Chapter 8 Building an Executable BPM: Managing Data and Choreography
An end is a termination point of the processes described in the business process diagram. It represents an interface with the outside world.
The global definition of the end in an executable BPM is mainly the same as in other BPM views (Analysis and Collaborative). However some properties or behaviors are added or modified, in order to fully the executable BPM.
For more information about the global definition of the end, see section Defining ends in chapter Building an Analysis Business Process Model.
A Termination stereotype is provided to specify the immediate end of the whole process without error.
You can create several ends within the same business process diagram. However, when parallel branches terminate in distinct end objects, an implicit synchronization is defined before the whole process ends.
