Quote case study

Requirements

Un architecte a nécessité de demander 2 devis (“quote” en anglais) auprès de 2 artisans différents. Les devis doivent arriver dans un temps limité. Si les 2 devis ne sont pas arrivés une fois ce temps écoulé, une 3e demande auprès d'un 3e artisan est initiée par l'architecte.

L'architecte considère le dossier « bouclé » par, a minima, l'aboutissement des 2 demandes initiales (réception des 2 devis associés). En cas de demande d'un 3e devis, le processus est réputé terminé par l'obtention des 3 devis. Le 3e devis ne peut en effet aucunement remplacer l'un ou l'autre des 2 devis initiaux.

BPMN Collaboration Diagram
Collaboration ⤳ Security (Enterprise Architect)

Security ☛ is the way users get permissions and/or restrictions against an Enterprise Architect project. Security policy is either “weak” (editing does not require locking) or “strong” (editing requires locking)

For instance, Atchoum adds a new element to a diagram. The latter is locked. Grincheux is then stuck with regard to this diagram until Reload Project occurs (explicitly or implicitly). While Grincheux is able to watch changes made by Atchoum (read), he cannot make his own changes (write)
