Process Connectors

What are Process Connectors?

Process Connectors are used in process modeling to connect various components: process components to each other, process components to data components, and data components to process ports. They express process execution order, container operations, and data passing.

Key Points

Tips

• There are two main types of modeling objects: components and connectors. Components represent the tasks or data, while connectors are used to connect these components.
• While Annotation Lines can also connect objects on a canvas, they differ from Process Connectors. Annotation Lines are essentially annotations and do not influence the execution of the model. In contrast, Process Connectors are part of the model's graphical syntax and directly affect the outcome of the model.

• You cannot connect the same type of Process Connector between any two objects more than once.
• Process Connectors have their own property configurations, which are detailed in the chapters on Sequence Connectors, Container Operate Connectors, and State Connectors.
