In Scheer PAS Designer you have two options to use data in your UML activity diagram:
- Local data are only available for use within the current execution.
- Persisted data are usable in all executions of the BPMN model.
On this page we explain how to persist data in the Designer and how to use the persited data in your execution model.
How to Persist Data
If you want to persist the data of an object, you need to perform the following steps:
Drag a type from your library and drop it in section Persisted on the execution canvas. For further information about objects on the execution canvas see page Adding Objects. | |
| By default a persisted object gets assigned the name of its type. | |
| You can change the name of persisted objects to one of your own choice by double-clicking the name. A list shows the names already in use. |
| Draw an object flow to assign a value to the persisted object. |
Using Persisted Data
| You can access all available persisted objects via section Persisted. Click on the |
| You can use the search to narrow down the content of the list. | |
Select the object you need to use. | |
MultiExcerpt named persisted_object_added was not found -- Please check the page name and MultiExcerpt name used in the MultiExcerpt-Include macro | |
| MultiExcerpt named second_persisted_object was not found -- Please check the page name and MultiExcerpt name used in the MultiExcerpt-Include macro |
| Now you can connect the persisted object with the corresponding pin of the operation. This applies to input as well as to output pins. Detailed information about the handling of pins can be found on page Adding Operations. |
