The holidays are upon us, time for a lighter kind of blog post: Conways’s game of life on a Raspberry Pi. Conways game of life can be modelled by the following bpmn and dmn: In order to see what is happening the Raspberry Pi was hooked up to a 8×8 LED matrix (can be bought e.g at Adafruit together with the Raspberry Pi 3, breadboard and jumper wires). The LED matrix is driven by a simple program written in Go that receives the information which LED to light or dim through a socket connection from the Camunda engine. The final result can be seen below: Video showing Conway’s game of life in action The process accepts three parameters: rows, cols,…

Camunda 7.6 got released few weeks ago and it comes with many new exciting features. One of them is the extended Batch Operation feature and within this post I am gonna tell you what you can do with it and why it is so useful. Before I outline some really good use cases for Batch Operations let’s have a look what the concept actually means. Batch In general, batch processing is a concept in which a number of jobs is executed without manual intervention. Therefore, in Camunda the Batch operation concept can be used to offload workload from the current execution to the background. This means that with the help of this concept operators are able to perform administrative operations…

Happy Birthday DMN DMN has proven to be a very popular and well adopted standard for describing and executing business rules. It’s uptake among Camunda users alone has been very impressive, especially considering it’s a standard that’s only about a year old. It’s popularity has given us the perfect excuse to implement even more elements of the standard. In fact since we first started to support it, we’ve been asked about when we intend to implement DRDs (Decision Requirements Diagram). With the release of Camunda 7.6 we’ve done just that. This post is simply a way of showing how to use DRDs and is especially relevant if you’re already familiar with DMN tables. Assignment Use Case DMN has become a…

Today is a great day for the Camunda Spring Boot starter extension: after three month of hard (but mostly fun) work, we are proud to announce the release of 2.0.0. We decided to switch to a new major version, because a lot of things changed: new groupId: org.camunda.bpm.extension.springboot and a new maven module structure switch to Java 8 switch to Spring Boot 1.4.2 switch to Camunda BPM 7.6.0 Besides those internal enhancements, we worked on stability, convenience and support of the enterprise edition.

In my recent blogpost I discussed an example on how to integrate Camunda with modern ECM SaaS providers like Box. As many companies are still using traditional ECM and DMS solutions within this blogpost I will focus on CMIS. The open CMIS standard stands for Content Management Interoperability Services and allows to integrate with a number of different DMS solutions. Most popular DMS solutions come with an API that is based on the CMIS standard as one can see in this list of CMIS implementations. CMIS is an abstraction layer that uses web services and extends SOAP by defining a specific domain model and bindings. Showcase Similar to my previous blogpost I reused the typical Invoice Showcase that is shipped…
