Optional: Automated process steps and services

Business services describe technical services from a business perspective. Capabilities describe the required functionality of these services.

Automated process steps and services

A process step is defined as automated by the assignment of a business service.

A capability assigned to the process step helps identify the correct business service.

A process step to which a business service is assigned is interpreted during model transformation into a BPMN diagram as an object of the Service task type. Additional organizational elements are ignored during transformation.

A business service represents a specific symbol type for an object of the Service type type. Other symbol types are not supported. The function must be linked to the business service via a connection of the supports type.
