More Start & End Events
More BPMN - Events

BPMN Events - Something that happens (signals) during the course of a process that affects the sequence or timings of the activities of a process Can occur
At the Start - Start Event At the End End Event In the Middle Intermediate Event
Two Types Throw : Produced by the Process ( End Events & some Intermediate Events fall under this category)
Send Message Throw Exception Wait for x amount of time
Catch : Consumed by the Process (Start Events & some Intermediate Events fall under this category)
Catch Exceptions (Timeout, Exceptions) Receive Message
Start Event Types

Start event:
Listens to external signals and creates a new process instance. Multiple Start Events can be used to trigger a process. Common Types of Start Events - markers used to denote the different types of triggering mechanisms: None Called from a Main process. Sub-processes must always start with None Start Event. Message Triggered by the arrival of a Message. Message is a special type of data and is used to show data exchanges in the context of process interactions. Timer Triggered based on some schedule. It can be a fixed timestamp or a regularly occurring event. Signal Triggered based on the arrival of a subscribed signal via broadcast mechanisms. The sender is unknown in this case and the Signal Start Event listens on a well known topic.
BPMN by Example Message Start Event
Arrival of a Message triggers the process
BPMN by Example Multiple Start Events

The process is started by the arrival of the event via multiple channels
Multiple start events (similar to BPEL Pick) can be used to trigger the process. The first event that arrives triggers the process. Note : XOR Event Gateway is not needed for multiple start events in 11gR1. A subsequent patch will include support for XOR Event Gateway in the beginning of the process in accordance with BPMN specification.
BPMN by Example Trigger Process Using Initiate Task

Initiate Task
Initiate Task
Initiate Task is an Oracle extension to BPMN 2.0. It can be used to trigger the process from the Task Work list Form. This Task is always preceded by a Start Event of type None. The assignee is calculated from the Role associated with the swim lane.
End Event Types

End event:
Signifies end of the process path and is generated by the process upon completion Multiple End events are possible Process completes only when all Paths are completed Common Types of End Events None Normal Completion. The control passes to the subsequent step in the main process if a subprocess completes normally Message Sends a Message before Completion. This Message can in turn trigger other processes. Signal Broadcasts (publishes) signal before Completion. Error Throws Error Before Completion. The process gets terminated and aborts other paths that might still be in execution. Used as a way to trigger exceptions from the subprocess to a main process.
BPMN by Example Multiple End Events

Message End Event
Another Message End Event
Combination of Gateways and multiple End Events. Only one of the Message End Event is reached in this example.
BPMN by Example Abrupt Process Termination
The process is terminated when Order Canceled event is reached even if the Order Parts or Assemble Product is still active.
Error End Event
When an Error End Event is reached, the process or the sub-process terminates even if all other parallel paths are still active.
Useful for propagating errors from the sub-process to parent process.
Implementation of Message Start Event

Message Start Event:
Conversation is automatically set to Initiates You can either create a Service interface on the fly (or) Browse for an existing Service from the Business Catalog Choose asynchronous or synchronous operation Define the Payload Name the Operation
Implementation of Message End Event

Message End Event: Conversation is automatically set to Continues It will show a list of Message Endpoints that can send messages You need to select the Process and the Node (end point) that is initiating this conversation
Implementation of Timer & Signal Events

Timer Event
The Timer Events are used for scheduling the process instantiation or for waiting for a specific time period Two ways to specify time: Specific date time Scheduled, recurring time period
Signal Event
The Signal Events are used for publishing or subscribing to a well known topic using broadcast mechanisms Browse for Events specified in the Business Catalog
Implementation of Error Event

The Error Events catches or throws Business and System Exceptions Define Business Exceptions
Go to the Business Catalog, rightclick, select New option and choose Business Exception This launches the Business Exception wizard. Choose or create a folder under Business Catalog By Default, the type of the Business Exception is set to String You can edit the Business Exception to change the type
Implementation of Error Event

Go to the Implementation tab of the End Event and choose the desired Business Exception (or) You can select Catch All Business Exceptions. You can also browse the list of System Exceptions and select the System Faults.
BPMN Process as a Service
BPMN by Example Process as a Service

Receive Reply
Exposing Process as a Service

To expose the Process as a Service, use Message Start Event and Message End Event The Process then becomes a Service Provider and can be invoked via a Service interface by other BPMN or BPEL processes The Message Start Event and corresponding Message End Event transforms into end points (Operations) The Event Sub-process (in-line fault handlers) are used for handling faults

BPMN Intermediate Events & Process to Process Communication
More BPMN Intermediate Events

Intermediate Events occur in the middle of the process
Some Intermediate Events are of type Catch and some of type Throw Throw symbols are shaded while Catch symbols are not The Catch Events wait or block for appropriate signals while the Throw events proceed after throwing the signal
Throw Intermediate Events
throw Message Intermediate Event Send a Message to message to another participant (or process). Used for request-response and receive-reply scenarios throw Signal Intermediate Event Publish or broadcast a signal
Catch Intermediate Events
catch Timer Intermediate Event Acts as a delay mechanism. Based on a specific time date or time cycle catch Message Intermediate Event Receives Message. Used for requestresponse and receive-reply scenarios catch Signal Intermediate Event - Subscribes to a broadcasted Signal
BPMN by Example Wait for a Specific Time Period

catch Timer Intermediate Event
The catch events that occur in the middle of the process blocks or waits for the events to occur.
The execution is stalled and does not proceed until the event arrives.
Timer Intermediate Event is of Catch type only. There is no equivalent Throw type for Timer Intermediate Event. The Timer Events use the system clock for scheduling.
BPMN Process to Process Communication
Service Task is used for invoking another BPMN process exposed as a synchronous service Process Quote step is a Service Task that is invoking Validate Quote synchronous BPMN process
Remote Fault thrown by the BPMN Synchronous process invocation is caught using the catch Error Boundary Event
Validate Quote - BPMN synchronous service
Fault thrown by the BPMN Synchronous process
BPMN by Example Asynchronous Invocation using Send & Receive Tasks
Send and Receive Tasks are used for asynchronous communication. Send Task sends a Message and Receive Task receives a Message.
Send Task in the middle of the process is the same as the Message Intermediate Event of throw type. Receive Task at the beginning of the process is the same as the Message Start Event. Note : You cannot use Send and Receive Tasks for asynchronous communication between 2 BPMN processes in BPM 11gR1. You will have to use throw Message Intermediate Event and catch Message Intermediate Event.
BPMN by Example Asynchronous Invocation using Message Events.

throw Message Intermediate Event catch Message Intermediate Event
A throw Message Intermediate Event (send) followed by catch Message Intermediate Event (receive) is asynchronous requestresponse scenario.
A catch Message Intermediate Event (receive) followed by throw Message Intermediate Event (send) is receive-reply scenario.
BPMN by Example Asynchronous Invocation

XOR Event Gateway
The customer can either accept or reject quote and the sequence of activities are different in these cases. You can also include a catch Intermediate Timer Event to handle time out exceptions
XOR Event Gateway is used for conditional branching based on alternative incoming events (Message, Signal, Conditional-Rule, Timer) rather than data conditions. The first Event to arrive/triggers win. Any Events that arrive later are ignored. It does not have conditional expressions on the outgoing sequence flows.
Exception and Event Handling
Attached (Boundary) Events

Intermediate Events can be attached to an activity or sub-process boundary They are of type Catch and referred to as Boundary or Attached Events They have only 1 outgoing sequence flow that leads to Event Handling path Useful for Exception and Interruption Handling Types
attached Error Event Catches error thrown by the activity or sub-process. Errors have unique identifiers. There can be multiple attached Error events for catching the various types of errors being thrown by the activity or sub-process. attached Timer Event - Catches time-out exceptions (specialized type of error) thrown by the activity or sub-process. attached Message Event Catches Message sent by another participant or process.
BPMN by Example Boundary Events

Error Boundary Event (for catching exceptions) Timer Boundary Event (for catching time out exceptions)
Exception Paths
Error Handling activity
The Error and Timer boundary events are triggered if the activity to which they are attached is not yet completed.
BPMN by Example Subprocess Boundary Events
Exception Path
Approve Quote - Embedded subprocess
Boundary Error Event attached to sub-process.
Event Subprocess
Advanced BPMN Event Subprocess

The Event Sub-Process is contained within a process or a subprocess. It is not applicable to a Task.
It is marked with a dotted line boundary and triggered by a Start Event. It does not have incoming or outgoing sequence flows. It can be collapsed or expanded. When collapsed, it has the marker of the Start Event.
Types of Start Events for Event Subprocess

Message, Error, Timer, Signal The Start Events can be Interrupting or non-Interrupting type. The only exception to this rule is Error Start Event. It is always of interrupting type.
It has access to the data of its parent scope as a snapshot at the point in time when its parent completed.
Just like boundary events it listens for external signals but instead of transferring outside of the activity it runs within the activity (process / subprocess).
BPMN by Example Error Event Subprocess
Interrupting Error Event Sub-process
BPMN by Example Timer Event Subprocess
Non-Interrupting Timer Event Sub-process
BPMN by Example Message Event Subprocess
Non-Interrupting Message Event Sub-process
Implementation of Events
Implementation of Send Task

Refers to an asynchronous send. Send Task can either initiate the conversation (asynchronous request-response) or reply to a conversation (receive-reply). Send Task as initiator: Choose the initiate option. Browse for an existing Service or a Message End Point in the Process from the Business Catalog. Send Task as reply: Choose the Continues option. It will show a list of Receive Tasks in the same process. The Send Task has only input arguments.
Implementation of Receive Task

Receive a message. Receive Task can either initiate the conversation (receive-reply) or reply to a conversation (request-response). It can also initiate the process Receive Task as initiator: Choose the initiate option. You can either create a Service interface on the fly (or) Browse for an existing Service or Process from the Business Catalog. Receive Task as reply: Choose the Continues option. It will show a list of Send Tasks in the same process. The Receive Task has only output arguments.
Loop & Multi-instance Markers
BPMN Loops using Activity Markers

Markers or icons can be added to Tasks or Subprocesses to illustrate further semantic context around Task behavior.
Loop Marker
Used to create a For loop. Implementation Attributes :
Loop Condition (Expression) Loop Maximum (Integer) Loop condition evaluation time
Beginning ( while - 0 or more) End ( until - 1 0r more)
Looping Subprocess
BPMN Loops using Multi-Instance Marker

Multi-instance marker is a wrapper for the Activity to execute the activity multiple times. It is used when the same path in the process needs to be executed more than one time. Activities can be executed either:
Parallel Multi-instance subprocess
Sequential Multi-instance subprocess
sequentially (instances are generated sequentially) parallel (all instances are generated first and executed in parallel).
Number of instances depends on either:

Loop cardinality attribute
Number of instances in the incoming data (usually an Array).
