Import Process

[atanus]

I am importing a process definition created in IBM BlueworksLive and exported to bpmn2.0 format. The main file has 2 extensions. How does Activiti interpret the extentions while importing the main file? I reckon the extensions are not getting imported leading to incomplete process definition getting imported into Activiti. The swimlanes are missing in the imported process in Activiti. Uploaded .bpmn file by changing extention to .txt

Hi,

How does Activiti interpret the extentions while importing the main file?

the first insight http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnCustomExtensions

Sorry wrong word 'Extensions' used. It is MODEL. The main file (DSG Collateral Processing L1_L2.bpmn) has the following two imports:
import namespace="http://www.ibm.com/WebSphere/bpm/BlueworksLive/Glossaries" location="../Glossaries.bpmn" importType="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL'/
import namespace="http://www.ibm.com/WebSphere/bpm/BlueworksLive/Resources" location="../Resources.bpmn" importType="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL'/
When Activiti imports the main file how will it interpret the import statements? These are two seperate files (Glossaries.bpmn & Resources.bpmn) which are in the parent folder of the main file.
The main file is importing but the swimlanes are missing, swimlanes are defined in the Resources.bpmn file.
The bpmn files are auto generated from IBM BlueworksLive (BW), when we export a process created in BW to bpmn.

I do not know. You can easily try it. I did not migrate files from IBM Blueworkslive.

I have tried and the swimlanes which are defined in the referenced file are not importing.

Hi,

The next steps could be to:

1. create an issue in the activiti project with the jUnit test,
2. fix the issue in the project,
3. create pull request.
