Connecting an Activity to an ActivityPartition
« on: May 15, 2010, 07:04:52 am »
while trying to generate my own BPMN 2.0 technology file, I get a problem to connect an Activity (UML-Type Activity) with a Pool (UML-Type ActivityPartition). Everytime I try to draw such a connector, I get a
"The requested Connection is not UML compliant"
error message.
Everything else works fine by now (quicklinks, toolbox, diagram, stereotypes etc).
Does anybody have an idea?

PS: I'm using a ControlFlow to connect...

Are you able to make the same connector manually?

If not, then you need to fix that problem - probably by using Tools|Options|Diagram [ ] Strict UML Syntax

HTH,

No, can't do it manually, but somehow the standard BPMN technology manages to create this connection.

I thought that it is maybe possible to disable the UML checking in a profile...

But I've now switched it from a ControlFlow to a Dependency. That works!

If you change the UML setting - does it allow the connection in the AI?
Are you changing the dependency to a control flow afterward?

The BPMN diagram is an extended Analysis diagram. EA doesn't do syntax checking on Analysis diagrams.
