Troubleshooting Issues with the BPMN Simulation Feature

When using the SAP Signavio Process Manager Simulation tool certain process conditions are required. If those conditions are not met, issues may occur when using the simulation tool. If you experience any issues when using the Simulation tool, read this section to troubleshoot those issues.

In order for a simulation to execute, the below conditions are required:

  • The syntax of the diagram must follow BPMN 2.0 syntax rules. The process flow mustn't be interrupted.

    The diagram must not infringe BPMN 2.0 syntax rules

  • To check if a diagram follows BPMN 2.0 syntax rules, use the Check syntax option in the Editor.

    Check syntax rules in the graphical Editor

  • Elements that affect the process flow, but cannot be clearly specified regarding their impact on the process flow, mustn’t be used. Example elements are the inclusive gateways, non-interrupting boundary events, conditional sequence flows, message flow and subprocess.

    The BPMN simulation feature does not support inclusive gateways
