With BPMN, processes end with end events. A process must have at least one end event, but it may also have multiple end events. An end event closes the process instance and deletes the related persistent state object from the database.
Process instances are kept in the persistent state database: The instances are created on process start and deleted on process end. Refer to xUML Service State Machines for further information.
A process end is modeled by end events.
Process instances are kept in the persistent state database and they are deleted at process end:
When the end state of the BPMN is reached, the meta state Done of the root machine is reached.
The instance is deleted from the Done state after the holdTime expires.
The default holdTime is 60 seconds (PT60S). You can change the value in the service settings in the integration application (Bridge).
One BPMN element is available to model process ends:
