General Board / BPMN and reporting its relationships

« on: November 13, 2015, 10:51:41 am »

Hi,

We have developed a number of business processes using Sparx. We would like to report on the processes developed so far by identifying relationships between BPMN Pools and BPMN Lanes, between BPMN Lanes and BPMN Activities across multiple BPMN processes. Our BPMN processes span across multiple packages.  

We see there is no explicit Sparx relation between BPMN Lanes and BPMN Activities we can access, but that relationship certainly exists. Is there any way someone can help us access the relationship and possibly report on it?

Many thanks in advance,
Darcy

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Managing element synonyms

I could use aliases, but EA holds only one alias. Ideally, we need 3, and then just switch diagram parameter.  

I will try that meta-classes approach. Thanks!

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Managing element synonyms

Hi all,

We are trying to architect a model for an application implementation across multiple clients at the same time. As you can imagine, although the elements and the relationship between them are the same (morphologically, they are identical), actual name of those elements and the name of the relationships between them is in fact very different.

Does anybody think there could be a way of presenting the EA diagrams (UML and BPMN primarily) by overlapping diagrams with the "jargon/synonym translation" rules and customise the diagrams in a way to better fit individual clients.  

We would not like to make if more complicated then it already is. We understand the UML patterns could help, but that would be lots of work.
Hope somebody already came across this problem.

Thanks,
Darcy
