{In BPMN, which is true about an association?

|type="()"}
-Data descriptions between two Messages are connected to the same pool with an event object as input to or an output from an activity.

{{Show Answer|
A directional Association is often used with Data Objects to show that a Data Object is either an input to or an output from an activity
}}
}

{What is wrong with the BPMN diagram?

[[File:EXTERN_0007.jpg]]

|type="()"}
-The sequence flow starts with an end event
-The sequence flow starts with an intermediate event
-The activity has no attached intermediate event
+An activity starts without a sequence flow

{{Show Answer|
An activity starts without a sequence flow
}}
}

{With respect to WSBPEL, a business process may:

|type="()"}
-Control the model driven architecture
-Be generated from UML activity models.

{{Show Answer|
Map to one or more documents

The marker indicates a message arrives from a participant

|type="()"}
+Divergence and convergence

{In the diagram, will the process continue after the merge?

[[File:EXTERN_0010.jpg]]

|type="()"}
-Only after one of the parallel activities is done
+Only when all of the other activities are completed.
-Only if all parallel activities simultaneously end

{
{{Show Answer|
Only when all of the other activities are completed.

{Question:
According to BPMN, the start event indicates what?

|type="()"}

{{Show Answer|
An event of where a particular Process will start
}}

{Which is the best practice for gateways in divergence and convergence?

|type="()"}
Response:

The same gateway should be started and ended with the same gateway

{What are other features of the Gateway?

|type="()"}

+It is a model element to control the sequence flow within a process and allows or disallows passage

It is a model element to control the sequence flow within a process and allows or disallows passage

{What is vision for BPMN?

|type="()"}

-Business rules are separated from the flow elements through gateways
-Business strategy is determined by process patterns which are developed and shared

It visually models business activities which become machine-executable code in WSBPEL

{There are many shapes in BPMN. What are four categories of BPMN shapes?

|type="()"}

{Which of these statements about lanes are true?

|type="()"}

They extend the length of the pool and there text can be oriented in any direction.

{What can be said about the association line?
