Bonita Open Solution

How to Use Connectors

Welcome to Bonita Open Solution (BOS). If you don’t already have the software, you can download it from the BonitaSoft web site.. How to Use Connectors is intended to help you use the Connectors provided in Bonita Open Solution Version 5, the complete open source Business Process Management Solution. You can download this, and the general User Guide and updates, from the BonitaSoft web site. Part 1 gives a basic overview and general information. Part 2 describes how to use predefined Connectors to connect Bonita Open Solution to external information systems. Part 3 describes how to develop your own Connectors. Part 4 describes how to import a Connector. Part 5 gives information about how to analyze problems in Bonita Open Solution.

http://www.bonitasoft.com/products/downloads.php

http://www.bonitasoft.com/products/downloads.php



Part 1. Bonita Open Solution Connectors Overview

Bonita Open Solution provides Connectors to connect a Step or a Process to external information systems. Connectors take specified input (directly as a value from the end user or carried over / built into an expression) and execute. Some Connectors also return output back into Bonita Open Solution. Inputs and outputs for each Connector provided in Bonita Open Solution are given in this document. There are two ways to configure Connectors:

Add a Connector – choose a Connector already defined in Bonita Open Solution

Create a Connector – Create a new Connector type; place it in an existing Bonita Open Solution Category; use this as a wizard for future Connectors of the same type

Once created, Connectors can be Moved or Copied (to another Step or to a Process or Pool). There is also a function to Test a Connector before the Process is run.



Part 2 How to connect processes to information systems

2.1 How to Add a Connector to a Step or a Process

2.1.1 Add a Connector to a Step

To Add a Connector already defined in Bonita Open Solution to a Step, click the Step and go to Details -> Connectors -> Add. Note: you will need to have global variables defined, to associate with your inputs and/or output results. See How to define Data variables in the Bonita Open Solution User Guide. When the Select a connector window appears, choose the type of Connector you want to add. (These Connectors are described in detail in the following paragraphs, but all of them go through these same first steps).

Figure 1. Choose a Connector to Add

In the wizard, for all Connectors, specify:

Name: name the Connector

Description / Purpose: what the Connector does

Select event: at which event the Connector is activated



Figure 2. Specify Connector parameters at the Step level (Automatic or Subprocess Step)

Figure 3. Specify Connector parameters at the Step level (Human Step)

o Enter: the connector implements as soon as the Process moves to this

Step o Start: the connector implements when the assigned Actor completes

the necessary action (presented via the web application and initiated when the form is Submitted)

o Suspend: the connector implements if the Actor suspends the Process o Resume: the connector implements if the Actor resumes the Process o Finish: the connector implements as this Step is completed

If Connector fails: choose the appropriate action to take if the Connector itself fails to execute properly:

o Abort process and raise error; or o Ignore error and continue process.



2.1.1.1 Trigger a Connector when a Step Deadline is reached Deadlines are used to trigger a Connector after the specified duration or date has passed. A Deadline is either:

a date by which a Step must be completed, or

the duration of time during which a Step must be completed. Deadlines can be set for both Human and Automatic Steps. Go to Step -> Deadlines -> Add. Choose a Connector to be triggered when the deadline is reached.

Figure 4. Configure a Deadline to trigger a Connector

Enter Name and Description

Message Type: select Duration, Date or Variable o Duration: select the length of time to elapse between the initiation of this

Step and the activation of the Connector o Date: Select the date and time for the activation of the Connector o Variable: Select a predefined variable that will return a date or an integer

(See How to define a Data variable)

If Connector fails: choose the appropriate action to take if the Connector itself fails: o Abort process and raise error; or o Ignore error and continue process.

Select Next to continue and configure the Connector to activate when the deadline is reached. See Add a Connector to a Step.



2.1.2 Add a Connector to a Process or Pool

At the Process level, there are also options to implement a Connector at any time during the Process:

Figure 5. Specify Connector parameters at the Process or Pool level

o Cancel the connector implements if the Actor cancels the Process (case) o Abort the connector implements if the Process case encounters a fatal

error

2.1.3 Define Connector inputs and outputs Next, define the parameters required for Connector inputs and, where appropriate, for outputs. You will need to define variables used in the inputs before configuring the Connector; but for outputs, you can create variables directly within the output configuration. Note that whenever an output configuration wizard appears, you either need to define the output or delete the output field.

Figure 6. Add variables or delete output



Figure 7. Add a variable to take Connector output

Specific Connector input and output configurations are described in the following sections.

2.1.4 Save Connector Configuration For many Connectors, you have an option to Save connector configuration which allows you to re-use the same configuration to define another Connector of the same type. This option will appear as you continue the Connector configuration wizard:

Figure 8. Save a Connector configuration

2.1.5 Move / Copy a Connector

To move a Connector to a another Step, or to a Pool or Process, Go to Step -> Connectors and select the Connector you want to move. Then select Move.



Figure 9. Move or duplicate a Connector

Be sure that any variables you defined in a Connector attached to a Step are also available either globally in the target Process, or locally in the target Step. To duplicate a Connector – that is, Move it and at the same time leave a copy in its original location, check the Make a Copy option before moving it.



2.1.6 Test a Connector

You can test the function of a Connector before you configure and save it. To do this, you’ll configure your Connector first as a test. Once it works, you can create the real thing. Check external configurations before testing a specific Connector. Sometimes the Connector test returns an error due to external factors. (For example, some Bonita Connectors may return errors because the Process has not been Run, and therefore the BEE has not been launched. This example illustrates that not all Connectors can be tested before an execution.) From the Menu Bar, Select Connector -> Test a Connector.

Figure 10. Select Test a Connector

Then Select the type of Connector to test (Connectors, Groups, or Filters).

Figure 11. Test a Connector configuration

Then choose the category and specific Connector to test. Continue to configure the Connector (as explained below, beginning in Section 2.2).



Figure 12. Choose a Connector to configure and evaluate

When the Connector parameters are defined, Evaluate it.

Figure 13. Evaluate the Connector when it is configured

Figure 14. …and wait for the evaluation results



You will get a Results window indicating that the Connector was successfully implemented, or that an error occurred with information to help debug the connector. When you are satisfied with the Connector behavior, you can Save connector configuration and use this as a basis to create the actual Connector where you want it.

2.2 How to configure Messaging and Social Connectors
