How to model a parallel process in BPML

[Former Member]

I've just started using BPML to model a process for CAF. In the process, there will be a block of steps that will have to be repeated for a list of employees, in parallel.

I want to model the parallel process in a BPML diagram; I've had a look through some introductory texts, but cannot see a way that I can represent a parallel process. Also, the exact number and identity of the employees is unknown at run time.

Can anybody help with this?

Hello Arun,

I am using Microsoft Visio with a BPMN stencil:

I am using it in accordance with the SAP white paper "Guidelines for Specifying Composite Applications.pdf"
