Update a .form or a .bpmn in a process being executed with SpringBoot

olvegam · August 28, 2023, 2:28pm

I am executing a spring-boot project and need to update a .bpmn ¿how can I update it without re-running the spring-boot project? is it possible?

This is my current setup:

Camunda Version - v7.19.0
Database type - H2 Local
BPMN files or troublesome source code - I am using the Lafayette project on GitHub - camunda-community-hub/Camunda-7-Spring-Boot-Tutorial-Lafayette: This project is used as part of a video tutorial in order to show how you can use various features of Camunda in a spring boot application
What is currently happening?
I fixed a typo-error in the process.bpm (attached). I want to start a new instance but using this fixed file process.bpmn.
process.bpmn (3.9 KB)
What are your expectations?
I expect there is a way to do it without re-runing all the project again.

Hi @olvegam ,

for sure this is possible both via rest api and java code.

Regarding the rest api approach, here you will find more information on how to build such a request:
https://docs.camunda.org/rest/camunda-bpm-platform/7.19-SNAPSHOT/#tag/Deployment/operation/createDeployment

If you rather want to go the coding way, the repository service should be a good entry point. Using this you could also potentially implement a file watcher which automatically deploys whenever the file changes. Obviously this heavily depends on your usecase.
