Designing a Transport element

Chapter 5 Building a Collaborative Business Process Model

Designing a Transport element

You design a Transport element using a resource with a <<Transport>> stereotype.

The name of this object is the Id of the Transport element. If the name of the resource object with a <<Transport>> stereotype is referenced by a Delivery Channel object, then the generation function produces a corresponding Transport element in the CPA template.

The following extended attributes (accessible from the Extended Attributes tab of the resource property sheet) apply to the Transport element. These attributes allow you to define technical parameters related to the Transport element. PowerDesigner generates CPA Transport element when a <<DeliveryChannel>> resource object references the corresponding resource objects:
