Issue 15752: Terminate End Event in a Choreography with many Participants (bpmn2-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: i) Chapter/Section  11.5.3. Page 354. Table  11.8.  Row “Terminate”. It says:
“The use of the Terminate End Event really only works when there are
only two (2) Participants. If there are more than two (2) Participants, then any
Participant that was not involved in the last Choreography Task would not necessarily
know that the Terminate End Event had been reached.”


ii) Chapter/Section  11.6.5.  Page 371. Figure 11.48.
Four (4) Participants (Purchaser and Service Providers A, B, C) are involved, and it ends with a Terminate End Event.



COMMENTS:


According to (i), the  Terminate End Event in Choreography depicted in (ii) doesn’t work. 


In (i) it is said “any Participant that was not involved in the last Choreography Task would not necessarily know that the Terminate End Event had been  reached”, so it seems that in some cases Terminate End Event  could work when there are
More than  two (2) Participants.



SUGGESTIONS:

Clarify whether the  Terminate End Event in Figure 11.48 works or not.
