BPSim: total time on subprocess [SOLVED]

[Zvolensky]

Hello
I'm trying to run a simulation to compare two forks in one flow,
One fork is just one activity, another is a sub-process (activity with its own sub-diagram)
I have put on Processing time on all activities, except the one with the sub-process (which i was hoping it will summarize all the processing times on all the activities in the sub-process)
After the simulation executes, i can see the Processing times on the one activity (without sub-process), the other one with the sub-process (as i have not set the processing time, hoping it will summarize the time of all underlying activities) is 0.
How can I find out the Processing time on an activity with a sub-diagram (sub-process)?
Thank you

I believe two steps will fix your issue:

    1. Double click the activity which you intended to model as sub-process, in the type combobox, select subProcess, OK to save it. (It was "abstract task" by default and you didn't set time parameter on it, that's why you got 0 for this "subProcess")

    2. Make sure the subProcess is valid. E.g. one simple valid process contains a start event, a Task, an end event.

I've just ran this case and it works:

StartEvent1->Task1->SubProcess1->EndEvent1
enlarge SubProcess1 and put following elements in it:
StartEvent2->Task2->Task3->EndEvent2

Then Configure BPSim Time parameters(ProcessingTime for example) on Task1 (10 minutes), Task2(2 minutes), Task3(3 Minutes);
The result:
Average Time on Task1: 10 Minutes
Average Time on Task2: 2 Minutes
Average Time on Task3: 3 Minutes
Average Time on SubProcess1: 5 Minutes (it is the summary of Task2 and Task3)

Hope that helps

Hello
Smashing! All was fine with my diagram except i forgot to mark the sub-process activity as a sub-process, I have just created a child diagram to which the activity was pointing to without changing the type of the activity. The Devil is in the details
Now it is working like a charm.
Thank you.
