Gateways
Gateways are described in detail in the context of the BPMN process diagram (see chapter Gateways).
See: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), version 2.0.
Mapping the attributes and model associations to ARIS
Class
BPMN attribute name
Implementation in ARIS
Gateway
inherits from FlowElement
Object type: Rule (OT_RULE)
 
gatewayDirection: GatewayDirection = unspecified { unspecified | converging | diverging | mixed }
The number of incoming and outgoing sequence flows depends on the modeling context, that is, the position of the gateway in the process. Thus, there is no ARIS attribute type representing the gateway direction. Gateways whose direction is unspecified or mixed should be avoided.
