How to handle absent Assignees

“I want usertasks to be reassigned if the assignee is currently absent. How would I do this in Camunda?” As always, there is plenty of possible approaches to handle this situation. One of them begin a Task Listener. I created a little snippet that demonstrates how this can work: Absence Manager Snippet on GitHub For those of you who don’t want to build and deploy this demo application right away, there is also a little screencast below. How to handle absent Assignees from camunda on Vimeo.

New: camunda BPM network

On March 14 we merged the online community BPM-Netzwerk.de with more than 10,000 members into the new camunda BPM network. I personally created the first version of this community in 2004, and together with Robert Emsbach grew the community in the German speaking area. I learned a lot about community building during that time, especially in the BPM world. Now camunda takes over and will bring our network to the next level: Firstly, we want to grow our community outside the German speaking area as well, and secondly we want to explore new possibilities for discussing BPM online, that should go beyond the typical instruments we already know from general virtual communities. That’s why we created the BPMN forum for…

Get your Tasklist as RSS Feed

I don’t like watching my Tasklist all day. Getting email notifications for tasks that I should complete is nice, but sometimes I don’t want to complete the task right after being notified but still need to keep in mind there is something pending. This is how I came to create a simple PHP script that exposes my tasks as an RSS Feed. I can use that in my personal master dashboard (Microsoft Outlook) to keep track of my camunda Tasklist. Here is the result: Huh wow, how did I do that? I used the camunda BPM PHP SDK plus 40 lines of code. You can find them here: Tasklist RSS Sources

How to send an email when a usertask is assigned

“I don’t want to watch my camunda Tasklist all day. When there is something to do, I want to get an email containing a link that takes me directly to the respective task!” This is a typical statement by process participants (aka business users). There are numerous possible ways to implement such a requirement in your process application, e.g. using a service task:   But this is not really appropriate, since it makes the process model rather verbose and therefore less valuable for business-IT-alignment. The more elegant way is to use a task listener: This very powerful concept is described in detail in the userguide, and the behavior we want is a perfect use case, so let’s see how it works!…

Camunda vs. Oracle: Shootout Roadshow

High Noon in BPM City: not a soul walks the dusty main road and the sun glares mercilessly onto El Camundo and his opponent – the Oracle of the Desert. The wireless mouse still rests in his holster, his hand hovers above it – only the slightest quiver reveals Camundo’s tension. Pearly beads of sweat are glistening on Oracle’s face. Who will be the first to shoot off his token? This is close to what you can expect from our Shootout Roadshow, that we will run together with Oracle and Opitz Consulting (the latter as a neutral presenter). The idea is to set Camunda’s and Oracle’s BPM systems against each other and get a direct comparison. On the one hand…
