One of the added-values included in the Bonita Open Solution Subscription Pack is the contexts feature. Contexts are useful to handle different “environments/status/contexts” of a process.
For example, by defining a “test context” and a “production context” and associating different variables to each context, there is no need to change variable values in connectors, forms, or other places where variables necessarily differ in different environments.
A context is a set of key-value pairings. Context keys (which will be replaced by a predefined value) can be used as input in most text variables.
When a process is associated with a context and then run, the context keys are replaced by the associated values defined for that context.
The online BonitaSoft documentation system includes both open source and Subscription Pack features, so we’ve added a new video tutorial in the online BonitaSoft documentation system that shows how to define contexts and associate a key-value pair with each one. (Note that videos are found at the end of a feature documentation page.)
There’s also a video tutorial that shows an example of how to use contexts in the configuration of an email connector.
Is there a video tutorial you’d like to see? Let us know via reply to this post.
