Find a complete list of issues solved in this release in JIRA. This release covers Eclipse Kepler and Juno/Indigo as well as the Camunda Modeler Standalone. The new features were mainly developed by Roman! What’s inside? We exposed the attributes we have added with the Modeler release 2.6.1 on the properties panel, namely i/o mapping, connectors and asyncBefore/asyncAfter. Two new tabs were added to the properties panel in order to configure Input/Output parameter and connector settings. A new input dialog was implemented for adding and editing the parameter details.

Getting Started: CMMN and Camunda
With Camunda BPM 7.2, we have released our very first implementation of the Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) standard. Some people even say it is the first available CMMN implementation at all. Like BPMN, CMMN is a specification by the Object Management Group and while BPMN is a standard for modeling processes that are highly structured, CMMN is a standard for modeling cases. In contrast to processes, cases are user- and data-driven and typically are much less pre-defined in terms of execution order and required tasks. With 7.2, it is now possible to deploy CMMN models to the engine, and interact with case instances via a rich Java and REST API. For human tasks, camunda Tasklist can be used…

Internationalization in the Camunda BPM Tasklist
In an international open source project like ours, the users speak a huge variety of languages. When building our new Tasklist we had to address the question of how to deal with internationalization. Customizing Your Own Language In addition to the default language, we added the possibility to plugin your own language for all Tasklist texts, labels, dates and date formats. You can of course use multiple languages at a time, based on the browser settings of your users. To achieve this, you simply need to add your own language file(s) to your Tasklist, without even restarting the application. Read the documentation on how to customize your language settings. Existing Translations The great thing of having a community is that…

Cockpit and Deployments
The last days before I traveled to Hong Kong I built a cockpit plugin toshow and delete deployments. On my firstengagement, I thought about how to clean up my database from all thefailing process diagrams that I don’t need any more. I asked Bernd how toget rid of the old stuff. He deleted the H2 files from his computer.That’s a very fresh start. And he is now very fast in finding andinstalling the enterprise license key again. This could be done better in myopinion. On the next customer engagement Isaw a test system with version 168 of the process definition to test.Someone should clean up here. But how? Whatabout deleting the deployment with cascade=true? Who calls…

Who cares about Types? Querying with Numeric Variable Values
The final camunda 7.2 release is a stone’s throw away and ships a ton of new features. One of these is the typed variable value API. You may already know the plain-value-based API that exists since the process engine’s very first days. A variable can be set on an execution/task/… as follows: execution.setVariable(“var”, 42); Behind the scenes, the process engine performs some magic to squeeze numbers, booleans, or even complex Java objects into the database and return it from there on the next call: int myLuckyNumber = (Integer) execution.getVariable(“var”); With 7.2 (and the latest alpha), we introduce the typed value API. It is not a whole new API but rather of a gentle extension. Like before, the variable API is…
