How to deploy a process model ?

hari

Hello,

I am trying my hands for the first time on Activiti Enterprise and have a question.

1) How can I deploy a process model and start ? I see a way to deploy with REST but is there any GUI contol in activiti-app which helps with that?

Thanks in advance.

You need to add the process model to an app and publish that app.
Behind the scenes (amongst others) this will do a deploy of the process definition.

Thanks Barrez, I was able to associate my model with an app and publish it. Now I went to the processes tab on top (which is right beside the tasks tab) and tried to start the process. Since I did not see any process there, I clicked on Start Process button and it shows "You cannot start a process as there are no process definitions available"

Pls help.

Question #2

Is activiti-app similar to Activiti-Explorer in terms of usage. I mean is it not for the end users ?

Got it.. I understood how to deploy the process and start it. Want someone to answer my Question #2. Thanks.

After publishing the app, I went to the home page and clicked on "add new app" button and added my new app and deployed it from there. Now I was able to start the process.

Q#3 ) Also I was looking for the forms which I created and finally found them under FORM table. For each of the forms I see a id field which is numeric like ex: "id":"1460985048361"

Whats the logic behind this id ? Can I have my own randomly generated id here ?
Reason for my question is that I want to automatically generate some forms.

Sorry, missed this thread somehow.

#2: "Is activiti-app similar to Activiti-Explorer in terms of usage. I mean is it not for the end users ?"

Indeed. Low-level admin operations. No end user functionality.

#3: It's a random generated id indeed. I believe it's generated in javascript … so would need some js hacking to change that. I think you can fill in what you want in there in case you are generating them.

No issues. You found this anyway.
Thanks again for your help.
