Title: BPMN:pools appaer under collaboration? why?
Post by: Jüri on September 08, 2014, 06:11:50 pm

Hi!

using version 11.1.1111
all pools created on businessprocess diagram are placed under collaborationmodel, why is this?

I created BPMN 2.0 businessprocess diagram.
placed businessprocess element on it.
opened created businessprocess (diagram)
added pool to the diagram.
as a result, EA created automatically CollaborationModel element in project browser and placed created pool under it. why is this? can I avoid that happening?
I would expect to have all businessprocess elements that I create listed under business process element they belong to.

any suggestions how to avoid that?

Thanks!

It's that way to follow the BPMN specification. Pools are Participants and Participants must be owned by a collaboration.

A Pool can be shown on a Process diagram, but the Pool is still owned by a collaboration. If you have your diagram under a Process element EA build 1111 will help you to create that situation too.
