第2章 Functionality of migrated assets in Business Central

Several asset designers have been improved in Business Central for Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0. As a result of this ongoing effort to improve Business Central, some previously supported asset features and functions have changed or cannot currently be migrated. Before migrating your project data, consider the following assets with different feature support in Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0:

Forms

Forms are migrated to Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0 by a forms migration tool that is part of the Business Central migration tool. Migrated forms are managed in a new forms designer that currently does not support all features of the previous forms designer in Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.4. The migration tool and the forms designer will be incrementally improved in subsequent releases to better support currently deprecated features. Therefore, avoid deleting any migrated forms that lose functionality in migration because they may be supported in the future.

The following limitations and considerations apply to form migration:

  • Existing forms in Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.4 must be correct. If a conflict arises during migration, some forms might not be migrated.
  • Forms related to business processes (forms that end with a taskform suffix) no longer support fields with nested bindings (such as client/name) caused by data object variables on the process. Any forms with nested bindings will result in additional SubForms during migration.
  • Forms that are not related to business processes (forms that do not end with a taskform suffix) must have only one DataHolder of type DataObject or ClassName.
  • The new forms designer does not support different bindings for input and output of processes. The same binding must be assigned to the input and output of processes.
  • The new forms designer does not support dynamic functions, such as field calculations.
Business processes

Business processes migrated to Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0 by the Business Central migration tool are managed in the same process designer as Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.4. Any new business processes created in Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0 are managed by default in the new process designer. The new designer does not support all features of the previous process designer, but will be incrementally improved in subsequent releases to better support currently deprecated features. If you encounter features not supported in the new process designer as you create new processes, you can switch to the previous designer for more advanced capabilities until support is restored in future releases.

For more information about creating and managing processes in Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0, see Getting started with business processes.

Pages (previously Dashboards)
Dashboards in Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.4 cannot be migrated to Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0. Any existing dashboards must be re-created as Pages in Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.0. For information about creating and managing Pages, see Building custom dashboard widgets.
