source for the Sequence Flow" which suggests your invocation is not a BPMN element at all, but a UML Action element. In which case, you either need to use BPMN Activity elements instead of UML Actions, or go to Tools|Options|Links and switch off the "Strict Connector Syntax" option.

Yes, that's exactly what was happenning.
Thank you for advice!
