Process models are used as templates for executing processes. Several processes can be based on the same process model.

Structure

A process model consists at least of the following elements:

·        Selection program

You determine the selection program as an attribute of a process model.

·        Program

A process model usually contains several programs to be executed one after the other or in parallel as individual process steps. You determine the behavior of a program in the process model by specifying the program category to which the program belongs. You can assign any number of programs to a program category.

You can also insert the following elements as additional process steps:

·        Breakpoint

·        Wait point
