Error importing a workflow process

[Anonymous]

Hi,
Currently, I'm working with MDM EE.
I'm playing with the MDM demo sample.
I've imported the 'product_product--1.0.bar' worflow process in the worflow perspective.
When I try to export the process to the MDM server, I have the following message :

Error importing a workflow process : java.net.UnknowHostException: local

Can you, please, help me in fixing this issue ?
Thank you in advance for any response !

Hi VAD,
It looks like you misparametered the properties to connect to the MDM Server for deployment.
What you have to do is, in the Studio :
- Click on Window > Preferences > Talend > Import / Export > Talend MDM Server
- Check you correctly entered the right host, the right port (should be 127.0.0.1, 8080 if it's a local installation).
- Give administrator/administrator as credentials
Tell me if that works !
Regards,
Cyril.

Hi csonnefraud,
My MDM server has already the right host and port.
A stupid question : how give you administrator/administrator as credentials ?
Thanks a lot for your response !

Hi csonnefraud,
It was really a stupid question :-)) !
I give administrator/administrator as credentials.
Unfortunately, I have again the same error when I try to export the worflow ... 😞
Another clue ?
Thanks a lot !

Is your server really up ? Are you sure there's no typo in the user/password ?
Did you try to use the name/the IP of the computer that hosts the server ?

Hi csonnefraud,
I've found my error (wrong computer name), now the workflow is exported to MDM Server. Thanks 🙂
A process based on this workflow has been also created.
Currently, I'm follwing the instructions of the workflow demo ( http://talendforge.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mdm:demo)
Next steps :

Run the workflow:
?Open a Product
?Open the dropdown list of runnable processes
?Select the price workflow and hit the run button (it may take a few seconds to instantiate the workflow the first time)
?Hit F5
?The Welcome page should now display a pending task, this is the initial step of the workflow where you enter the new price

When I open the dropdown list, I can't see the workflow as a runnable process.
Could you advice on missed steps ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your response.

What's your process name ? To populate the drop-down list of an entity, it has to be named Runnable_*, where * is the name of the entity.

Hi Cyril,
Thanks a lot for your response.
Now, I have the process in the drop-down list.
Unfortunately, I have another question :
The process runs without error (popup : it's done) but the Welcome page doesn't display a pending task.
Could you, please, help me again ?
Thanks a lot in advance !

VAD,
Did you create the user "approver", and did you assign him the proper roles ?
If so, you have to connect with this user, so that you should see pending tasks in the welcome page.

Cyril.
