Hi,

Do you have any inputs regarding my last mail?
We would like to know if this migration is possible in jBPM.

It would be grateful, if you could reply to us asap.
Awaiting your response.

Thanks & Regards,
Vidhya

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

Hi,

We have currently implemented our BPM flow using Savvion product. We are searching for an open source solution to migrate existing business flow. We found jBPM suitable for the requirement. 

We would like to know the following :
1. Is it possible to migrate existing case flows from Savvion to jBPM ? 
2. If yes, how could we migrate from Savvion to jBPM?
3. If in case there is no solution, what details are required to have a customized utility for the same? 

Our application is purely JEE based deployed on Weblogic Server and we use jax-WS to integrate with Savvion.


Thanks & Regards,
Vidhya.
