PNG not accurate

[kram123]

Hello!

I'm really new to Activiti and to the IT industry so I'm having a little comprehension of what Activiti really is about. So far I have been using Activiti Modeler and Activiti Cycle to produce BPMN 2.0 Process Diagrams.

I'm having trouble in viewing my diagrams in Activiti Cycle. Everytime I view it as PNG (so I could export it), the task name seems to be misaligned on its box. Everything else seems to be just like it is in the Activiti Modeler, I only seem to have a problem with tasks.

Also, do you know how to deploy the flowcharts I've created in Activiti as well? My superior is asking me if I could know how to deploy a certain process either daily, weekly, e.g. and so far I am having no ideas with regard to it.

I hope you could help me! Thank you in advance.

Hi kram123.

The problem you describe with the PNG is unfortunately a known bug in the modeler, sorry. For executing the process on activiti, you still have to add some details required to really deploy the process in the Engine. Best is to use the Eclipse Designer for that (or if you want to get your hands dirty enhance the BPMN 2.0 XML directly).

Maybe you get an idea here: http://www.bpm-guide.de/2011/03/22/the-bpm-roundtrip-with-activiti-cycle/. Otherwise I could recommend a training, maybe even online: http://www.camunda.com/activiti/activiti-online-crashcourse/ 😉 Or to start with the UserGuide/Tutorial: http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html to get some basics about that…

Hope that helps you a bit further
Cheers
Bernd

Hello,
regarding the unaccurate png in cycle, is there a bug report for that in Jira?

Althought I can't see the image in OP's post, I think I was experiencing the same problem in a Debian box but not in a Suse one, and finally discovered that the problem disappeared when I used the java-6-openjdk packages for Java instead of Sun's Java.

Maybe it helps somebody.
Cheers,
