Re: [soa-pmc] submission to ECON?

Sure, here's sort of what I was thinking...



Great, thanks. Can you send some sample BPMN serialization files just to test compatibility?

This sounds great Marc, looks like we have a plan. One of the features I'd like to show off in the BPMN2 editor is the multi-diagram capbility: we could essentially build a high-level choreography diagram which models the participants and message flows, and within the same bpmn file, model the underlying processes for each participant. Not sure if Stardust can consume this type of model, and not even sure it would apply to this scenario, but it's something to think about.

I'll assume we can use the WSDLs and XSDs from the EasySOA sample that Marc D provided as a starting point?

As I said before, I'll be on vacation next week, but I will check emails occasionally (most likely off hours when my wife isn't looking ;)

Bob


All,

 

I looked at the mail thread. As Adrian pointed out, it seems not trivial (at least I could not manage) to easily get something out of Marc D’ example we could use for our end-to-end approach – no offense Marc …

 

However, I like the general scenario of

 

One or more charity organisations using a platform provided by a third-party (may be a national benefits roof organization) to offer vacation funding for those in need.

 

We could model two core use cases/processes:

 

1.       Onboarding of a new charity organization, specification of criteria/rules for applicants

2.       Application of an individual in need for funding, dispatching of this application to one of the charity organizations, analysis and approval steps (possibly 4-eyes-principle) and applicant notification.

 

Hence, we would have as participants

 

·         Platform operators from the roof organization running/operating the system

·         Administrators of the charity organizations

 

Applicants would only be implicit participants kicking of workflows via a little portal and receiving notifications.

 

We might use Web Services for

 

·         Address validation

·         Others?

 

We may draft a very simplistic web portal for

 

·         Charity organization registration (kicking of process 1)

·         Application for vacation funding (kicking of process 2)

 

The rest could be done entirely with process logic, auto-generated screens and rules.

 

I would start very simple with all of the above and add more if we have time.

 

If you guys are OK with the approach we could work on it with the following work packets

 

·         Marc D. to think about more WSs.

·         Marc to sketch out the above on Stardust and possibly host a demo environment we all can play with on SunGard facilities. Byproduct would also be XSDs Marc D. could use.

·         Bob to adopt the BPMN (which during the demo would be passed from Bob to Marc as discussed) and think about how to highlight features of the BPMN2 editor.

·         Adrian to adopt Bob’s and Marc’s BPMN back and think about how to create this from Mangrove (conscious that during the demo, Adrian would be the first in the value chain as discussed)

 

What do you think?

 

I could have a first version possibly after the weekend.

 

Marc

Hi Marc,

Have you had a chance to look at this in more detail? Anything to share yet?

Bob


Agree with Bob: We have to nail it down this week.

 

I will block half a day tomorrow to look through the material and come up with some suggestions. From a generic perspective, it should not be too complicated:

 

·         2 interactive steps (User/Manual Tasks) performed by two different Participants

·         2 different Events to kick off the process (e.g. Timer and Message)

·         1-2 Web Service calls in Service Activities

·         1 Script/Rules Task to e.g. map between payload

·         Data Structures (XSD) to be used in WS and Process

 

If you agree, let’s find a business scenario in what Marc D. send and map.

Hey all,

This looks like a good start, but have you guys given any more thought to this? Adrian, what would be used as a starting point for Mangrove? Marc, any thoughts on the BPMN process flows that might be involved?

We have a little less than 3 weeks before EclipseCon and I will be away on PTO March 11-15 (bad timing, I know, but this trip was already planned before EclipseCon and too late to change it now).

Hi guys

Happy to know it helps !

Here's a description of the actual, original use case.
Please have a look, and help decide which parts should be made in how many BPMN(s). It can be changed, but *if you want to reuse applications* within limits.

(from https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA/wiki/Axxx-use-case )

NAHV (National Agency for Holiday Vouchers) sells to employees entreprise-sponsored holiday vouchers. AXXX uses the benefits to fulfill its social misssion as a public service, by allowing underpriviledged people to go on holidays, and first of all through its flagship APV (Holiday Project Help) program.
This is done by two separate departments (respectively, DCV and DPS) with each their own IT. At first, DPS worked mainly with paper and Excel forms, but DPS IT is now going towards providing complete solutions to DPS business employees within a fully architectured information system. This entails (subcontracted) development of dedicated business applications, as well as integrating them together and above all with DCV IT data and applications, all according to SOA principles.

Here are the steps of getting a new a new social partner in the APV program :

* in NAHV DCV department, a social partner manager convinces a social partner (inventing a few ones : Homelessness Charity, Rehabilitation Service, Church Unemployment Trust) to get in NAHV's APV (Holiday Project Help) social help program
* the social partner manager goes in the social partner management CRM application "Pivotal" (or it could be a BPM solution frontend ??) and tells it about that
* this triggers an orchestration (implemented in Talend ESB, thought could be within a BPMN)

through creerPrecompte of https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/blob/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/axxx-dps-apv/axxx-dps-apv-core/src/main/resources/api/PrecomptePartenaireService.wsdl

   * that 1. checks known administrative information about said social partner, using the online Uniserv checkAddress service
   * 2. sends it to the "APV" application that toolifies the APV program

through https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/blob/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/axxx-dps-apv/axxx-dps-apv-core/src/main/resources/api/PrecomptePartenaireService.wsdl

* the APV application creates a "pre-account" (account stub ?) for the social partner
* APV managers fill this account stub with : number of people that the social partner anticipate to send on holidays, amount of money that is required for that, finally a signed contract between bith parties
* APV manager approves the transformation to a full fledged account

now the social partner is able to use the APV application to send underpriviledged people on holidays :
* he creates a new "holiday project" with indicative information (where, when)
* he fills it with : total number of people & amount of money used
* he approves / validates / publishes it
* which locks it, computes global aggregegate amounts (people, money)
* and sends these global key indicators to the Pivotal application so it will be displayed to the social partner manager in its dashboard

through Information_APV of https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/blob/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/axxx-dcv-pivotal/src/main/resources/api/ContactSvc.asmx.wsdl

Hi guys,

 

So I think it’s great we are beginning to think about the demo and so on, this should give us some time to actually achieve something integrated. What I could show is:

-          Starting from a domain-specific representation of the business process, Mangrove should generate a first BPMN stub. This could contain a simple BPMN diagram as well as perhaps the web services that correspond to the domain concepts, associated to their appropriate activities. Of course this BPMN diagram would then be enriched with the BPMN editor, before being deployed.

-          The mangrove transformation could also generate SCA from this. Now this may not be used for full deployment but we can use this to showcase the fact that we can add architectural elements in case we are not happy with simple WS invocation.

 

It would be great If we can come up with a couple of BPMN diagrams that we can discuss on, in order to move all this forward. I created this page:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mangrove/ECon2013Demo

 

we can use it as a discussion page and for sharing of up-to-date diagrams etc. I put it under the Mangrove wiki but if you think it’s more appropriate to put it under a SOA wiki we can always create one!

 

Marc D, since you have the web services for the social-help use-case, can you put together a first draft of a simple BPMN diagram that shows what can be achieved in such a use-case?

 

Cheers,

Adrian.

Hi Marc, Bob

I second all that.

My 2 cents : Open Wide has just completed a social help-themed SOA use case inspired from one of its clients.
I've already introduced it at ECE though it wasn't developed then, see introduction & business requirements in slides 11-12 of http://fr.slideshare.net/mdutoo/eclipseconeurope2012-soa-talend-with-easysoa
(more at See introduction at https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA/wiki/Axxx-use-case )

Full code is at https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/tree/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/
Notably WSDLs :
https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/tree/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/axxx-dcv-pivotal/src/main/resources/api
https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/tree/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/axxx-dps-apv/axxx-dps-apv-core/src/main/resources/api
https://github.com/easysoa/EasySOA-Incubation/tree/master/easysoa-samples/easysoa-samples-axxx/axxx-easysoa-model/src/main/resources

There are VMs where everything is deployed, I can probably give you the URLs, howeverI don't know if I can publish them in the open...

Maybe it can be fully reused, or only the business case & WSDLs (that's what we did with Cédric of Talend at ECE, since the original Uniserv checkAddress WSDL is too complex)... at least it'll have fuelled our imagination for ECon !

Best regards,
Marc D. :)

Thanks, Bob. That comes timely. I was going to send a similar request.

 

Suggestions:

 

·         We need an application domain for our sample scenario. Ideas? Financial systems? Logistics? Retail? Something fancier?

·         You  and I start exchanging sample BPMN models for that domain.

·         Model should contain steps being supposed to invoke Web Services. Need WSDL.

·         Marc D. to prepare exposing this Web Service.

Hi all,

I just wanted to catch up with everyone and get a (somewhat) early start on preparing for the SOA Symposium. I'm sure at some point we'll need to get serious and make sure we're all reading from the same script, but I just wanted to toss around some ideas sooner rather than later.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Cheers!

Hi guys

I guess we all got the news already, but just to say it, the Eclipse Con program is out and the SOA Symposium is in, so we're getting a little bit closer to the "beer part" ;)

Bob,

 

find attached my slide deck I used at EclipseCon Europe 2012. One of the biggest issues there was, that our presentations were not really connected. This is what we intend to address in Boston.

 

Regarding Stardust:

 

·         If you have build issues, please post them in the forum. We may help.

·         Stardust’s Eclipse Modeler creates indeed XPDL (and the engine consumes it), but this modeler is on sunset – we may want to use yours as indicated on the Stardust HP. We are focusing on our Browser Modeler (also part of the Stardust code base and called Lightdust) which is working on BPMN and XPDL. For BPMN we are using the Eclipse BPMN2 Metamodel underneath as I think you do. Hence, this should work smoothly (although I agree that we should test at the earliest). We will be using the Browser Modeler in Boston. We can exchange sample models to check compatibility immediately.

 

Happy to hop on a conf call any time next week.

 

Marc

Hi Marc,

Not sure if this has been asked before, but was the EclipseCon Europe presentation recorded, or is there a slide deck available? I would be interested in seeing the "show" in its entirety.

I've started looking seriously at Stardust and am currently running into some build issues, but hope to have those resolved soon. What worries me, though, is that the Process Model editor appears to only handle XPDL. It was my understanding that BPMN2 was supported also - am I missing something?

When you have some spare time, maybe we could do a conference call and discuss the eclipsecon 2013 presentation. I'd like to get started on preparing something sooner rather than later...just in case ;)

Cheers!
Bob


Great. Thanks, Bob. May be alternatively to “open the process model alternatively with the BPMN2 modeler”, we should open subsequently with both editors to show that both may modified and be used by their respective audiences without breaking things. Should not be a biggy as we both work on the same metamodel implementation. An nothing is wrong with a little regression test …

Bob, just added you to the submission.

I suggest you insert a line saying that, in parallel to modeling the process in Stardust modeler in Orion, you can benefit of the BPMN2 standard to view and edit it in Eclipse thanks to the BPMN2 editor...

OK, that sounds good to me (especially the "beers" part - I can certainly handle that ;)

Can you list me as one of the speakers for the current SOA-Track session and just let me know about how much presentation time I'll have? Is this something we can work out later (maybe in tomorrow's PMC call?)


So, I don't think I'll be able to put something together for the editor by today's deadline, but I could certainly ride your coattails if you'll let me ;)

[marc.gille] Coattail right away.

I'll have much more free time over the Christmas holidays to devote to a presentation - what kind of integration/tutorial were you thinking about Marc?

[marc.gille] Most importantly all tools to be used in an integrated fashion. At least your modeler and Stardust (and its Browser Modeler) should work seamlessly as we are both using BPMN2 metamodel.

Some Web Service + UI Mashup, deploy, run, beers.

That was my thinking.

Hi Marc,

 

So far it seems we are the only ones interested in proposing a session. It would be great if you could put a submission in, you can add me as a co-author. I suggest keeping it simple for now, basically just saying that following our successful SOA Symposium in ECON EU, we are planning to provide a more focused tutorial, focused on practical demos, to keep the momentum going. There are many things happening in this space and we can certainly show interesting things in Boston. One idea is to also have a talk accepted, like the Modelling Symposium, with lightning talks from various projects:

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/modelling-symposium

 

I will be away from Sunday for a week but I can keep in touch by email.
