Method filter requirements
The following tooltip messages are displayed if you move the mouse pointer over the warning icon (
) that is displayed if a method filter does not support at least one of the provided model types, included object types, or connection types.
If the message "The target model type is not supported for this filter" is displayed, it means that the respective model type is not available:
MT_ENTERPRISE_BPMN_PROCESS (Enterprise BPMN process diagram)
MT_ENTERPRISE_BPMN_COLLABORATION (Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram)
MT_EEPC (EPC)
If the message "The following required object types are not supported for this model:" is displayed, it lists those of the following object types which are not available for the model type:
OT_EVT (Event)
OT_FUNC (Function)
OT_RULE (Rule)
If the message "The following required connection types are not supported for this model:" is displayed, it lists those of the following connection types which are not available for the model type:
CT_ACTIV_1 (activates)
CT_IS_EVAL_BY_1 (evaluates)
CT_IS_PREDEC_OF_1 (is predecessor of)
CT_CRT_1 (creates)
CT_LEADS_TO_1 (leads to)
CT_LEADS_TO_2 (leads to)
CT_LNK_2 (links)
If a selected symbol type in an EPC model shows the message "The method filter does not allow connecting these symbols: …", this means that the filter method does not allow the required outgoing connections to those other selected symbols inside EPC models. The required connections are:
Selected symbol for | Connection type | Symbol type |
|---|---|---|
Start event | activates / CT_ACTIV_1 | Function |
Start event | evaluates / CT_IS_EVAL_BY_1 | AND rule XOR rule |
Function | is predecessor of / CT_IS_PREDEC_OF_1 | Function |
Function | creates / CT_CRT_1 | End event |
Function | leads to / CT_LEADS_TO_1 | AND rule XOR rule |
AND rule XOR rule | leads to / CT_LEADS_TO_2 | End event |
AND rule XOR rule | activates / CT_ACTIV_1 | Function |
AND rule XOR rule | links / CT_LNK_2 | AND rule XOR rule |
