It doesn't really affect the state of the workflow (except to indicate that the engine was able to successfully retrieve information needed to proceed).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If not, where are these tasks of retrieving information best done? On the task that needs them? Are these "get info" tasks supposed to be reflected in a BPMN?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If you feel this question is inappropriate here … or even if there's just a better forum to direct these types of questions to, I'd appreciate a pointer to it.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 23 Jan 2016 22:25:19 GMT richip 2016-01-23T22:25:19Z Information Requests in BPMN https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/information-requests-in-bpmn/m-p/235514#M188644 A general BPMN question here: are there guidelines in BPMN design that dictate whether to include a specific service task for a process that just gets information from one of the subsystems for use, say, in the next task?
