Camunda BPM Custom Batch 1.0.0 – New Community Extension
Have you ever tried to create your own custom batch with Camunda BPM? Well, I did, and it was very time consuming and quite complex. There isn’t really a public API for this purpose. You have to work at the entity level and take care that batch configuration is saved to the ACT_GE_BYTEARRAY database table. That’s why I’ve decided to create the Camunda BPM Custom Batch Extension. The goal of this extension is to provide a simple way of using the Camunda Batch functionality for your own purposes. If you have no clue what Camunda Batch is for, it can be used to split a huge workload (e.g., like reassigning all tasks) into small asynchronous jobs. See the official Camunda…

We are happy to announce the Camunda Modeler version 1.8.2 release! This patch release contains a bug fix where changing process properties using the properties panel led to inconsistencies and made modeling the diagram impossible. We recommend all users of version 1.8.1 to download the new version from camunda.org as soon as possible. You can learn about all new features introduced in version 1.8.1 in this blog post.

New Official Extension: camunda-bpm-migration
Camunda BPM Migration is a framework for making process instance migration easier. It builds upon the migration functionality introduced in Camunda BPM 7.5. This is a great feature enabling the community to go boldly where few men have gone before 😉 Typically, instance migration is avoided like the pest. It’s a pain. This feature, together with the migration extension, aims to ease that pain. What Does the Migration Extension Offer? Before answering that, let’s have a look what Camunda already provides. As you know, Camunda BPM provides the ability to do a migration based on process definition mapping. Still, the migration plans can only be defined for deployed processes. This makes it hard to impossible to define a migration plan…

Adding Custom Elements to the BPMN Properties Panel
Extending the BPMN properties panel to add custom elements. UPDATE: Since the publication of this post, we have reworked our BPMN properties panel infrastructure. The examples below may no longer be accurate for the latest versions. Please visit this link for updated examples on how to extend the BPMN properties panel with custom elements. Goal In this article, we will try to add a custom element to the BPMN properties panel under the ‘General’ tab for a service task type component. To be precise, under the ‘General’ tab, in the details sections, if ‘Java Class’ is selected as implementation type, a text box appears below. Here the user is expected to enter the java class, but our goal is to…
