You need to have installed Professional Edition including BizTalk extension.
Please ask for an evaluation key.

Hi there,

In the current release, the simulation will unfortunately ignore the loop attribute and will execute the activity just once. This has been fixed in the new PM SR5 release (to be released in a few days). The simulation will step through the activity as many times as indicated by the attribute LoopMaximum.

In programming terms, the standard loop corresponds to a ‘while’ or ‘do until’ loop, whereas the multi-instance loop behaves like a ‘foreach’ loop.

Marco,
This happens if the information has not been entered correctly.
Most happen fault: copy/paste including trailing blank (just remove trailing blank on the end of the strings) or not all digits are copied or simple input error.

Hi Mario,

Unfortunately, right now, expressions are not evaluated during simulation. Process Modeler 6 will introduce ‘instance properties’, which allows to evaluate expressions and variables.

Hi Peter,

You can update the repository license by using Repository Adminstration. Repository Administration is part of the Process Modeler software, but is not installed by default. To install Repository Administration, rerun the Process Modeler setup and choose ‘Custom’. Then simply check the ‘Repository Administration’ option.

The license is stored in a table named ‘repository_info’.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jim,

Please try to update Visio to the latest Service Pack 3. This issue should have been solved in one of the updates.

Hope this helps.

Brent,

We now understand the problem. That’s true, if you use an event based gateway, you cannot set the probabilities for each gate, cause as the event based gateway implies, the gate to be chosen is driven by the first occurance of one of the intermediate events! So you probably using the wrong gateway type.

To simulate your scenario, simply exchange the event based gateway with an exclusive gateway, then set the probabilities and set the correct KPI wait time and TimeCycle (now you do not need to randomize the duration).

We will investigate that further…

Thanks and Regards,

Brent,

Could you probably explain, what you mean by ‘it does mean that I have less control of the simulation of downstream sequence flows’? What’s is exactly your goal? Probably there is a better way…

And you a right, the user should not be able to change the probability of a sequence flow in normal flow, that doesn’t make much sense.

Hi there,

Right now, you cannot really customize the output of the simulation. The existing sheets cannot be changed, but you can simply add new sheets which refers to the existing ones to get a customized result!

Hi Brent,

If you enable the simulation validation, you would see that the probability in normal flow should always be 100%, otherwise it can happen, that a process instance will never finish!

To ‘randomize’ for example the start of the message event, you have to set the KPI wait time to any value and you have to use standard deviation. Do the same for the TimeCycle attribute.

The format for TimeCycle and KPI wait time is the following: hh:mm:ss.millis. For example you entered 14:00:00.000 in the TimeCycle attribute, that means, it always waits 14 hours, until this event occurs and in the meantime. For the message intermediate event, it occurs always immediately, since the KPI wait time is set to 00:00:00.

Hope this explanation helps.

Hi there,

You can print out the system defined attributes in your process documentation using the following parameter e.g.:

%%System.*.KPIDuration%%
%%System.*.KPICost%%

Hope this helps.

Hi Roger,

Simply use your Oracle 9g installation for the Process Modeler. Do the following steps:

1. Rerun the Process Modeler setup (use the newest download) and choose ‘Customize…’. Install ‘SOX Extension’ and ‘Repository Installation Wizard’.
2. Run the ‘Repository Installation Wizard’
3. Choose ‘Custom Setup’
4. Choose ‘Oracle’
5. Follow the wizard

Hope this helps.

Hi Roger,

1. That’s true, you cannot use the SOX Edition without the Team Repository.

2. You just need to have either a MySQL, MSSQL or Oracle database. The installation is done with the Repository Installation Wizard shipped with the Process Modeler download.

3. The simplest is to download and install MySQL. Then rerun the Process Modeler setup (use the newest download) and choose ‘Customize…’. Install ‘SOX Extension’ and ‘Repository Installation Wizard’.

4. Unfortunately, right now there doesn’t exist a technical guideline.

Hi Szilvia,

Yes, the Team Repository is running on both versions of SQL Sever 2005 and 2008.
