Chapter 14 Generating Other Models from a BPM
You can generate a BPM into a BPM when you need to keep two models synchronized during the design process.
This kind of generation allows you to create a copy of a given model and define generation links between objects in the source BPM and their equivalent in the generated BPM. When changes are made to the source model, they can then be easily propagated to the generated models using the Update Existing Model generation mode.
The generated model is the one that usually contains more information.
For example, once the Analyst team has designed the analysis model, the model can be submitted to the Development team for implementation.
You can use the BPM to BPM generation to generate an analysis or collaborative BPM into an implementation BPM designed for the different executable process languages supported in PowerDesigner (BPEL4WS, WS-BPEL, Sybase Unwired Orchestrator, and SOA).
