BPMN Structured Discriminator – How to Trigger a Task Only Once

How does BPMN handle multiple branches converging into a single subsequent branch? The video explores the structured discriminator pattern in BPMN workflows, where multiple branches converge into a single subsequent branch. Through demonstrations, it illustrates how the pattern ensures that only the first enabled branch triggers the subsequent process, while subsequent branches' enablement does not affect the thread of control. The video also discusses challenges in implementing this pattern in BPMN, particularly in Camunda, and presents a solution using token simulation.

This video is part of a series on modeling the workflow patterns with BPMN.
