Invocation of an Activity on a BPMN diagram

[OpenIT Solutions]

Hi,

We need to cater for a situion where a given bpmn activity may be executed in multiple regions and each region will have different data in tagged values.

On the face of it we can cater for this by adding a base bpmn Activity to a default/gold standard process diagram, then creating a new diagram for each region and adding an "Invocation" of the activity to these regional diagrams and updating the tagged values as required.

This all works fine, with one small problem. The shapescript associated with the BPMN Activity in the bpmn mdg file is not applied to the Invocation of the Activity, the "Action".

I've tried editing the AppliesTo section in the MDG file to add an Apply type=Action" section...but to no effect.

Anyone got any suggestions ? Is the requirement/question clear ?

Appreciate any help,

Jon.

Hi,

Seems i can answer some of my own questions - however my investigation has left me with more questions.

It appears that the Action (the invocation) will depict certain parts of the shapescript but not all ! taskType has no effect, activityType and loopCharacteristic do.

Seems a bit flaky. Anyone have experiance ? Also for this approach to work form me i need to be able to link my Invocation to a new child diagram - not that associated with the classifier (the activity). Again anyone know how to do this - all the normal tricks don't work ??

Regards,


Jon.
