Process Synthesis from Activity Hierarchy and Activity Dependency

To perform Process Synthesis from the Activity Hierarchy and Activity Dependency Diagrams, you must complete the Process Hierarchy Diagram or Process Dependency Diagram as far as the parent process. To generate processes, you detail the non-elementary parent process. The generated processes become subordinates of the process that you detail.

The Activity Hierarchy Diagram and Activity Dependency Diagram are the only tools from which you can generate both action dialog and process boxes that appear in the Process Hierarchy and Process Dependency Diagrams. In the Process Hierarchy Diagram, a generated process appears on the activity hierarchy as a subordinate of a non-elementary parent process. In the Process Dependency Diagram, you must expand the parent process to see the generated process.

The advantage of using Process Synthesis from within the Activity Hierarchy Diagram and Activity Dependency Diagram is that you can generate five processes at one time, reflecting five types of action logic against the subject entity type.

The generated views and definition properties appear in the Process Hierarchy Diagram, Process Dependency Diagram, and Action Diagram. CA Gen indicates through expected effects in the Process Hierarchy Diagram and Process Dependency Diagram whether the process creates, reads, updates, or deletes an entity type.
