Quicklinker

[OpenIT Solutions]

Hi,

I want to add the built in "BusinessRule" to the BPMN 2.0 quicklinker so my users can form a dependancy between an Activity and a BusinessRule. I added the following to the quicklinker in my MDG (an extension of the standard bpmn2.0) xml file...

Activity,Activity,BusinessRule,BusinessRule,BPMN2.0::Business Process;BPMN2.0::Choreography;BPMN2.0::Collaboration;BPMN2.0::Conversation;BPMN2.0::BPEL;,,,Dependancy,,to,,,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,Common,0,,,TRUE,,



This quicklinker still works - but it doesn't provide a link to a BusinessRule as i'd expect...any ideas why ? Could it be something to do with the "BusinessRule" being a type that is not defined in the same mdg file as the quicklinker in question ? In which case is there a way around ?

Regards,

Jon.

Solved myself - errors in the quicklinker text - BusinessRule has an object type of Requirement and dependency spelt wrong...

Personally I find debugging MDG and the Quick Linker in particular a real PITA. For just a single addendum it's sufficient to directly manipulate the MDG file (watch you comma!). But for developing larger QL blocks the procedure is a pain. Having done all the MDG creation steps you test the QL with the alternative works/works not. Instead of that embedded table there should be something like a model which can be checked via rules.
