Comparing BPMN Models

Use the Compare BPMN Models tool to view a list of differences between two BPMN Models. You can start the visual comparison tool from the folder tiles view by selecting the option Compare for a BPMN Model tile, or from inside the BPMN Modeler, by clicking the Compare Models icon from the toolbar.

The tool has two panels on the left and right where the BPMN diagrams to be compared are shown. The differences are shown in the panel at the bottom. You can also download a list of changes as a CSV file, by clicking the download button from the toolbar.

To compare two BPMN Models, follow these steps:

  1. Start the Compare BPMN Models tool from the tile or from a BPMN Model. By default, the diagram for this model is shown in the ride side panel.
  2. Click Select Model to select another BPMN Model to compare. You can select a model from the local folder tree structure or a model from the standard Infor content.
  3. To select a BPMN model from the standard Infor content, turn on the Browse Infor Industry Process Catalog switch. You can browse and select models from the IPCs for which you have an entitlement.
  4. Click Apply to return to the visual comparison tool and see the comparison results.

These types of differences are detected and highlighted in the comparison tool:

  • BPMN Model name
  • Elements added or removed
  • Element name or description changed
  • Element type changed (for example IT System, Task or Element types)
  • Layout changes such as size and position
