Activiti to Flowable designer

Flowable Designer
1

Hello everyone!

We have decided to move from Activiti to Flowable v6.2 and we faced some issues.
All our processes are created with Activiti designer v5.18. Now, when I open these process definitions with Flowable designer v5.22 I face some issues. I can’t change them:

  1. Changes are not saved when I close and open again the process definition.
  2. Wierd NPE is thrown by the Eclipse IDE.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks and best regards,
Iliyan

Hi Iliyan,

Great, could you share one or two of the models you try to import?
Which Eclipse IDE version are you currently using, Neon?

Best regards,

Tijs

Hi Tijs,

Thanks for the fast answer! I’m using Mars. Is Flowable designer v5.22 compatible with Mars or I need to install Neon?
And something else: Can a service task be both inclusive and synchronous? This is the thing I want to change in the process definition- changing a task from async and exclusive to sync and inclusive.

Thanks again and best regards,
Iliyan

Hi Tjis,

After several restarts of Eclipse, the Flowable designer seems to be alright. The only problem I’m facing now is that I can’t make a service task both inclusive and synchronous. Is that expected?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Iliyan,

Ok good to hear. When a service task is synchronous, the exclusive flag is ignored. So it doesn’t matter which value it has. Only when a service task is set to be asynchronous, then the exclusive checkbox matters.
