With Camunda BPM 7.2.0-alpha5, we introduce Task Filters. Task filters are TaskQueries which can be saved to the database so that you can run them repeatedly. Creating a Filter using Java API At a Java API Level, a filter can be created as a regular task query: // create a taskQuery TaskQuery myTasksQuery = taskService.createTaskQuery().taskAssignee(“daniel.meyer”).active(); // save taskQuery as filter Filter myTasksFilter = filterService.newTaskFilter(“My Tasks”); myTasksFilter.setOwner(“daniel.meyer”); myTasksFilter.setQuery(myTasksQuery); String filterId = filterService.saveFilter(myTasksFilter); // execute the filter List<Task> tasks = filterService.listPage(filterId, 0, 20); If you want to share the filter with other users and for each user, make should return that particular user’s tasks, it is possible to use Expression Language in the task query: taskService.createTaskQuery().taskAssigneeExpression(“${ currentUser() }”).active(); The above example uses…

Last Thursday we organized the 2nd camunda BPM community Day. After visiting Prague last year we went for the home game and invited the community to our Berlin offices. So we put all our desks and chairs and other stuff away to make room for the attendees. Around 65 people had registered and without doing an exact headcount, I suppose that more than 50 attended which Bernd described as “the biggest open source community day he ever attended”. Sandy Kemsley, who also attended, already published extensive summaries on the most of the talks so I am just going to link to them here: Australia Post at Camunda Community Day camunda Community Day technical presentations What’s Next In camunda – Wrapping…

In our latest alpha release we include a preview of the upcoming support for CMMN (Case Management Model and Notation) in camunda BPM. Time to have a look at CMMN and the way it is implemented in camunda BPM. What is CMMN? CMMN is an emerging OMG standard for (Adaptive) Case Management. Version 1.0 is freshly released and vendor adoption starts to take off. Trisotech already provides a Web-based Modeler for CMMN and we at camunda have the ambition to provide the first embedded, Open Source Runtime Engine for CMMN. CMMN allows modeling Cases. A case allows humans to do work in a more or less structured way in order to achieve something. Classic examples where case management is applied…

In camunda BPM we enhance our lightweight embedded BPMN Process Engine with case management features based on CMMN. CMMN is the new emerging industry standard for (Adaptive) Case Management (ACM) developed by the OMG (Object Management Group), the same consortium which is also behind the BPMN 2.0 standard. I believe that lightweight open source solutions based on open standards can make a difference in the case management space. This is why. The traditional “hard-coded” Approach Traditionally, case management applications were hard coded. If an enterprise needed an application for handling credit applications, it would call on to their Java Developers (or worse: their Cobol Mainframe Developers), there would be some kind of software specification document written and the developers would…
