Unable to deploy dmn on camunda 7.10.0

Hi,
I was trying to deploy a bpmn sample from camunda modeler on a fresh image of camunda 7.10.0 but i receive the following error on modeler :

ENGINE-22004 Unable to transform DMN resource 'sample.dmn'. [ deploy-error ]

and the last line log shows :

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Error: URI=null Line=2: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'definitions'.

I managed to deploy on another image camunda:latest, but my project is based on camunda:7.10…

Thanks for your help

François.

PS : i tried to deploy the same on

  • 7.11.0 : same error
  • 7.12:0 :same error
  • 7.13.0: => good, deployment success

So what should I do on 7.10 to be able to deploy a DMN ?
thx.

Hi @francois_vecteurplus,

I think you have to use a Camunda modeler version that fits to your Camunda engine version.

From a quick look at the docs of Camunda 7.10 (Camunda BPM documentation | docs.camunda.org) I could not find the matching version number.

You can download older versions of the modeler here: Camunda Download Center -

Hope this helps, Ingo
