Access Activiti workflow console from Alfresco Community?

[prof_1]

Hi All,

I'm using Alfresco community 4.2.c. I tried to access the "Activiti workflow console". There is no "Workflow" in the Admin Console. It does not included in the community version?

And also I tried to access the "workflow-console.jsp" page, which I found it in the following address: Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\jsp\admin\workflow-console.jsp. I got the following error:

javax.faces.FacesException: Faces context not found. getResponseWriter will fail. Check if the FacesServlet has been initialized at all in your web.xml configuration fileand if you are accessing your jsf-pages through the correct mapping. E.g.: if your FacesServlet is mapped to *.jsf (with the <servlet-mapping>-element), you need to access your pages as 'sample.jsf'. If you tried to access 'sample.jsp', you'd get this error-message.

Thanks,

Yes, Activity Workflow Console is Enterprise Edition feature.
I am not sure but you can configure Activity Explorer war to alfresco.

I think, Alfresco is planning to have activity admin console in community version too. I read thin in one of the JIRA task or in one of the forum not sure

So, no way to deploy Activiti workflow in Alfresco Community?

You can deploy workflows either by setting <redeploy> to true in the context thus

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
    
   <bean id="farthestgate.workflowBootstrap" parent="workflowDeployer">
      <property name="workflowDefinitions">
         <list>
            <props>
               <prop key="engineId">activiti</prop>
               <prop key="location">alfresco/extension/workflows/serviceableContact.bpmn20.xml</prop>
               <prop key="mimetype">text/xml</prop>
               <prop key="redeploy">true</prop>
            </props>
         </list>
      </property>
      <property name="models">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco/extension/workflows/serviceableContactModel.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
      <property name="labels">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco/extension/workflows/serviceableContactModel</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
    
</beans>

This is dangerous because your workflow is redeployed on every re-boot; so its OK for development but not production when you should set it to false and use the console.

The Alfresco web workflow console is at

http://{your-alfresco}/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp

Less than a great interface but functional

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp

type this in address bar, and deploy your BPMN in alfresco community version.

The old Faces-based interface has been removed. Try http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/admin/admin-workflowconsole
