Hi Mauricio,
We have 4-5 case types and each case-type has its own workflow. Every
workflow has four phases and each phase has phase-activities which in-turn
has worksteps (templates).
1. Phases could be intial, in-progress, contract and production.
2. Phase-activities are department specific. For eg. Sales, Operation etc.
3. Worksteps are assigned to a group(team) or specific user.
Certain worksteps have some business-rule validation before execution
which requires to be fulfilled.
The approach used is using of tokens. A workstep can have many
validation tokens separated by comma. e.g VALIDATE_EMAIL,VALIDATE_USERNAME.
Once we deploy this business flow, using Savvion BPM Studio, it internally
copies the BPM related files to server and creates a table for each
template.
Now the process is as follows:
1. Application has a provision to start the process flow - Savvion creates
a process instance for the template and add one entry in respective
database table. For eg, we have a template name 'App_CustomerContact',
table name same as template name. This process-instance is related to only
one case.
2. The application makes user available with assigned worksteps. The user
then completes these worksteps (We call it as measure-points). Once the
user has completed his assigned worksteps, the next workstep will be
available to team/other user as per business flow. (P.S. attached
Application-UI-Fig1)
Please find attached screens to make it much clearer.
So we require to migrate our existing process-instances into jBPM and also
create new processes using jBPM templates.
We do have knowledge how Savvion creates data into its database.

Hi,
I'm not an expert in Savvion,
but can you share more details about what are you doing inside it? or at
least a business process that you want to deploy in jBPM?
If you cannot share that information, do you think that you can create a
simplified version of the kind of things that you want to migrate?
Cheers
