JBoss BPM Sneak Preview - a new Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) component Dashbuilder

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:45:39 PDT

As a preview to the upcoming release of a new JBoss BPM product at Red Hat, something expected to hit the market later this year, we have something kinda fun for you setup to preview another new component. Previously we walked you through setting up the JBoss BPM Web Process Designer in the Cloud, but now we are going to take a quick look at the newest component, the Dashbuilder.

This is a Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) component that allows you to connect to various datasources. For this demo you will find SQL datasources and CSV flat file datasources. There are many more options coming so watch for the datasources you want to connect too in the announcements once this is officially released.

By default the Dashbuilder project contains predefined datasources to two different CSV files located within the demo code base. It also contains three preconfigured SQL datasources for queries to jBPM tables to allow you to plug it directly into a future JBoss BPM installation.

For now I just want to share a tour of the functionality that was showcased at the Red Hat Summit booth where we also highlighted the JBoss BPM Web Process Designer. There was a lot of interest in this demonstration and the video drew participants into the booth like a fly to honey!

A Sneak Preview of the JBoss BPM BAM Dashboard.

This video is also available on YouTube.

I will post more on how to setup this demo at a later date, stay tuned and you too can start collecting BAM information and KPI's on your business activities.

General impressions of Singapore

On a work trip a few weeks ago, not too much time to tour around Singapore, but here is a small impression. It includes pictures of the training given, but none of the Singapore JBoss User Group meeting I spoke at.

The food was amazing, which is why I think the best pictures are of the food eaten!

Guest Lecture Requirement Engineering at Radboud University Nijmegen

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 07:36:16 PDT

A few times a year I give guest lectures on Business Rules and Requirement Engineering, today was the 2013 version of the later.

A nice group of students put up with my story telling over a two hour period, well, to be honest I think we wrapped it up a bit earlier than that, but you get the idea. We covered some use cases I have from a previous project, but it is representative of how it often looks in real life, thus the title is 'from the trenches.'

We covered best practices, improving the experience, staying positive no matter what, business rules, business processes, and even a bit on Red Hat as there were some questions at the end. I really enjoyed this group, so nothing left to do but wish them luck on the final!

Singapore JBUG gets a JBoss BRMS Primer

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Sun, 26 May 2013 09:53:30 PDT

I was invited to speak last night at the JBoss User Group (JBUG) in Singapore. It was to be a session that was both informative and interactive with hands on demo projects based on my Customer Evaluation and Rewards demo projects.

The crowd was a mix of students, enterprise developers, and even a few customers. I covered the basics around JBoss BRMS, explaining both Rules and BPM aspects. After this we did a hands on installation, both on Unix and Windows based machines, of the Customer Evaluation demo project. The goal being that attendees would head home with two demos on their personal
machines.

After this the attendees went to work installing the Rewards demo project and were challenged by being able to win one of three free copies of my e-book (OpenShift Primer) by being the fastest to get the demo running. They were gone in less than 5 minutes, so consider the mission accomplished.

Of course there were give aways of t-shirts, rubber balls, and stickers for the laptops. The organization put on a nice Asian buffet and the beer was free flowing during the coding. ;-)

I enjoyed meeting all the new faces and interacting with a few of our JBoss BRMS customers that showed up to chat with me during and after my session.

Thanks guys for the great evening!

jBPM Migration - generating your process future

Since its birth in late 2010, the jBPM migration tool project has been marching forward to support the transformation of your jBPM3 processes to the latest versions of jBPM. It has been a journey that covers the support of a vast array of use cases, example enterprise process projects, supports various process designers and has finally been included into the Drools / jBPM project team as an official project.

This session will outline the status of the jBPM migration tooling project. We will take a look at the background of jBPM 3 process projects and detail what is supported right now to get your processes deployed onto the current version of jBPM. We will demo the existing tooling on several real life enterprise jBPM projects and outline our strategy for the various conceptual problems we encountered in moving your process constructs to BPMN2. These examples will provide you with real life scenarios to take home as an example for your own BPM projects.

We will finish up with a demonstration of the jBPM migration tooling running in the Cloud. Each participant will depart this session fully enabled with their very own Cloud deployed jBPM Migration tooling.

JBoss BRMS (BPM) - Car Insurance Demo

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:00:28 PDT

Car Insurance Process

This is a brand new demo project that was put together by our very own Red Hat UKI SA team. They have plans to put together six product demos in this project hosted on github, starting with a pretty nice car insurance example built on JBoss EAP 6 and JBoss BRMS 5.3.1.

I extracted this part of their demo, packaged it up in the same demo framework you are used to getting from us so that you can become the JBoss Rock Star that is hiding inside of you. You can find the Car Insurance Demo here:

https://github.com/eschabell/brms-car-insurance-demo/tree/v1.0

Here is the original video tour, in seven minutes, so you can get started as quickly as possible. This video was recorded by Derek Howlett, be sure to pass you thanks to the team through him.

There were diverse people from the UKI team that put this demo together, so kudos to all of them and forgive me for not mentioning you all by name.

You will enjoy this one. :)

Writing daily for the Red Sox Life fan blog

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Mon, 06 May 2013 03:56:08 PDT

It has been a bit of a hobby for me to try and find more ways to write.

I have been publishing lots of technical content over the years, on blogs, in papers, and even a book or two along the way. This is stuff I know, but to challenge myself I have tried to go outside of the normal content and write something non-technical.

Research on the subject led me to the advice everyone seems to be giving on writing, "If you want to be a writer, you have to write every single day..."

With my schedule and lifestyle I am not always able to do that on non-technical topics, so I tried to put a deadline out to produce a short story every month or two this year. That has even proven to be too much of a challenge with my time constraints.

Then along came this invitation on Red Sox Life, a Boston Red Sox baseball fan blog that I have been a follower of for several years. I could not resist, this would be a perfect combination of baseball and writing with a daily deadline. I submitted an example, suggested a weekly segment piece and guess what? I was one of eight new writers to get selected.

You can follow my journey as I try to write a bit different angles to the Boston Red Sox daily scene. I want to be me, make it fun, and above all challenge myself to write daily on one of my favorite subjects.

So with a motto of 'writers write', I hope to see you at the ballpark every day!

Red Hat JBoss BRMS - a shopping cart example in the Cool Store Demo

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Thu, 02 May 2013 01:38:39 PDT

Red Hat Cool Store

It is time for another awesome JBoss Business Rules Management System (BRMS) Cool Store Demo, this time brought to you by Jason Milliron, one of our JBoss Solution Architects.

He put together an example web application based on the popular framework Vaadin which is an example of an online shopping cart. This web application demonstrates interaction between a web front end and a decision table and rules package. This allows the business logic to become externalized from your deployed application and can then be modified as needed at runtime. This application leverages the rules to calculate the shipping costs based on your rules in the table below.

Shipping pricing table

It is pretty simple really, you can adjust how much the ranges are and what the shipping for the shopping cart total order will be by tweaking this table, for example:

the price from Tier 1 based on value totaling between $26 - $50 is $5.99
you can fill your cart with under $25 of materials to validate
adjust it to $6.99 (as shown in yellow)
save and commit changes
build your coolstore package
clear the shopping cart application
re-order the same materials and validate the charge to shipping is now $6.99

I have released version 1.0 which will get you started in a very short amount of time. See the provided documentation and Readme file in the project. You will also find a complete BRMS rules package with unit test scenarios. This is a complete project.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: Three part video series covering the functionality in this demo project is available now, get started with Part I - Installation.

The future of JBoss SOA Platform, Switchyard training

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:36:51 PDT

Last week I was in the area for the Gartner BPM Summit 2013 so I thought I would drop in on Keith Babo and the SwitchYard training being held in Washington, DC.

Keith is a rock star at leading the SwitchYard efforts, but he is now a confirmed educator. He put together a very hands on and incredibly informative two days of workshop style training on his project. This project will become the backbone of the upcoming JBoss SOA Platform v6 so it was fantastic to get hands on with the experts.

Below a short impression, but I would suggest you get your hands on this technology as soon as you can, it is really amazing stuff!

JBoss BRMS (BPM) at Gartner BPM conference in Washington, DC

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:43:06 PDT

I was fortunate enough to participate this year in the Gartner BPM Summit 2013 in DC. It was my first time at a Gartner event and I was looking forward to the high level business activities and session that would be part of the event.

What I did not expect was that if you are not an end customer then you do not get to attend a lot of the events. Though I was sporting an 'Attendee' pass, the sessions required pre-registration which ended up in my being rejected for admittance. Bummer as there were some really interesting sessions.

Outside of that, it was hosted at the DC Gaylord Resort and it is an awesome place to have to be for a conference. I was lucky to meet up with colleagues from our North America field teams (thanks to Mark Yourcheck for a great few days at our stand).

Below is an impression of our days at the conference.

JBoss BRMS demos - now available for installation on Windows

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:43:58 PDT

This last week I have been busy, with some help from my friends, to update the existing JBoss Business Rules Management System (BRMS) demos with some interesting fixes. Think of this a giving the demos a fresh coat of paint to make them new and shiny again.

It came about as I was preparing for a couple of webinars we have running this week. I wanted to fix a few inconsistencies and leverage a few new features that are coming down the road for our customers. I also had contacted a friend in the USA who was willing to sort out the Windows installation script, a much requested feature when I am on the road showing off with these demos.

The demos that have been patched and released are listed here to provide a starting point for you:

The first was to pull in a new web process designer version that contains bug fixes that will very shortly be made available to the customer base in a patch roll-out. The fix I was looking for has been pushed to these versions:

The most exciting fix was to enable Windows users to be able to install these demos in a fully automated fashion like the Unix based users do with an init script. On my last trip I bumped into a colleague who offered to provide these scripts. Pass your thanks to Andrew Block for his great work to enable Windows users on these demos and it was released in these versions:

Finally, don't forget to enjoy the webinars that were run highlighting these demos.

Enjoy! ;)

JBoss Developer Studio 7 - how to setup SOA Tools (BRMS example)

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 03:33:38 PDT

Want to hide your osX (macbook) desktop icons

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 05:05:14 PDT

This is just a quick hint as to how to hide desktop icons (all of them) in a temporary fashion.

I create a lot of video demos that make it a pain when I have my personal icons to documents, folders, and other content I don't really want to have posted all over the Internet.

Here is how to do it:

Hide Desktop Icons

Launch Terminal and type the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false

Kill the Finder so that it relaunches:
killall Finder

Files are now discretely hidden in home folder’s “Desktop” directory. To reverse, open Terminal and type the following:

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true

Kill the Finder so that it relaunches and they are back.

If you want to automate these into a single click of your mouse button, just put this into a file, make it executable, create an alias, and drop the alias file onto your task bar. One for icons on and one for icons off:


#!/bin/bash



# 1. copy this code to file iconson.command

# 2. make executable with 'chmod +x iconson.command

# 3. make alias file and drop onto menu bar

#

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true



killall Finder


#!/bin/bash



# 1. copy this code to file iconsoff.command

# 2. make executable with 'chmod +x iconson.command

# 3. make alias file and drop onto menu bar

#

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false



killall Finder

Now you can clean your desk for screencasts and video capturing and put it all back when you are done by clicking on the files!

JBoss Developer Studio 6 - how to setup SOA Tools (BRMS example)

eric@schabell.org (eric@schabell.org) — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:50:27 PDT

Step 2: SOA Tools Update Site

I have been getting questions about getting started with JBoss Developers Studio (JBDS) version 6 and the latest greatest Business Rules Management System (BRMS) tooling. For posterity, here is how I do it:

Get the latest JBDS 6 from your local Customer Support Portal (CSP) or get your evaluation copy.
You are missing the BRMS tooling, so add the JBoss SOA Tools update site via "Help -> Install New Software..." http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/integration/juno/integration-stack/aggregate/

Step 3: JBoss BRMS tooling

Select "BRMS Tooling"

After install you are ready to rock with all the new tooling supporting Rules, Events and Processes (jBPM).
