Chapter 4 Building Business Process Diagrams


Starts (BPM)

A start is a starting point of the whole process represented in a business process diagram. Its symbol is a solid circle as shown below:


A start can be created in a choreography diagram with any of the following target languages:

In decomposed processes, only one start is allowed per diagram, except for analysis business process diagrams. The Start tool is unavailable if a start symbol already exists. You should not use the same start in two diagrams, and you cannot create shortcuts of starts.

Note   Merging models
The start is compared and merged in the Merge Model feature. Since starts should be unique in decomposed processes, the Merge Model feature checks that there is no additional start in a decomposed process.
