You can use multiple incoming and outgoing connectors for a workstep without using an intermediary Or-Join, AND, or Decision. In addition, BPM Designer supports multiple outgoing connectors for Start worksteps; and multiple incoming connectors for Decisions and End worksteps.
The following restrictions apply to workstep connections:
You cannot have more than one connector of the same type with the same source and target worksteps.
A connector cannot originate from and terminate at the same workstep.
The Or-Join and XOR-Join gateways can have only one outgoing connector. When an AND gateway has multiple incoming connectors, it acts as an And-Join and can have only one outgoing connector.
Note: Even though you can now design a business process without using the Or-Join or Decision gateways, these worksteps are still available for users who want to add them to processes to clarify or highlight areas of the process’s workflow.
You cannot have more than one connector of the same type with the same source and target worksteps.
