Instantiation interval

Description

The Instantiation interval object type is available in the Process instantiation model model type. An instantiation interval describes how many process instances are to be created for a start event at a specific point in time. An instantiation interval is defined by the following attributes: - Relative interval start - Interval duration - Number of process instances - Distribution - Repeat in cycles - Periods. Example of the contents of an instantiation interval: The instantiation interval describes a day with 24 hours. It begins at 8:00 am, has a duration of 2 hours, defines a number of process instances, e.g., 50, and stipulates a normal distribution with the values mu=9.00 (absolute point in time), sigma=30 min. This means that at 9:00 am, 50 process instances are created according to the normal distribution and with a standard deviation of 30 minutes. In the case of a defined process, 50 processes are started with equal distribution at the beginning of a workday at 8:00 am.
