ACM in explorer2

[ronaldv]

Hello,

I gave a demo of activiti ACM from svn version 5.5 for an innovation project in my company. Last night i updated svn and did not find ACM in explorer2. Are you going to do a complete rewrite?

:idea: Now for something completely different. Wouldn't it be great for Alfresco/Activiti to implement activitystreams (http://activitystrea.ms/). IBM seems to be doing it for their content updates and they are going to publish/parse streams from email as well. Seems to me to be a great addition for Alfresco and Activiti ACM. Or did you already think of it?

Kind regards,

Ronald Vermeire

I'm assuming you mean the ECM bit? Ie showing files etc.

We removed it again because it's not a direction we want that webapp to go.

Hi,

No, did not see much ECM. Just the file upload but attachments were stored in db.

It was showing cases and flows in the left pane, tasks including dynamic tasks in the middle pane and streams/audits on the right.
Is this all removed? Could you tell a little bit more, about the direction you are going with case management?

Kind regards,

Ronald Vermeire

Cases and flows are all still in the explorer 2 webapp. As a matter of fact, we are preparing it to be released in 5.7.

Hi,

Ok, if i create a build now i see it is back in. I temporarily had a explorer v2 as shown below.

Can you elloborate a little bit more about the direction you are going with case management now that you removed the ECM part? Do you want to integrate CMIS or something like Spring-social or…..?


Kind regards,

The idea is to have separate 'cases' (or standalone tasks for that matter) that allow to attach content and have discussions on it,
all besides the functionality which we had in the previous version of Explorer.

However, it is strange that you can't see cases and processes in your screenshot (you are only seeing the management bits). You should be able to see the 3 tabs.

We're currently looking internally what case mgmt means for Activiti, and how and what we are going to do. So nothing really concrete yet at this point.

Interesting typo ACM (~ Adaptive Case Management, also called Dynamic Case Management).
Sorry, just came to this thread using search ACM.

But I heard you guys are already looking into this. I hope to see the sequential BPMN engine as a subset of an event-driven, rule-based, goal-oriented case mgmt solution, that blurs the traditional distinction between designtime and runtime. 🙂

Finally knowledge workers will be getting real tools instead of MS Office…
