Exercise 5 - Exclusive Gateways

Different execution paths in a process based on the state of process variables can be achieved using Exclusive Gateways. In Exercise 5 we will examine how this can be implemented by modifying the exampleorg_dicProcess.

In order to solve this exercise, you should have solved Exercise 4 and read the topics on Exclusive Gateways and Conditions.

Solutions to this exercise are found on the branch solutions/exercise-5.

Exercise Tasks

  1. Add an exclusive gateway to the exampleorg_dicProcess model and two outgoing sequence flows - the first starting the process exampleorg_cosProcess, the second stopping the process exampleorg_dicProcess without starting the process exampleorg_cosProcess.
  2. Add condition expressions to each outgoing sequence flow which decides the path that will be taken based on a boolean value.
  3. In the DicTask class, create a boolean variable which decides whether the exampleorg_cosProcess should be started based on the start Task's input parameter tutorial-input.
  4. Add the boolean variable to the process execution variables, storing the decision. It needs to have the same name as the variable used in the condition expression from 2.

Solution Verification

Maven Build and Automated Tests

Execute a maven build of the dsf-process-tutorial parent module via:

mvn clean install -Pexercise-5

Verify that the build was successful and no test failures occurred.

Process Execution and Manual Tests

To verify the exampleorg_dicProcess and exampleorg_cosProcesses can be executed successfully, we need to deploy them into DSF instances and execute the exampleorg_dicProcess. The maven install build is configured to create a process jar file with all necessary resources and copy the jar to the appropriate locations of the docker dev setup.

  1. Start the DSF FHIR server for the dic.dsf.test organization in a console at location .../dsf-process-tutorial/dev-setup:

    docker-compose up dic-fhir

    Verify the DSF FHIR server started successfully at https://dic/fhir.

  2. Start the DSF BPE server for the dic.dsf.test organization in a second console at location .../dsf-process-tutorial/dev-setup:

    docker-compose up dic-bpe

    Verify the DSF BPE server started successfully and deployed the exampleorg_dicProcess.

  3. Start the DSF FHIR server for the cos.dsf.test organization in a third at location .../dsf-process-tutorial/dev-setup:

    docker-compose up cos-fhir

    Verify the DSF FHIR server started successfully at https://cos/fhir.

  4. Start the DSF BPE server for the cos.dsf.test organization in a fourth console at location .../dsf-process-tutorial/dev-setup:

    docker-compose up cos-bpe

    Verify the DSF BPE server started successfully and deployed the exampleorg_cosProcess.

  5. Start the exampleorg_dicProcess by posting a specific FHIR Task resource to the DSF FHIR server of the dic.dsf.test organization using either cURL or the DSF FHIR server's web interface. Check out Starting A Process Via Task Resources again if you are unsure.

    Verify that the exampleorg_dicProcess was executed successfully by the dic.dsf.test DSF BPE server and possibly the exampleorg_cosProcess by the cos.dsf.test DSF BPE server, depending on whether decision of your algorithm based on the input parameter allowed to start the exampleorg_dicProcess.
