Errata on example 3.4.11.2 discussion.

["Dale Moberg" <dmoberg@us.axway.com>]

After removing the redundant Transition element, there is still a problem with example 3.4.11.2

 

Monica and I tried to guess what happened. We _think_ that an ellipsis for a missing BTA got dropped out when moving from the example to the xml validity checking tool and back again.

 

What this means is that the two Decision elements become very confusing because there is a missing BTA with ID value = ID122A39D24.

 

Options:

 

1.  Restore ellipsis

2.  Add a BTA (what BTA would we go to after a successful PlaceOrder in order to form a BC called “Firm Order”???)

3. Edit out the decision referencing the missing BTA.

 

Against 1, the ellipsis is confusing and makes for a confusing example

Against 3, the text seems to be thinking of there being two BTAs and a (lower case) transition between them (accomplished by a Decision)

 

Against 2, I am not certain what BTA is needed to make a Firm Order from a PlaceOrder. Credit check of some kind? Any proposals?
