Source code for process-services-1.8.1

marco_altieri — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 23:40:51 GMT

We are thinking to use the "Share Connector" to integrate Alfresco Share with an instance of APS 1.8.1.The version of ACS is 5.2.2.After installing and configuring the connector, I can see that Alfresco Share is showing a different page when I start a workflow. This page seems to come directly from

Hi Marco, you should not use the Share Connector going forward as it is being deprecated here in short order. Please refer to the document entitled "Architecture changes for Alfresco Content Services version 6.0 and beyond" which can be found here - https://community.alfresco.com/community/ecm/blog/2018/01/03/architecture-changes-for-alfresco-content-services-version-60. In particular note the comment that says the following:

In addition, we plan to remove the following capabilities:
Alfresco Process Services Share Connector: Advanced content and process applications can be built with superior user experiences using process and content components from the Application Development Framework.

You can find details on the Application Development Framework (ADF) here.

Additionally, you should not be using Activiti 6 with APS 1.8.1 which is based on Activiti 5.22. If you want to get access to the APS 1.8.1 source, which includes a supported version of Activiti, please send a request into Customer Support, where as a commercial customer, they will give you access accordingly.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul Roth‌ Where can I find the source code of the angularjs application used in APS 1.8.1?

Hi Marco, all you need to do is submit a case into Customer Support making the request and they will get you access to all the source code.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

thank you for your help.

I think that I already have access to the source code, but I do not know in which repository to look.

I cloned the community repository at:

GitHub - Activiti/Activiti: Activiti is a light-weight workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) Platform targeted …

but I do not see the code there (as you suggested I checked out version 5.x)

I have also access to the enterprise artifacts on Nexus, but I do not know what artifact contains the angularjs code.

Thanks

Marco

The code is in the artifact com.exari:activiti-app:1.8.1, in the jar activiti-app-1.8.1-webapp.jar

Thanks

Hi Marco, what are you looking to do? Are you looking to make changes to the design time interfaces or the run time end user interfaces?

Re: Source code for process-services-1.8.1

marco_altieri — Wed, 23 May 2018 16:28:24 GMT

Hi Paul,

I only need to change the runtime end user interface.

Thanks

Marco

Ideally, customers should not be changing the Angular.js based end user interface (this is called the "Tasks" App) any longer and should be targeting the use of the Application Development Framework (ADF) and or the new ADF based Process Workspace to create custom user interfaces. Please get in touch so we could discuss this in more detail.

Thanks,

Paul

We are working to integrate ADF but the current version does not have all the functionality that we need.

For now, I needed only a small change in the UI and I think that I have been able to do it.

Thank you, Marco. Glad to know you were able to make the small change. It would be great to know what gaps you are seeing with the ADF.

Thanks,

Paul

I wanted to be more specific as it pertains to the Share Connector. The Share Connector is being deprecated. It will not be supported in ACS 6.0 which is due to be generally available next month and it will not be provided in APS going forward in subsequent releases.

Hey,

I am having a lot of trouble setting up the Share Connector. Could you please look at this thread Need help setting up the Share Connector and see if I had missed something in the configuration?
Maybe something will ring a bell.

I would appreciate it.

Hi Savo, ideally you should avoid using the Share Connector as it is being deprecated here in short order. We will no longer support the Share Connector in ACS 6.0 and APS 1.9 as of their releases planned for mid-June. Please reach out to me directly to discuss further.

Thanks,

Paul
