ARIS Extended XPDL Attributes

ARIS Architect supports some extensions that Software AG Designer uses in its processes to allow a more complete process model exchange. These extensions are preserved as extended attributes in the XPDL during process transformation.

Extension	ARIS Extended Attribute
Error Handler	ext:errorHandler=”error handler Activity ID”
Cancel Handler	ext:cancelHandler=”cancel handler Activity ID”
Timeout Handler	ext:timeoutHandler=”timeout handler Activity ID” Additional timeoutHandler attributes: ext:isStaticTimeout=”true or false” ext:timeoutValue=”static timeout value in milliseconds (does not apply if the timeout is not static)”

When you import an ARIS model with these extended attributes, Designer recognizes the appropriate handler activities.
