As Camunda fox included the Activiti engine you have to perform the activit migration as well.

Reading this Guide

This guide uses a number of variables to denote common path names and constants:

  • $DATABASE expresses the target database platform, e.g., DB2, MySql, etc.
  • $DISTRIBUTION_PATH represents the path of the downloaded pre-packaged Camunda BPM distribution, e.g., camunda-bpm-tomcat-$PLATFORM_VERSION.zip or camunda-bpm-tomcat-$PLATFORM_VERSION.tar.gz for Tomcat, etc.
  • $PLATFORM_VERSION denotes the version of the Camunda BPM platform you want to install, e.g., 7.0.0.
  • $FOX_HOME points to the Camunda fox server main directory.
  • $FOX_VERSION denotes the version of the Camunda fox platform you have installed, e.g., 6.2.4.

Before you can start with the migration from Camunda fox to Camunda BPM, we recommend that you download the pre-packaged distribution corresponding to your Camunda fox server.

Migrate Your Process Application

To migrate your process application from Camunda fox to Camunda BPM, you need to follow these steps:

  • Do the Activiti migration as described, as Camunda fox included the Activiti engine.
  • Remove the fox-platform-client.x.jar from your deployment - it is not needed anymore.
  • Add a Process Application Class, see Process Applications.
  • If you don’t use our engine as embedded jar, you should set your maven-dependency for it to provided-scope
  • Adjust the processes.xml to the new format, see Process Applications.
  • If you completely migrate to our new distribution, you have to adjust your persistence.xml from FoxEngineDS to ProcessEngine
  • If you use the new Camunda Tasklist component, you have to adjust the formKey, as described in the Getting Started section. We will provide more information soon. For JSF-Formkeys, your formkey should have the following format: //
    .jsf. E.g., /loan-approval/request-loan.jsf
  • If you use the fox.taskForm bean, make sure you have the camunda-engine-cdi dependency on your classpath:

<%- @partial(‘camunda-bom.html.eco’, @, {}) %>


org.camunda.bpm
camunda-engine-cdi

  • If you use @Inject with TaskForm, you have to add a @Named("…") annotation to the @Inject annotation due to backward-compatibility of fox.taskForm. There you have two choices: If you are using fox.taskForm in your process application and don’t want to update all your jsf pages and beans you should use @Named("fox.taskForm"), otherwise you should use @Named("camundaTaskForm"). Your application server should write an error or a warning if you use the wrong one. So be careful! However, we recommend that you use the annotation @Named("camundaTaskForm").

  • Since Camunda BPM 7.0, the unique constraint for the business key has been removed in the runtime and history tables and the database schema create and drop scripts. The migration scripts do not include the drop statements of the unique constraint for the business key. So if you do not rely on the unique constraint for the business key, you can delete the unique constraint yourself. See the following documentation about the Business Key to delete the unique constraint corresponding to your database.

  • If you do a JNDI lookup to get one of the Platform Services (i.e., ProcessArchiveService or ProcessEngineService), you have to adjust the JNDI name to do the lookup as follows:

    • ProcessArchiveService:
      • Old JNDI name: java:global/camunda-fox-platform/process-engine/PlatformService!com.camunda.fox.platform.api.ProcessArchiveService
      • New JNDI name: java:global/camunda-bpm-platform/process-engine/ProcessApplicationService!org.camunda.bpm.ProcessApplicationService
      • Note: The name of ProcessArchiveService has changed to ProcessApplicationService.
    • ProcessEngineService:
      • Old JNDI name: java:global/camunda-fox-platform/process-engine/PlatformService!com.camunda.fox.platform.api.ProcessEngineService
      • New JNDI name: java:global/camunda-bpm-platform/process-engine/ProcessEngineService!org.camunda.bpm.ProcessEngineService

        Which Camunda fox Class Names Have Changed?

component Camunda fox class name Camunda BPM class name
fox-platform-api ProcessArchiveService ProcessApplicationService
fox-platform-client ProcessArchiveSupport DefaultEjbProcessApplication

Migrate Your Database

Be aware that there were major changes in our database structure. For migration from Camunda fox EE 6.2 and Camunda fox CE 1.34 we recommend to take a look at our migration scripts. These are located in the following folder of your downloaded pre-packaged distribution: $DISTRIBUTION_PATH/sql/upgrade. To perform the migration of your database, choose the corresponding update script $DATABASE_engine_6.2_to_7.0 according to your database platform and run it.

Migrate the Server

Update the Application Server Modules (GlassFish)

  • Delete the following modules from the folder $FOX_HOME/glassfish/lib/:
    • fox-engine-$FOX_VERSION.jar
    • fox-platform-api-$FOX_VERSION.jar
  • Merge all content from $DISTRIBUTION_PATH/modules/lib into $FOX_HOME/glassfish/lib/
  • Delete the following applications from $FOX_HOME/glassfish/domains//applications/:
    • camunda-fox-platform
    • fox-cockpit-glassfish-$FOX_VERSION
    • fox-cycle-glassfish-$FOX_VERSION
    • fox-platform-jobexecutor-rar
    • fox-tasklist-$FOX_VERSION
  • Copy the jobexecutor resource adapter $DISTRIBUTION_PATH/modules/camunda-jobexecutor-rar-$PLATFORM_VERSION.rar to $FOX_HOME/glassfish/domains//autodeploy. The jobexecutor resource adapter has to be deployed first because the artifact camunda-glassfish-ear-$PLATFORM_VERSION.ear depends on it and cannot be deployed successfully without the resource adapter. If you try to deploy both components with the auto-deploy feature in one step, you should be aware that in that case the deployment order is not defined. Due to this, we propose to startup the GlassFish to initially deploy the jobexecutor resource adapter. After a successful startup, shutdown the GlassFish application server.
  • Copy the artifact $DISTRIBUTION_PATH/modules/camunda-glassfish-ear-$PLATFORM_VERSION.ear to $FOX_HOME/glassfish/domains//autodeploy.
  • After a successful startup, the Camunda BPM platform is installed.
    Since Camunda BPM 7.0, you can configure built-in process engine plugins.

Replace the Camunda fox Webapps With Camunda BPM Webapps (GlassFish)

  • The Camunda fox webapps have been already deleted in the previous steps. So you can additionally clean up the $FOX_HOME/glassfish/domains//autodeploy/ folder and delete the following artifacts:
    • fox-cockpit-glassfish-$FOX_VERSION.war
    • fox-cycle-glassfish-$FOX_VERSION.war
    • fox-tasklist-$FOX_VERSION.war
  • Deploy the following Camunda BPMN webapps from $DISTRIBUTION_PATH/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/ to $FOX_HOME/glassfish/domains//autodeploy:
    • camunda-cycle-glassfish-$PLATFORM_VERSION.war
    • camunda-engine-rest-$PLATFORM_VERSION.war
    • camunda-webapp-glassfish-$PLATFORM_VERSION.war
  • You can delete the corresponding Cockpit tables because they are not needed anymore.
