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…

Rendering BPMN and highlight current task using bpmn.io

With bpmn.io and the Camunda REST API it is really simple to develop a small HTML page that displays a process instance graphically and highlights some activities. In our “JSF Simple Tasklist” snippet we used this to highlight the current Task (like it is done in the Camunda BPM Tasklist):   The cool thing – you do not need a lot of code to do this! This is what we do: Handed over the taskId via URL parameter (see Screenshot). Load the Task details and BPMN XML via REST API. Instantiate the BPMN viewer and hand over the XML for rendering Add a CSS class for the activity to be highlighted Load JavaScript/CSS dependencies, we used WebJars, so they are…

Where is the “retry” in BPMN 2.0?

This blog was originally published in 2012 and updated in April 2021 by Nele Uhlemann In a famous article, Gregor Hohpe describes four strategies for dealing with failures in a business transaction: How does BPMN 2.0 and Camunda Platform deal with such problems and exceptions? Here are some experiments I made. Compensation In BPMN 2.0 we can model compensation explicitly: If I detect that I have no milk after making coffee, I throw the coffee away. It is important not to serve coffee without milk, even at the expense of having an unsatisfied customer. By the way, using compensations is a powerful way to roll back Sagas. More about Sagas in the following paragraph. The Saga Pattern instead of a…
