Pool

A BPMN 2.0 Pool represents a Participant in a Process and does not map to any specific BPEL 2.0 element. Enterprise Architect uses Pools to represent external Participants, with which the BPEL Process communicates. These are 'black box' pools; that is, they are abstract and do not expose any details (they do not have any BPMN 2.0 elements inside them).

Notes

A BPEL Process should not contain a Pool as its child element
A BPEL diagram under a BPEL Process contains an implicit Pool, so it is invalid to add a Pool in this BPEL diagram to represent the BPEL Process
Pool cannot have any incoming or outgoing Sequence Flow connectors - it can have only incoming or outgoing Message Flow connectors
