Heading menu "Processes" is disabled

Old Versions
#1

Hi everyone!

We'd like to explore the Processes feature that CMDBuild offers, but the heading menu "Processes" (in the Administration module) seems to be disabled. 

Despite the fact that it's disabled, I've managed to create a couple of processes, but the system threw an error when I created them. Also, it won't let me update them.

Please see these images:

I'd appreciate if you could help me with making the "Processes" menu functional.

Thanks!

If the
Process menu is disabled in the Administration Module, it means that the
workflow engine is disabled or configured with incorrect parameters in
the same Administration Module (menu “Configuration” / “Workflow page”),
or that the webapp of the workflow engine Shark is not installed correctly or is configured incorrectly in the Tomcat configuration files.

The correct installation of Shark is described in the CMDBuild Technical Manual which can be downloaded from the CMDBuild project website.

Hi everyone,

 
We've managed to make the workflow module work (it seems the TWS hadn't been installed correctly).
 
Now, we're facing some other challenges.
 
(1) The "Processes" heading menu is only being shown for users that are included in the "SuperUser" group.
For other users that are not part of the "SuperUser" group, "Processes" is not being displayed, even that the "Processes" feature is not disabled (see images: https://i.imgur.com/5JYOshR.png and https://i.imgur.com/qhPqOZC.png).
 
(2) Also, how should an activity be set so that it can only be performed by a single group. For instance, if we want the "RFC registration" activity to be performed by the Helpdesk guys only, how can we accomplish that? We've read the Workflow Manual but it's not detailed if that should be done in the activity or in the lane and how.
 
Thanks!

Hi all,

 
Apart from what I described in my previous post, I noticed that, if I edit the xpdl workflow files with a newer version of TWE (for instance, 5.0.1), I can't upload those files after editing them (CMDBuild throws this error message: https://i.imgur.com/W7OffZZ.png).
 
So I wanted to confirm if xpdl files can only be edited with TWE 4.4 (as a reference, we're using CMDBuild 2.3.4).
 
Thanks in advance,
Fabian
