Sharing external task processor name among processes in same context

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

We have two processes that share the same task, implemented as an external task processor. We would like to be sure that both processes use the same topic name, is there any abstraction we can use for it, such as placing the topic in a properties file in the deployment and reference it from inside the process?

Hi @Edmondo_Porcu,

you can have a look at the Camunda Element Templates. With the Element Templates you can create a template for your task that shall be reused. In the template you can specify the topic name. And in every process that needs to have the same topic you can select this template in the Camunda Modeler to make shure that the topic name is always the same.

Here you can find more about the Element Templates.

Hope that helps.

Regards
Michael

Very helpful thank you. Is there support to create the templates in Camunda or should one create them manually?

Hi @Edmondo_Porcu,

there is no such thing as a modeler for these templates. You have to create them on your own. Chose the text-editor of your choice, create the templates and save them in the right folder in the Camunda Modeler.

Regards
Michael
