Business Process Model

I have strange situation where in the Business Process Summary my business flows all render correctly.

However, using PAGEXSL=business/core_bl_bus_process_model.xsl
for every process with a flow model I get the same error:

.. (skipping 15 lines) ....
(*) -down-> "" as
Syntax Error?
Did you mean:
(*) -down-> " as


Does the Business Flow model provide more functionality than the Business Process summary other than Zoom?

Any suggestions to get the diagramming working correctly are welcome.

Thank you. Rick

Hi Rick,

Can you post a screenshot of a sample process from Protege

Do you have the start and end nodes (black circles) in place for each process?

Thanks

Neil

Not used to this form type.

How do I upload screen shot?

Thanks. Rick

Hi Rick,

You can add a picture by using the upload attachment tab next to options. Alternatively, you can host a picture on an external site e.g. Dropbox and add the image using the "img" tag

Cheers

Neil

Have you specified the actual Business Processes for the Business Process Usages?

1. Select a Process Object (the corners will highlight in green)
2. Move the mouse over the object until the cursor turns to a finger/pointer.
3. Double click to define the attributes for the Business Process Usage
4. Choose the relevant Business Process for the selected usage.

Sometimes you need to resize the process object in order to get the finger/pointer to show.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers

Neil

Thank you Neil.

There were no BPs behind the diagram.

Sorry, I did not understand the need for that step from the documentation.

Regards, Rick
