RTF with Elements from foreign Package

[MikeWyatt]

Hi

I am trying to generate an RTF for a package. The package contains a BPMN Activity. The Activity has pools and lanes qualified with instance classifiers and some data objects.

The classifiers and data objects reside in another package, i.e. all roles and data objects are held in one place for reuse by all process models.

When generating the RTF for the BPMN Activity package, I am unable to render the name and notes for either the classifiers or the data object elements.

I have set both the 'Include all Diagram Elements' in Report and 'Document Each Contained Element in RTF'. The template tree has the Package/Diagram/Element hierarchy all checked.

This seems routine, and I must be missing something obvious ...... anyone ?

Thank you

Hi MikeWyatt,

To get RTF for foreign element in a particular package or diagram, you can document them as a part of diagram elements instead of using element section. This will document all foreign element which are used in the current diagram as link or object.

Hope this helps..

Thanks, this partly works and gets me a little closer to my goal. It only resolves things if the BPMN diagram is an immediate child of the package being published. It didn't work if the diagram was a child of a BPMN activity element within the Package

Also, I have used instance classifiers on my Lanes and Pools. The classiefiers are defined remotely in another package. Is there no way to resolve these as part of RTF publish ?

I'm beginning to give up on the idea of re-using a catalogue of reference actors / roles for BPMN lanes and pools. Has anyone had any luck here ?

thanks
