Suggestions and Requests / Re: Import  BPEL WSDL

« on: February 21, 2012, 10:49:35 pm »

A somewhat late reply, but I found the answer a while ago and I want to share it with you. From you execution XML (=BPEL) the tools are not able to create the according diagram. the key to answer your question is XMI (OMG's interchange format). If you can export your diagram from your source diagramming application into XMI then you can import your diagram to an other diagramming tool. You can then also conclude that every tool makes its own specific BPEL code and has other diagramming rules.

General Board / BPMN questions

« on: February 22, 2012, 12:23:54 am »

I want to use EA92 as our central BPMN/BPEL tool. We now use a separate modeling tool (Intalio) for BPMN to BPEL conversion and EA for tasks as Master Data management and EDI mapping and infrastructure modeling. A single tool would help us in aspects as traceability and manageability.
However there are some questions I cannot find the answer for, yet:
Does anyone have a shareable example EAP that does the following:
1. Activities that call external web services
2. Usage of XPath expressions
3. Copy of variables (bpel:from copy bpel:to)
Or if anyone can point me to a detailed tutorial (other than the standard Sparx tutorials) you will definitely make my day.
Regards.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / BPMN 2.0

Currently Enterprise Architect 8 supports BPMN 1.1. I could not find any link to an update to BPMN 2.0. When will the MDG Technology framework for BPMN 2.0 made available for download?
Kind Regards.
