Generate BPMN diagram from an EPC

A BPMN diagram can now be generated from the business process of the EPC model type. You can model data elements as shown in the example. Most customers model them that way. Currently, data elements are not included in the transformation of a business process into a BPMN diagram. However, for information purposes, data elements are useful.

Procedure

  1. Click ARIS > Explorer Explorer. The Explorer tab opens.
  2. Select the model of the EPC type in the Navigation bar or open an EPC.
  3. Activate the BPM tab bar.
  4. Click the model in the Navigation bar or click in the model background in the open model.
  5. Click Generate BPMN diagram Generate BPMN diagram. The semantic check runs automatically before the BPMN diagram is generated. You can also start the semantic check manually in order to test whether the EPC can be transformed.
  6. Enter the name of the BPMN diagram, and select the group in which you want to save the BPMN diagram. Add more comments to the current version of the model.

A BPMN diagram is generated from the EPC (BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0)). The diagram now has the status Transformed in the workflow. The newly generated BPMN diagram has the status Transformed from business process.
