Activiti vs. jBPM

[yaziderman]

Hi everybody,
I have noticed that the activiti workflows are supported in Alfresco 4, while no jBPM workflows are available any more in the list.
What's the reasons?!

and if we need jBPM workflows to be added, is it possible?

Did you read the release note or the installation guide?

Hello! I'm trying to find some admin/installation guide for Alfresco 4.0 Community to find some info regarding how to enable jBPM/disable Activiti, but with no luck. Seems Alfresco 4.0 docs on docs.alfresco.com are not yet ready (being just a copy of 3.4 documentation). Even Google doesn't know anything about it  So, if you can provide some useful URL abount configuring workflow engine in 4.0, that would be very nice..
Thank you!
Regards,
Igor.

Hi,
change in alfresco-global.properties:

# Determines if JBPM workflow definitions are shown.
# Default is false. This controls the visibility of JBPM 
# workflow definitions from the getDefinitions and 
# getAllDefinitions WorkflowService API but still allows 
# any in-flight JBPM workflows to be completed.
system.workflow.engine.jbpm.definitions.visible=false

#Determines if Activiti definitions are visible
system.workflow.engine.activiti.definitions.visible=true

# Determines if the JBPM engine is enabled
system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=true

# Determines if the Activiti engine is enabled
system.workflow.engine.activiti.enabled=true‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

cheers, jan

Hi,

system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=true
system.workflow.engine.activiti.enabled=true‍‍‍

Jan, thank you, that's exactly what i've been trying to find in documentation.

Unfortunately, there's no even a word about configuring workflow engines in this manual. At least at this moment.

Thanks! It's really helpful information.
I edited below file and restarted then I could use jBPM workflow of dynamic deployment.
