Hello everyone,
I have a team doing ERP system for different kind of companies using java maven. Our Developers started this project before I joined them and they are about to finish the project. I joined them one month ago and the manager told me to start using camunda. But developers tells that they are about to finish so they can’t integrate their project with camunda workflow engine feature. But I started modeling and automate processes using camunda 8,zeebe and spring boot anyway. Those process have much user task, some service task and also few manual tasks that exists in inventory management department. I automates like 3 process using this workflow in apache IDE, And it goes good. Which I understood from this is, in camunda it simplifies and absent codes of forms, business rules and some logics which is done before using code in traditional coding like our developer does.
So my question is What I’m gonna do after deploying, doing tasks in tasklist and viewing some output in apache IDE console? Also what is main purpose using this platform for ERP project?
Are our developers right about can’t integrating the project with workflow engine at this time?
And also which camunda platform(7 or 8) is better for ERP project?
And about those some manual task ?
Hi @Abdulaziiz, welcome to the forum!
Here are a few resources that explain the concepts of why process orchestration is useful, as well as some use cases for it:
For your other questions, I would recommend taking a look at the Camunda Academy videos and our documentation (especially the java client), so you have better context on what is needed to be achieved for your scenario (manual tasks/tasks in tasklist, connecting your project, etc.).
For your question about integrating your project, can you explain a little bit more about your code and how you and your developer teams have tried to integrate your project with Camunda?
Thank you a lot for your response
And they develop using JavaEE maven and primeface framework, mostly traditional and common coding style. About how to integrate? Thats also my question. They have no that much idea about camunda only our manager and I have its concept.
Can you provide the version of Camunda you are using? Are you using SaaS or Self-Managed? Do you have an enterprise license?
I’m using my free trial of SaaS and desktop modeler camunda 8.5 version 5.27.I don’t have a license. Is that necessary?
And in my previous question when I say manual task it is not user task I mean its like picking item from store or picking item from shop and other task like this which I have in my Purchasing process and other process. So how can handle those tasks in deploying, operating and in other orchestration processes?
hi there, you’re right. The manual task you’ve described (picking item from a store/shop) will be modeled in Camunda as a User Task. You can then assign a Form for the user task which has information on what the user has to do e.g pick up item XYZ from location ABC
after deploying and starting an instance of your process, your user can then access the tasks available through Tasklist, and choose to assign that task to themselves, and complete it.
You can find more information in the following link - User tasks | Camunda 8 Docs
