Message Flow

Message Flow: If several pools are used to model a collaboration between different parties, the information interchange between the pools is marked with a message flow component.

Please note that message flows can only be used to visualize logical coherences!

When executing the Business Process on the X4 Server, only process components are interpreted as data and control flow elements that have been connected with sequence flow lines, see Sequence Flow.
