BPM Parallel Multi Instance sub processes by Niall Commiskey

Here is a very simple scenario:

An order with lines is processed. The OrderProcess accepts in an order with its attendant lines. The Fulfillment process is called for each order line. We do not have many order lines, and the processing is simple, so we run this in parallel.
Let’s look at the definition of the Multi Instance sub-process – Read the full article here.

Case Management In-Depth: Stakeholders & Permissions by Mark Foster

We’ve seen in the previous 3 posts in this series what Case Management is, how it can be configured in BPM Studio and its lifecycle.

I now want to go into some more depth with specific areas such as:.

  • Stakeholders & Permissions
  • Case Activities
  • Case Rules
  • etc.

In the process of designing a Case Management solution it is important to know what approach to take, what questions to ask and based on the answers to these questions, how to implement. I’ll start with Stakeholders & Permissions.

Stakeholders

The users that perform actions on case objects, defined at a business level, e.g. “Help Desk Agent”, “Help Desk Supervisor” etc. Read the full article here.

Case Management In-Depth: Cases & Case Activities Part 1 – Activity Scope by Mark Foster

In the previous blog entry we looked at stakeholders and permissions, i.e. how we control interaction with the case and its artefacts.

In this entry we’ll look at case activities, specifically how we decide their scope, in the next part we’ll look at how these activities relate to the over-arching case and how we can effectively visualize the relationship between the case and its activities.

Case Activities

As mentioned in an earlier blog entry, case activities can be created from:

  • BPM processes
  • Human Tasks
  • Custom (Java Code)

It is pretty obvious that we would use custom case activities when either:

  • we already have existing code that we would like to form part of a case
  • we cannot provide the necessary functionality with a BPM process or simple Human Task

However, how do we determine what our BPM process as a case activity contains? What level of granularity?

Take the following simple BPM process Read the full article here.
