WorkflowState Import

This import plug-in reads a given WorkflowState file (see XML Schema definition ) and converts it into a CPN input file that can be used together with a generated CPN model. See also this tutorial for how to generate simulation models with current state support.

Usage

The WFState import can be invoked by choosing File –> Open supported file … from the menu, locating the WFS file to be converted, and then choosing the type 'Workflow State file'. Note that this plug-in has not been released yet.

Assumptions
  • The time unit of the generated current state file should match the time unit of the generated simulation model. See Global Settings of High-level process .
  • For simplicity we currently automatically convert the state for the first process specification found in the WFS file. Therefore, we recommend to export separate state files per process, or re-order the process states in the file accordingly.
