Representing execution historic with BPMN 2.0 meta-model


I'm using BPMN2.0 meta-model to represent process models. I cannot find any attributes to keep execution historic. I'm wondering if actually BPMN 2.0 does not support that, or if something escapes me?

In other words, my question is: is it possible to represent execution historic with BPMN 2.0 meta-model? if yes, how?

Thank you for your help.


Solution

  • BPMN supports the Elements Auditing and Monitoring. They are meant to be hooks for auditing and monitoring related properties. For the definition of such properties the extensibility mechanism is to be used. Actual definitions are out of the scope of the specification. So, the answer is, that BPMN supports this, but leaves the details to the user or the tool vendors.
