Data store

Unlike data objects, which live only as long as the process instance is running, a Data store represents information that persists beyond the lifetime of a particular process. On the business level, a Data store is represented by the symbol Data store of the ARIS object type Information carrier. This symbol is available in the Symbols bar.

On the business level, where the data structures and mappings are not included, data objects are represented in ARIS by six symbols of the object type Cluster/Data model:

BPMN: Data store symbol

A Data store inherits from FlowElement and ItemAwareElement.
