Import diagrams from BizAgi

Q&A
1

Hi,
I have decided to switch from BizAgi to Bonita. But I can’t import the processus modeled with Bizagi into Bonita.

Any idea how could I do it ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Arthur,

Bonita can import diagrams in BPMN 2.0, XPDL 1.0, jBPM 3.2 formats.
If you want to import your diagram, you have to export it first from Bizagi from one of those formats (I would recommend using BPMN 2.0 in your case) and then import the new file.

I hope my answer is useful. If you think so, could you please validate it?
Moreover, I have noticed that you had created 3 times the same question, I will delete the other questions.

I am also needing to import XPDL files with the version 2.2 from Bizagi. I cannot use BPMN because it doesn't export the extended attributes from my Tasks. Only XPDL 2.2 is exportable with extended attributes in Bizagi. Is there a roadmap to support XPDL 2.2 in the future?

I need to do the same.  I import a bpmn 2.0 (bpmn extension exported by Bizagi), Bonita says: "Import OK" but the diagram is not imported correctly.  In the Bizagi diagram, there is a lot of activities, but in Bonita import, no show that activities.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Oscar,

Could you please share with us your file (as well as the Bizagi version of the modeler you are using) so we can give it a try to give it a try/reproduce?

Hi Delphine,
I have already tried to export the BizAgi in all these formats, but it doesn’t work.

Do you know why ?

Hi Arthur,
I found this Q&A on Bizagi forum which explains how to export in XPDL : http://feedback.bizagi.com/en/topic/export-in-bpmn-20-xml. You can try this approach and then import it in Bonita.

Thanks for your help but this isn’t the solution. BizAgi exports the models using XPDL 2.0 and bonita can only import XPDL 1.0 s when I do that, Bonita tells me that it can’t import the model.

From what I read in Bizagi’s resources, you have an option to export it in BPMN 2.0 if you use Bizagi Modeler 2.8.0.8 : http://help.bizagi.com/process-modeler/en/index.html?exporting_to_bpmn.htm

Could it be used as a workaround?

It doesn’t work as I want to import models from Bizagi into Bonita and not the other way

Actually I think you misunderstood me. From what I read in the link I shared is that this specific version of Bizagi Modeler gives you the ability to share a bpmn 2.0 file with other tools. And this tutorial explains you how to export the Bizagi diagram into a bpmn 2.0 file.

Then you can import the bpmn file into Bonita Studio. Would it work?

Hi Arthur, 

Have you finally managed to export and import your process diagram ?

Hi Thomas,

We don't have plans to support XPDL 2.2. We are focused on the BPMN2 standard
