Old Versions
#1

I have a xpdl file with process. It works fine. But now I edit this xpdl and add task script activity after start activity. And when I coming in management module after upload this file I have an error "I have not found a start activity for process". 

bpmn20 dont disable place script-activity after start-activity.

does process can start only from user activities?

 
this is a bug?
#3

Yes, a workflow can start only from a user activity.

This is not a bug.

so... but why?
 
BPMN20 (Business Process Model and Notation) allow use after start-activity any activity (user, task-script, route and etc).  
 
if on start process we need to show for user set of attributes, which may be different for various values ​​of input parameters. for this we need before user activity perform task-script and route.
 
How can we check values ​​of input parameters before show screenform for user?

I’m sorry, CMDBuild integrates many tools and standards but does not implement all the functionality of all the integrated tools.
According to the roadmap and priorities of the project we will implement gradually the most useful features.

You have to use the XPDL editor TWE 4.4.1
You can find all the necessary information in the CMDBuild Workflow Manual.
