Linking BPMN DataObject / DataStore to a Table in DataModel

[Michel777]

Hi,

how to link to an BPMN DataObject / DataStore to a Table / View in DataModel ?

Thanks,

Michel

With a dependency? Depends (!) on what you want to express.

This is only for documentation purposes.  I use several tables and views  within some processes.  I want to see the name of thsoe tables / views on the BPMN diagram and I would like to see their columns by clicking on the DataStore / DatzaObject or better: in a Tooltip.

Hard to imagine, especially since I'm not using BPMN. But maybe the traceability window will get you where you want?

Thanks for your time with my case. I found a solutuion (not BPMN conform) :  I simply copied  teh tables / views as reference  on the the BPMN Model. It works. Cheers, Michel

Hi.

That will work, but you risk that the diagram gets crowded with to many associations.

We had a similar approach at a client, but ended up with using a custom table in the diagram, showing the links from activities to data stores instead.
