I'm following the tutorial -- In the Modeling Message Passing and Services section (Business process), whenever I try to draw a message flow line between two processes (e.g., between "Make Full Room Rate Charge (in Accounts) and "Charge Credit Card" in Credit Agency), I get the error message

The methodology does not allow the drawing of a line of type Message Flow between those locations.

Is this a bug, or is there something obvious or atrick I'm missing?

Thanks

I am able to create a Sequence Flow, and use Transform Symbol to change it to a Message Flow.

The notation standards do not allow a message flow between processes, unless they are in two seperate pools. See section 8.4.2 of the BPMN Adopted Specifications for further clarification (http://www.bpmn.org/Documents/OMG%20Final%20Adopted%20BPMN%201-0%20Spec%2006-02-01.pdf).

The document listed above is located at this URL: http://www.bpmn.org/. There are other related BPMN articles and papers located at this site that might be of some interest in using the BPMN notation.

Good luck,
Doug

Thank you.  My "Credit Agency" was a lane rather than a pool.

So it appears that the bug lies in System Architect allowing the Sequence Flow to be transformed into a Message Flow.
