Flowable CMMN stages and sentries
Structuring Flowable cases with stages and entry and exit sentries: if-parts and on-parts, exit types, when sentries are evaluated, and modeling a case that adapts to what happens instead of a fixed sequence.
Flowable CMMN case management
Building case-driven applications on the Flowable CMMN engine: stages, sentries, milestones, event listeners, plan item rules and how cases call processes and decisions.
Flowable CMMN milestones
Tracking case progress in Flowable with milestones: when a milestone is reached, using milestones as sentry triggers, reporting case status from milestone data, and naming milestones the business recognizes.
Flowable CMMN repetition rules
Letting tasks and stages repeat in Flowable cases: repetition rules, max instance counts, repetition over a collection variable, and avoiding unbounded plan item creation.
Flowable CMMN manual activation, required and completion rules
Controlling how Flowable case work starts and ends: manual activation rules for optional tasks, required rules, completion neutral and parent completion rules, and how they decide when a stage or case can complete.
Flowable CMMN timer, user and variable event listeners
Reacting to time, user actions and data in Flowable cases with timer, user and generic event listeners, available conditions, automatic removal of listeners, and multiple variable event listeners.
Calling BPMN processes and child cases from Flowable CMMN
Combining Flowable CMMN with BPMN: process tasks that start a process from a case, case tasks for child cases, decision tasks for DMN, passing variables, and blocking versus non-blocking tasks.
Flowable case instance migration
Moving running Flowable case instances to a new case definition version: plan item mappings, creating plan items for new elements, pre and post expressions, local variables, terminating sub cases, and validating first over REST.
When to use Flowable CMMN instead of BPMN
Deciding between a CMMN case and a BPMN process for a Flowable use case: predictable sequences versus knowledge work, combining both in one application, and the modeling and testing cost of each choice.
Flowable CMMN REST API
Driving Flowable cases from front ends and services over the CMMN REST API: starting cases, listing and completing plan items and human tasks, case variables, history queries, and securing the endpoints.
