Documentation​

The Flowable Open Source project also has extensive documentation available which can be found at https://www.flowable.com/open-source/docs/oss-introduction.

Highlights​

Flowable Work​

  • Added a new dashboard feature that allows a user with the dashboard permission to create new dashboard pages using the dashboard components that are available within Flowable Work. A dashboard page can be constructed visually by a user and any number of dashboard components can be positioned and sized as needed. Out-of-the-box a number of dashboard components like pie and bar charts and data tables are available, and using Flowable Design, additional dashboard components can be made available.

  • Added support to connect with Sharepoint out-of-the-box. When enabled, an attachment field in a form can be configured to allow for Sharepoint files to be added. In this way, documents in Sharepoint can be directly linked to a case, process or task in Flowable. A delegated authentication option is supported where both Flowable and Sharepoint are configured against the same Azure Directory Service and can share the authenticated user. Additionally a client secret based authentication is supported that uses a technical user to authenticate against Sharepoint. This feature is available as an additional license option. Please reach out to your Flowable account manager or otherwise Flowable sales to get more information about this.

  • Added support for SLA tracking on human and user tasks in CMMN and BPMN. The reaction time can be tracked with a new action that is available on a human and user task with a referenced SLA model that has reaction time enabled. The person that reacts to a task is stored, together with the claimed and completed by user. For each human and user task a reaction time and completion time SLA can be defined and this will be tracked by Flowable. Information about the average reaction and completion time, how many times the SLA has been breached etc can be used in the new dashboard feature to be displayed in charts. In addition, initialization and escalation steps can be configured that will be triggered when creating the task and when a defined date / time has been reached. In such a step for example the priority of the task can be changed, or the assignment can be set or an escalation case or process can be started, amongst other options.

  • Improved accessibility support to allow for using keyboard navigation to navigate through the Flowable Work UI elements. This also includes using the keyboard and the tab component in specific to navigate through a start, task or work form.

  • Improved error logging information to include references to the instance id and other available information when applicable.

  • An improved Flowable draw component is available that uses the same ReactFlow logic as the Flowable Design diagram logic to create a CMMN, BPMN and DRD view in HTML. With this change, the old Raphael based draw component is removed.

  • There are now external worker clients available to make it easier to use implement the logic for external worker tasks. The Spring Boot Java client can be found here https://github.com/flowable/flowable-external-client-java. The Python client can be found here https://github.com/flowable/flowable-external-client-python. And the JS client can be found here https://github.com/flowable/flowable-external-client-js. there is also a .NET client which will be made available from this project page https://github.com/flowable/flowable-external-client.net.

  • The case, process and task permissions for an admin user can be configured in a security policy model. By default, an admin user has all permissions on a case, process and task, as it was before the 3.15.0 release.

  • Added support to set the business status of a case instance on a stage in a similar way as it was already supported for milestones.

  • Added support to reference case and process instance properties like businessKey and businessStatus in template models and support accessing root and parent scoped variables.

  • Added support to define safety measures for the CMMN and BPMN engines, to for example limit the amount of cycles that are allowed in a case or process instance.

  • Added a hookpoint to intercept form save and complete logic with the CoreRestDataInterceptor interface to implement custom logic on a form payload before any variables and form instance data is created.

  • Added option to migrated closed historic case instances to a new case definition version to for example add a reactivation listener. Note that no action instance will be created for the migrated historic case instance, this needs to be done in additional logic when needed.

  • Fixed issue with migrating case or process instances with data object variables.

  • Fixed issue with event registry event listeners in CMMN getting triggered even if the available condition evaluates to false.

  • Added option to enable sorting on LDAP user and group queries.

  • Data tables can now be configured to use grouping. In this way the data table main rows are grouped together based on a grouping value, and when expanded the rows for this group are shown.

  • Added a new switcher component that allows to define a boolean value, similar like a checkbox component.

  • A debounce has been added by default to all filterable fields with REST interaction to only do a new REST call after the typing has been stopped.

  • Fixed issue when multiple REST calls are fired for a REST select field or another REST datasource form field and the last response is handled before any earlier responses are processed. Improved logic has been implemented to ensure that only the last response will be processed.

  • Added support to configure a custom icon url for an action button.

  • Added internalization support for data object data tables column names.

  • A row url target on a data table can contain an expression that is resolved when the data table is loaded.

  • Added support to disable the favorite button for data object data tables.

  • Added a new FE function flw.columnOnlyHasNullValues to support hiding a column that contains only null values.

  • Added new FE functions to interact with the tab component, flw.getActiveTab(fieldId) to get the current active tab and flw.setActiveTab(fielId, newTab) to set a new active tab.

  • Added support for Azure SQL Server.

  • Added support for AWS Aurora database.

Flowable Engage​

  • Fixed issue with conversation filters showing a wrong count update for archived and closed conversations.

  • Fixed issue with a task created in a conversation not setting the correct tenant id.

  • Fixed issue when creating a ticket in a desk conversation to use the correct tenant id when looking up the template definition for the desk message.

Flowable Design​

  • Added support to generate service, data object and data dictionary models for a Salesforce sObject like Lead and Account. This feature is available as an additional license option. Please reach out to your Flowable account manager or otherwise Flowable sales to get more information about this.

  • Added support to generate a service model from an OpenAPI file to make it easy to connect to an external service that has an OpenAPI description.

  • Added new feature with a palette editor that can be used to customize the CMMN, BPMN and Form palettes and add custom elements and properties to a palette. It's also still possible to customize a palette using JSON and XML files.

  • Added a new SLA editor that allows to define SLA models that can be referenced from human and user tasks in CMMN and BPMN to enable SLA timers.

  • Added an option in the CMMN, BPMN and Form editor to change the type of an element or form field. Note that the element can be changed to a type that is part of the same group.

  • In the form editor it's now possible to have spacing between form fields on the same row. When a form model is imported from the Angular Design application the spacing is applied automatically. For a form model created in the React Design application a space element can be added that is available in the palette. The space element can be changed in size as needed.

  • Improved the query editor with more low code capabilities to create a query without having to fill-in the Elasticssearch query.

  • Added a new dashboard component editor to define a new component that can be used in the dashboard feature in Work. A dashboard component references a query model that is defined using the query editor.

  • Added support to define read and write permissions on a private workspace. In this way it can be configured which users should only have read access and which users should have full write permissions for the apps and models in a specific workspace.

  • Added support to configure a shared workspace on a workspace level. This allows for referencing models from another workspace so that the shared workspace can be used to store default models that can be re-used in apps in different workspaces. In the Angular Design application this was known as the default tenant support, and this is now replaced with the shared workspace concept.

  • Added support to reference models from other apps in the same workspace or the configured shared workspace. In the model overview in an app it's shown if a model is referenced from another app or if the model is directly included in the app. When exporting an app a choice is provided to export all models or only directly included models of an app.

  • A model from a different app in the same or shared workspace can be included in an app.

  • Required properties of an element in the CMMN, BPMN, DRD and Form editors are highlighted in the properties panel.

  • Added admin column to the security policy model, to allow to define the permissions for an admin user. By default the admin user has all permissions.

  • Added an option to duplicate an existing model.

  • Added a new task element in CMMN and BPMN to transform content items into a PDF document. This is supported for images, HTML, Word and Excel source content types.

Flowable Control​

  • The diagram component for CMMN and BPMN diagrams has been replaced with a new component that is based on the ReactFlow, just like the React Design application.

  • Added more search options to find case, process and task instances based on a root instance id or parent instance id.

  • Added the list of timer and deadletter jobs in the case and process instance details view.

  • Added support to re-index content items.

  • Fixed issue that was not showing the scope information on a content item.

Flowable Inspect​

  • Added a new debugging support in Inspect that shows the request and response information for service registry tasks in CMMN and BPMN.

  • Added support to show the form tab also in the custom case view for case page forms and task forms.

  • When a data object variable is viewed in Inspect, now the JSON representation is shown.

  • Improved the test feedback when comparing JSON values. The order in the object properties is not validated anymore and can be random, the order in a json array is still validated.

Upgrade information​

  • Flowable requires a minimum Java 17 version due to the upgrade to Spring Boot 3.x.

  • Flowable requires a Jakarta EE version 9+ compliant web container, due to the upgrade to Spring Boot 3.x. For Tomcat this means at minimum Tomcat version 10. Also note that any javax.servlet dependencies used in your project should also be migrated to Jakarta.

  • The Flowable Open Source dependency has been upgrade to Flowable 7.x to also support the move to Spring Boot 3.x, Java 17 and Jakarta namespace for the CMMN, BPMN and DMN engines.

  • This is the last major release that both the Angular Design as well as the new React Design applications are provided. Starting with the next major release in July 2024 only the React Design application will be provided. We therefore encourage every Design user to move to the React Design version and any bugs reported will be fixed with priority. Note that the Angular Design application in 3.15 wasn't upgraded to Spring Boot 3, but stayed on Spring Boot 2.7.x, because it's in maintenance mode and upgrading to Spring Boot 3 would mean a lot of changes.

  • The async history support has been removed as it was already deprecated since version 3.9 and the default historic data handling was already changed to synchronous since that version. This means that the historic data updates always happens in the same transaction as storing the runtime data.

  • Spring Security has done a number of changes in their API. The following changes should be done to the Security configuration:

    • Replace HttpSecurity#requestMatcher with HttpSecurity#securityMatcher

    • Replace HttpSecurity#authorizeRequests with HttpSecurity#authorizeHttpRequests

    • Replace HttpSecurity#authorizeHttpRequests().antMatchers("some path") with HttpSecurity#authorizeHttpRequests().requestMatchers(antMatcher("some path"))

    • Replace HttpSecurity#csrf().ignoringAntMatchers("some path") with HttpSecurity#authorizeHttpRequests().ignoringRequestMatchers(antMatcher("some path"))

  • Using trailing slashes is deprecated and disabled by default. e.g. if you were invoking the Flowable REST API with URL ending with / then this is no longer supported. e.g. process-api/repository/definitions/ should be replaced with process-api/repository/definitions

  • To your OAuth Security filter chain add the following: .defaultAuthenticationEntryPointFor(new HttpStatusEntryPoint(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED), RequestMatchers.not(new DispatcherTypeRequestMatcher(DispatcherType.ERROR))) .defaultAuthenticationEntryPointFor((request, response, authException) -> {}, new DispatcherTypeRequestMatcher(DispatcherType.ERROR)) and to your basic authentication filter chain add the following: .defaultAuthenticationEntryPointFor((request, response, authException) -> {}, new DispatcherTypeRequestMatcher(DispatcherType.ERROR)) to the default Http Security exception handling

  • The properties management.metrics.export.<product> have been replaced with management.<product>.metrics.export. e.g. management.metrics.export.elastic should be replaced with management.elastic.metrics.export and management.metrics.export.prometheus should be replaced with management.prometheus.metrics.export

Spring Boot​

  • Flowable has upgrade from Spring Boot 2.7.x to the new 3.x version, in specific version 3.1.6. This means that there is a minimum requirement of Java 17 to run Flowable.

  • Base Spring Boot version should be upgraded to at least 3.1.2. Please read the Spring Boot 3.0 and Spring Boot 3.1 release notes before upgrading.

React​

  • The React version should be upgraded to the latest 18 version.

Pentest report​

  • A new pentest has been performed on Flowable Work and the results are available via your Flowable account manager or contact person.

Work and Engage Database changes​

  • Added a new table FLW_SLA_DEFINITION to store the SLA definitions.

  • Added a new table FLW_SLA_AUDIT to store information about SLA data related to currently tasks.

  • Added a new table FLW_TEN_VARIABLE to store tenant specific variable data.

  • Added a new table FLW_DASHBOARD to store the user specific dashboard information.

  • Added a new table FLW_DASHBOARD_COMP_DEFINITION to store the dashboard component definitions.

  • Added new columns STATE_, IN_PROGRESS_TIME_, IN_PROGRESS_STARTED_BY_, CLAIMED_BY_, SUSPENDED_TIME_, SUSPENDED_BY_, IN_PROGRESS_DUE_DATE_ to the ACT_RU_TASK and ACT_HI_TASKINST tables to store additional information on tasks to support the new SLA feature.

  • Added new column SCOPE_DEFINITION_KEY_ to the ACT_RU_EVENT_SUBSCR table to store a definition key value for manual event subscriptions.

Design Database changes​

  • No database changes, but do note that in 3.14.3 by exception also Design database changes were applied. For overview purpose this change is included here as well as the second item in the list.
  • From 3.14.3 release notes: "Added support for defining a shared workspace for the current selected workspace in the React Design application. This enables the possibility to use a workspace for reusable models and add a reference to a reusable model that is part of the chosen shared workspace. For example a reusable form can be selected from the shared workspace when adding a form reference for a user task in a BPMN process model in the current workspace. On export of the app the choice can be made to export all models, including the referenced models, or only the directly included models from the app. To support the shared workspace a new column SHAREDWORKSPACE_ID had to be added to the FLW_DE_WORKSPACE of React Design. Database changes are normally not part of a minor release, but for this functionality we had to make an exception".

Control Database changes​

  • No database changes.

Docker images updates​

  • The Docker images run now in 'rootless mode'. The application process runs as the non-root 'flowable' user (uid=100).
