Upgrade BPMN diagrams to Enterprise Version SERVER | DATA CENTER

In the Upgrade Tab you can upgrade all macros created with our BPMN Modeler Free to BPMN Modeler Enterprise macros. With one click, a bulk upgrade is started. Please note, that this upgrade might take a while depending on the number of diagrams.

The usage analysis searches your Confluence instance for instances of BPMN Modeler Free and Enterprise macros and displays the results in a table. This can be used to get an overview, for example before or after starting the upgrade.

Important (if on Data Center): After completing the Upgrade procedure, it is necessary to perform a Content Re-Indexing.

 


Diagram Link Synchronization SERVER | DATA CENTER

|Since 3.21.0-ENTERPRISE.|

The process net uses a central database to manage all diagram links. In case of any incorrect behavior, or if you simply want to refresh and reimport all you diagram links, this can be done in the admin app configuration of the BPMN Modeler Enterprise.

Reset

The reflection of all links in the database will be deleted. This leaves a clean and empty database to be filled again.

This does not affect the links in the diagrams! All models will remain untouched.

Synchronize

All currently present diagram links in all models in your entire Confluence instance will be saved to the database.

Depending on the number of diagrams, this can take some time.

This does not affect the links in the diagrams! All models will remain untouched.

 

 

 

 

 

 


GitLab Connection SERVER | DATA CENTER Cloud

|Since 3.10.0-ENTERPRISE.|

 

 

To enable users of the BPMN Modeler Enterprise to import diagrams from GitLab, you need to set up a connection between the app in Confluence and the GitLab server. More precisely, you need to establish an OAuth2 connection between these two systems. To do this, sign into your GitLab as administrator, go to Admin area > Applications > New Application and generate an application id and secret. As Redirect URI use the one that is reported in the App Configuration of the BPMN Modeler Enterprise Add-in.

For more information on this refer to the GitLab documentation

Once you obtained the application id and secret, enter them in the respective form in Confluence. To test your connection click on Test connection - this will open GitLab in a new browser tab and require you to sign in. If your application data is correct, you will see a success message. Otherwise, you will receive feedback what went wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Bitbucket Connection SERVER | DATA CENTER

|Since 3.12.0-ENTERPRISE.|

To enable users of the BPMN Modeler Enterprise to import diagram from Atlassian Bitbucket, you need to set up an Application Link between your Confluence and Bitbucket.

To do this, sign into your Confluence as administrator, go to General Configuration> Application links > New Link and enter your Bitbucket base URL. Follow the setup wizard.

It is important for the BPMN Modeler, that you choose the Oauth (impersonation) option. Otherwise it will not be able to pull files from Bitbucket.

For more information on this refer to the official Atlassian documentation

Once you established the Application link, open the configuration of the BPMN Modeler Enterprise . Under Bitbucket Connection, you can click the Refresh Button to see all your available applications. Choose the desired one for Bitbucket and click on Save -done!
