Hi all,
Before I ask my question, just wanted to know if others have noticed
that the Hudson docs for Drools 5 is not available online. Or maybe
it's just me?
I'm a little bit of a beginner in this particular area on the Drools
flow and its persistence mechanism. I have a couple questions that
maybe someone can answer for me.
Say that I have a long-running workflow process. When it reaches a
human task (ie. take out trash), the workflow gets saved/persisted to
the DB. Once the trash is taken out, the user updates this status.
The workflow continues and finishes.
My questions are fairly simple:
1) How would I query for a list of human tasks that have not yet been
completed? I believe the answer for this one is simply in the demo/
test/example codes, but somehow I can't seem to find it. I see mostly
codes that sends complete/fail methods to indicate that the process is
completed. Is there an API for this that I can look at?
2) Is there an API that allows me to query completed items, failed
items, etc? It'd be great if someone can point to the right class.
3) What happens to old long-running processes currently still waiting
to be finished (and stored in the DB) when I decide to change the
workflow process (either manually or in Guvnor)? What would be a good
way in dealing with a situation with changing workflow processes?
Create a new workflow (with a new workflow id) and have all new
requests go through the new workflow? If that's the case, then how
would one "upgrade" the old workflow processes? I believe jBPM also
has an issue with this, along with all other workflow engines with
long-running processes. Is there a recommended way?
4) Is it a good idea to just have Drools store the workflow status
data (ie. task start and completion date) and use that to query and
calculate performance or is it better to create an additional workflow
step that updates my own database table containing these data? Is
there also a recommended way for this procedure?
I appreciate any insights and recommendations that you have.
Thanks,
Chris
