Hi all,
I'm a newbie about Bonita.
I would like to create workflow processes with Bonita using data extracted from an ERP (for example: Customers, email addresses, products, delivery dates and so on).
I think part of the information I need is described in the Connectivity chapter within the documentation.
It is not clear to me how I can define mapping between fields of an ERP database table and the variables of a Bonita diagram.
Is there any example regarding my problem?
Many thanks
Luigi
Hi,
Connectors are indeed the way to go if you want a Bonita process to interact with your ERP. Here you have a complete example of a custom connector (in this sample the connector is interacting with a BI solution). You will find there some code to illustrate how to retrieve connector input/output parameters as well as how to deal with Bonita APIs from within a connector.
From within a connector you can update process variables as follows: apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().updateProcessDataInstance("{variableName}", processInstanceId, true);
Please have a look as well to this page in the documentation in order to get more information about the different options you have in Bonita to deal with Data.
Hope it helps
Hi,
many thanks for your information.
