Alfresco Workflows and Eclipse

[wit]

Hi, I'm beginner in Alfresco. I know there is possibility to create Workflows in with Eclipse jBPM Process Designer Plugin - and then integrate them into Alfresco.

Ok, I have installed that plugin, wrote some workflow - but how can I get it into Alfresco? I have read all different manuals - but haven't find solution

I don't ask for big explanation, but for link to it.

You should be able to deploy directly: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration#Deploying_via_JBoss_jBPM_Process_Designer
or manually: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration#Manually_deploying_a_jPDL_XML_file_or_Process_A...

ok, finally I understand. I saw "Deployment tab" in some descriptions…

In some video demonstration http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/demos/mov + ies/jbpm-overview.htm (Please bind mov + ies together to see link - that work is disallowed here) 
I can see Diagram, Swimline, Deployment, Design, Source tabs in GPD editor, but I have only Diagram, Source - sure I can't export my Workflow to Alfresco via Deployment tab - if I haven't it!

It is a problem of my jBPM plugin or Eclipse version?

I have installed jBPM 3.0 as site file, and then manually copied 3.1.2 version files to Eclipse. Eclipse version is 3.1.1.

[wit]

I have upgraded jBPM to 3.08 - now I can see Diagram, Swimline, Design, Source tabs - but still no Deployment tab!

[wit]

Finally!!! I'm happy - Deployment tab in 3.09.2!!! )

Now I have new questions:

1. Here sentence from one presentation: "View workflow image within Alfresco" - how it is possible?

2. I have added some testing workflow and now I can see it in selection of Advanced Workflows - but I created it only for testing purposes - how can I delete it? Only manually - removing files?

I've downloaded plug-in here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=70542&package_id=116692
As I told, for me version 3.0.9.2 was Ok. (site, not a feature).
, than run Eclipse, go to Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install… , here is insallation process: http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/gpd/installation.html

Here is some using video example:

You can undeploy your definitions via the workflow console:
/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp

undeploy definition name jbpm$simple‍

Where "simple" is the name of the deployed workflow.

I haven't figured out if there any files involved somewhere.

Hi,

we are new to Alfersco.
I was trying to create custom workflow using JBPM console in Eclipse.

I did the following:
1). i downloaded jPDL Suite 3.2.3 suite.
2). manually pasted org.jbpm.gd.jpdl_3.1.3.SP2.jar in D:\Ecllipse\plugins folder.
3). i did following in Eclipse
      a). i got JBossJBPM in windows/preferences
      b). i set Runtime Locations (in JBossJBPM) to a place where i extracted the JPDL suite
4). i created a process designer in eclipse.
5). now i did the following for deployment:
     a).     server name : localhost
     b).      server port  : 8080
     c). server deployer : /alfresco
     d). click Test Connection - successful
     e). click Deploy Process Archive

I did the above steps. but i could not see any custom workflow in algfresco workflow listing.
could you please tell me, how to proceed to get the workflow in alfresco ?

Thank you.

Hansraj
