  11. You cam enable the option "Sync process references". When sub processes are synchronized from Symbio to SAP Solution Manager this option will decide if it will synchronize all sub process references and their diagrams as well or not. In case it is disabled the sub process references will be represented as empty sub processes in SAP Solution Manager.

  12. You can enable the option "Use legacy process sync". A sub process represents the SolMan process and its diagram. It is not permitted to maintain multiple diagrams for one SolMan process. Without this option, multiple diagrams are possible on a SolMan process, each represented by a sub-process.
