Hi All,

 I was looking at some of the BPMN diagrams and I needed views on depiction of interaction across pools.

  1. Where should simple message connectors across functions in pools suffice?
  2. Where should catching and throwing message events be used instead? Also, should these be occurrence copies of each other?
  3. Where should a single message event be used between the two functions across pools.

Also, should "link event" pairs be occurrence copies of each other?

Best Regards,

Saakshi

There was a discussion about the proper style of message usage elsewhere - this can give you some hints.

To your questions: Yes, you should use occurence copies of the events IMHO since this enables you to "jump" to the other occurence in the model (or another model). In regards to the pools, I recomend that you will look only at a process in one pool and use black boxes for the other ones, which then will be modeled in other diagrams.
