Contact your account manager to acquire
these interfaces that work with all process modeling clients (e.g.
iGrafx FlowCharter). The XPDL and XML features are available for
no charge.
La interfaz iGrafx® BPEL es una extensión para cualquiera
de los clientes de diseño de procesos de iGrafx y esta diseñada
para los departamentos de IT que implantan procesos de negocios
en un entorno de ejecución. Esta solución permite
a las compañías documentar, mejorar e implantar procesos
de negocios clave en un sistema de ejecución de su elección.
XPDL
XML Process Definition Language
Like iGrafx® BPEL, iGrafx® XPDL export is designed for IT departments
deploying business processes to an execution environment or workflow
tool. XPDL contains elements describing the position of activity
shapes in process maps as well as the coordinates of points along
the lines that link those activities. This distinguishes XPDL
from BPEL which is also a process definition format, but BPEL
focuses exclusively on the executable aspects of the process.
BPEL does not contain elements to represent the graphical aspects
of a process diagram.
XML
Extensible Markup Language
XML is a general-purpose markup language that can be exported
from iGrafx models and imported to iGrafx to create models. XML
can be used to interchange data across different information systems
including web services and process execution environments. Because
iGrafx XML files contain all data associated with a model, it’s
possible to round-trip (export and then import) iGrafx XML files
without loss of data. The iGrafx XML schema defines the names,
allowable hierarchy, and meanings of the elements and attributes
of XML files.
