BPMN - intermediate event timer on an activity
« on: September 02, 2013, 08:56:46 am »
Hi,

I have seen examples of activities in BPMN where a timer is embedded in the activity as an intermediate event. I'm hoping to do the same but having some issues that I'm hoping you can help with.

Anyway I suspect that I need to left click on the activity and right click then embedded elements and add object node?

This creates the object node on the activity ok but I cant seem to be able to change it to a timer. I understand that I need to add a trigger to the object node in the tagged values

When i select the object node and look in tagged values the list is blank. I can add a tag of Trigger but then the value seems to be just memo rather than Timer.

Anyway thats the path Ive taken but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.  :)

Hi,

embedded / structered Element with EA 10.

Procedure:
  • Create an Activity
  • Drag an Intermediate Element from the toolbox on to the activity
  • Select edge mounted
  • Change BPMN2 tagged value  'eventDefinition' to timer
