Chapter 14 Generating Other Models from a BPM
To generate a BPM, you must choose between one of the following methods:
You must indicate the following parameters when you generate a new BPM:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Process Language | Target process language |
| Share | Process language for the resulting BPM uses a shared process language stored in the Process language library |
| Copy | Process language for the resulting BPM uses a copy of the process language stored in the Process language library |
| Name | File name for the resulting BPM |
| Code | Reference code for the resulting BPM |
| Configure Model Options | Lets you specify model options for the model to be generated. For example links to requirements in the origin model are preserved, by default, in the generated model, unless you clear the Enable Links Requirements checkbox in the Model Options dialog box before starting the generation |
During update, the start object is compared and merged in the Merge Model feature. Since starts should be unique in composite processes, the Merge Model feature checks that there is no additional start in a composite process. In an existing model, if you change generation target from Analysis or Collaborative to Executable, all start objects under composite processes are merged with the start objects that appear simultaneously in the same top-level diagram.
