REST API Kickoff case for actor with form

Q&A
1

Hi All,

I’m pretty new to BonitaBPM. I would like to build a simple BPM flow, where my flow starts from a REST call. In my flow I just used the normal start event. After this call, the actor in the human task should receive a case where he has to fill in the form (which I’ve defined in the human task).

I have defined a new organization and I also mapped the user (from my human task) to the actor in de organization. I also set the authenication to authenicated user (where I define my username and password - admin rights).

After deploying this flow in my Bonita server env, I did the two steps below:

sadly enough I receive

I think I did something terribly wrong with my BPM flow. Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Note that you can still connect to the Bonita BPM Portal (in your case at: http://localhost:8080/bonita/) as administrator, that should allow you to investigate a little bit more and find out if the case was created and to whom the task is assigned if it exists.

Thank you for your answer. I see nothing appear in the administrator portal. What I did on purpose is to set no initiator on the pool, so that the pool can only be triggered programmatically. Is this the right thing to do?

Does someone have a demo case where a bpm flow is getting starter by a rest call (from soapui)? This will help me a lot. Thanks in advance!
