How Shark workflow works?

[anil.soni]

Hi Friends,

I have successfully integrated Shark workflow engine with OFBiz.

I have even uploaded the xpdl file i.e. ofbiz_test.xpdl in shark repository.
But I am not able to understand how the shark is doing the workflow process.
What are the steps to  process a workflow ?

After that i see the orderProcessWorkflow.xml file in which XML data is
maintained for OrderProcess WorkFlow, but again I am not able to test or see
how order process workflow is done.

How can I test a sample workflow defined in  a xpdl file in Shark in OFBiz ?

Kindly help me to get through the situation...

The reason the shark was not enabled was the effort still left a lot to
be desired.
a workflow component was developed and SECA's are used for work and
business flow.

That's not exacty true. Actually the shark workflow was historically build above the OFBiz workflow (now in specialpurpose).
Look for shark in this page http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/lQM
There is also a ref. in FAQ

Hi,
I am also working on Shark in OFBiz. I  have read all of the previous replies regarding shark workflow ,
but in any of the mails I didn't get a clear picture how can I use shark workflow , as i want to use it
instead of ECAs and EDAs in OFBiz.

I have enabled the Shark Component. After enabling it I am able to see the Shark Framework with three links:
1.  XPDL Repositroy
2.  Process List
3.  WorkFlow List

I m attaching the screenshots for that which is(Fig A)

After that I clicked on XPDL Repository and Uploaded a ofbiz_test.xpdl and succesfully completed that
(Fig B).

Now when i click on Process List link on the main page  i am able to see the two workflow process defined in
the ofbiz_test.xpdl as shown in (Fig C)

And on clicking the workflow List link in didn't get anything there.(Fig D)

Now my problem is how to proceed further to implement workflow in OFBiz ?


Any help in this will be highly appreciated.

FYI the mailing list doesn't support big attachment (As I have noticed that you can attach text files, like patch files but not images are allowed).
To overcome from this issue either you can create new jira issue for the discussion on Shark and attach file there for reference
or you can attach image on Nabble forum and refer the link on the mailing list.
