Notes

  • Cancel, None and Signal Event types cannot be mapped to BPEL 1.1
  • Set either 'Time Cycle' or 'Time Date for Timer Trigger Type' but not both as they are mutually exclusive fields
  • For a Compensation Intermediate Event edge-mounted on an Activity, create a BPMN 1.1 Association from this event to the Compensation Activity; ensure that the IsCompensation tag for the Activity is set to true
  • Link Intermediate Event can be used either as a GOTO or an off-page connector; therefore, this event can have either incoming or outgoing Sequence Flows - but not both
