Exclusive Gateway

Use the Exclusive Gateway to model a decision in the process. The process will continue with the sequence flow where the defined condition is true. You can also define a default sequence flow (see Particularity).

• If you use an exclusive gateway, only one sequence flow is selected.

• If no condition evaluates to true and you have not defined a default flow, the xUML Runtime will throw an exception. We recommend avoiding this scenario.
