Galaxia Workflow Engine

Posted by Gremo 20 Oct 2005 22:34 GMT-0000

thank you a lot. I'm using tiki for workflow design (that is, to create ONLY database entries). After, i have to integrate the workflow in http://www.phprojekt.com/ as a module. I have to list and run activities for users (also monitoring workitems), and re-design it. I have also to using soap and webservice to support mobile/home working, but no idea for now.
Now i'm using galaxia API taken from tiki in order to list activities for an user logged into phpproject.

> You're right. It really could be clearer. The difference is that an aborted instance can't be resumed. An "exceptioned" one can.
> Instance status is important because you can have running, aborted, "exceptioned" and completed instances. How else would you figure out how your instances are doing?
> Activity status is also important because you can have running and completed activities. This way you can track how far into the process an instance is.

i'have made a schema. it is right? i'll try to explain, despite of my bad english:
for one activity, using gui->list_user_instances you has:

-ACTIVITY STATUS= running/INSTANCE STATUS= active -> the user have to run the instance in THIS activity.
-ACTIVITY STATUS= running/INSTANCE STATUS= aborted/exception -> the instance was aborted/exception in THIS activity.

-ACTIVITY STATUS= completed/INSTANCE STATUS= active -> the instance has already been executed for this activity. now this instance is somewhere in the workflow and it is active, that is another activity can run it.
-ACTIVITY STATUS= completed/INSTANCE STATUS= aborted/exception -> the instance has been already executed for this activity. But somewhere in the workflow, it has been aborted/exception.
-ACTIVITY STATUS= completed/INSTANCE STATUS= completed -> the instance is completed, that is has reach the end of the workflow.

hope this is right. when you use tiki, under "user activities" you will see each activity with the number of instances that it has. clicking on the activities, you can see the instances in detail. tiki shows instances that have ACTIVITY STATUS = running ad INSTANCES STATUS = active/aborted/exception.
however, using gui->list_user_instances, you are able to see all the instances, also that with activity status=completed.

i have seen. seems that there are some problems with join activities (3) as you say. fortunately, for now i have no join activities 😊

please be patient with a newbie student 😡
