The Business Process Modeling tutorials show you how to:
Create a Business Process Model (BPM) for analysis, and define some BPM objects
Generate a Sybase WorkSpace Business Process Model (WorkSpace BPM) from the analysis model
Generate a Business Process service from the WorkSpace BPM, and implement the service using the Business Process Service Editor
Sybase WorkSpace tools enable you to create the following types of BPMs:
Conceptual BPM (analysis BPM, using the Analysis process language) — so you can focus on high-level design issues. The conceptual BPM describes the business logic and rules from a business partner's point of view.
Executable BPM (such as a WorkSpace BPM, using the Sybase WorkSpace Business Process language) — so you can focus on the physical implementation details. The Sybase WorkSpace Business Process language is particularly suited to designing processes internal to an organization. The WorkSpace BPM enables you to implement business processes defined in an analysis BPM as Business Process services.
Sybase WorkSpace provides two types of diagrams that help you design a BPM:
Process hierarchy diagram — shows the static structure of the model. For more information on how to use a process hierarchy diagram, see the PowerDesigner Business Process Modeling User’s Guide, Chapter 4, “Building a Process Hierarchy Diagram” on the Sybase WorkSpace bookshelf in the Sybase PowerDesigner collection.
Business process diagram — shows interactions between model objects, from one or several start points to several potential endpoints.
