The table below shows all object types used in PPM graph format:
Object type |
Identifier |
Description |
---|---|---|
Function |
OT_FUNC |
Functions describe activities in the process. Function attributes are used to apply actual values for measure calculations. |
Event |
OT_EVT |
Events are process statuses and describe the status triggering a function and the result of executing a function. Process fragments are merged into process instances using events of the same type. |
Organizational |
OT_ORG |
Processors of a function can be assigned to organizational units by being made anonymous. The attributes of the organizational units are the basis for process cost accounting. |
AND rule |
OT_RULEAND |
Splits or consolidates a process flow. The two process paths that follow the AND rule are both run through. |
OR rule |
OT_RULEOR |
Splits or consolidates a process flow. At least one of the process paths that follow the OR rule is run through. |
XOR rule |
OT_RULEXOR |
Splits or consolidates a process flow. Only one of the process paths that follow the XOR rule is run through. |
Within a graph, an object is uniquely identified by its node id. The node id is found in the id XML attribute for the node XML element. Objects with the same node id are not allowed and are combined into a single object.
