How to chain decisions with DRDs
Happy Birthday DMN DMN has proven to be a very popular and well adopted standard for describing and executing business rules. It’s uptake among Camunda users alone has been very impressive, especially considering it’s a standard that’s only about a year old. It’s popularity has given us the perfect excuse to implement even more elements of the standard. In fact since we first started to support it, we’ve been asked about when we intend to implement DRDs (Decision Requirements Diagram). With the release of Camunda 7.6 we’ve done just that. This post is simply a way of showing how to use DRDs and is especially relevant if you’re already familiar with DMN tables. Assignment Use Case DMN has become a…

Camunda BPM Spring Boot 2.0.0 released
Today is a great day for the Camunda Spring Boot starter extension: after three month of hard (but mostly fun) work, we are proud to announce the release of 2.0.0. We decided to switch to a new major version, because a lot of things changed: new groupId: org.camunda.bpm.extension.springboot and a new maven module structure switch to Java 8 switch to Spring Boot 1.4.2 switch to Camunda BPM 7.6.0 Besides those internal enhancements, we worked on stability, convenience and support of the enterprise edition.

ECM and Camunda – Using CMIS
In my recent blogpost I discussed an example on how to integrate Camunda with modern ECM SaaS providers like Box. As many companies are still using traditional ECM and DMS solutions within this blogpost I will focus on CMIS. The open CMIS standard stands for Content Management Interoperability Services and allows to integrate with a number of different DMS solutions. Most popular DMS solutions come with an API that is based on the CMIS standard as one can see in this list of CMIS implementations. CMIS is an abstraction layer that uses web services and extends SOAP by defining a specific domain model and bindings. Showcase Similar to my previous blogpost I reused the typical Invoice Showcase that is shipped…

ECM and Camunda – Integrating Box.com with Camunda
Many core workflows in organizations involve some kind of document management. Organizations usually handle document management with the help of DMS or ECM software solutions. The term Enterprise Content Management (ECM) was first introduced in 2000 by the AIIM International. In today’s definition ECM covers (web) content, document, records, workflow and digital asset management as well as search, collaboration, capture and scanning. Furthermore, often document management systems (DMS) are viewed to be a component of ECM. Originally ECM applications were implemented as traditional software applications which were installed on-premise. With the growth of cloud computing and SaaS solutions also the ECM market changed drastically during the last years. Many traditional ECM applications added SaaS technology to their portfolio, but at…

Camunda Engine Evolution since Activiti Fork
The future of the Activiti Open Source project is currently uncertain. Camunda split from the Activiti project in 2013. Since then, we maintained our own open source fork of the original Activiti Codebase. The objective of this post is to illustrate the diverging directions the two projects have taken and to serve as input for users who now consider migrating from Activiti to Camunda. The first part focuses on two key topics: core BPMN Execution and the persistence layer. For me, after all the feature talk and the marketing-hurrah is said and done, BPMN and persistence is where the meat is. In the second part, I compare the current state of the Camunda codebase to the (unreleased) Activiti 6.
