External Tasks allows new Use Cases with Camunda BPM 7.4
In a recent Blog Post I wrote about a concept we call “External Tasks” where services were not actively called from the Workflow Engine (PUSH) but where “Workers” retrieve their tasks from the Workflow Engine (PULL). We discussed this a lot and got so much feedback that we decided to support this pattern out-of-the-box in Camunda BPM 7.4. Let’s have a look at an example (yes – we do have customers implementing video processing :-)): In this case transcoding and uploading a video file can take ages. It is done by special software which often does not have a SOAP or REST API to call. So in this case it is much easier to make an External Task out of…

Over 3700 BPMN 2.0 Diagrams for Research Purposes
We have put together a collection of BPMN 2.0 diagrams for research purposes. These diagrams have been created in our BPMN trainings, which we have been giving since 2008. In all of these trainings, the participants created BPMN diagrams based on so called text-to-model exercises. We provide you with the exercise texts, the participants’ results as well as our sample solutions. All diagrams have been anonymized and are provided as BPMN 2.0 XML files, which can be downloaded from our BPMN for Research repository on GitHub. The following diagram illustrates the process in which these diagrams have been created. There are German and English diagrams, which are sorted into folders of four separate exercises. Feedback Welcome! For research purposes the…

Escalation Events in Camunda BPM 7.4
The humble escalation event has arrived to the Camunda process engine. Well actually there are technically 6 of them and while each is special in its own little way I’m going to give some examples of the most widely used ones. Escalation events act a lot like error events with one very important difference – You can throw an escalation event without interrupting the process instance. A good example of the usefulness of this event can be seen in the following model: This model describes a situation where someone needs to be made aware of an issue within the process. Specifically where processing is going to take too long, but we also don’t want the process to stop. By using…

A new blog for Camunda BPM posse
I was delighted when Daniel asked me to valify (as Robert says) the Camunda BPM Team Blog and make it fit our CI (nope, for once, this ain’t meaning Continuous Integration). Here’s the little story about that work… erm… fun and some show-off about the new blog features.
