Token Processing by a Task
When you run the simulation, tasks behave according to the parameters you have defined for each. By default, these parameters are valid for all scenarios.
To define the operating mode for a task:
In the editor, select the task in question. Its characteristics appear in the right pane of the editor.
The simulator does not take into account behaviors of tasks as defined specifically by the BPMN standard. For more details on these behaviors, see “Specifying Process Behavior", page 79. Behaviors Loop and Multiple must be described explicitly in the model. You can indicate:
• The task execution time.
• Task default cost.
For costs, the editor takes no particular currency into account .• The participants and resources participating in its execution:
• for a consumable resource, you can specify the quantity consumed by the task. See Other resources.
• For an IT service, you can indicate the number of points used. See Software resources.
Characteristics of consumer resources and IT services only appear if an object of this type is connected to the task.
