I have a dummy camunda model I'm attaching as an image. The model has a multi instance expanded sub process, in which I have two activities shown in different lanes.
Current Model
In the resulting .bpmn text I want it to show these activities as part of a lane, and not just as part of a sub process.
Is there any way to make the program display it like that in the file text?
The current resulting .bpmn file displays this:
<bpmn:laneSet id="LaneSet_1ibo785">
<bpmn:lane id="Lane_02zfiqn" name="house">
<bpmn:flowNodeRef>StartEvent_1</bpmn:flowNodeRef>
<bpmn:flowNodeRef>Event_0cstzw3</bpmn:flowNodeRef>
<bpmn:flowNodeRef>Activity_0expz37</bpmn:flowNodeRef>
<bpmn:flowNodeRef>Activity_18mav3y</bpmn:flowNodeRef>
<bpmn:flowNodeRef>Multi_Process1</bpmn:flowNodeRef>
</bpmn:lane>
<bpmn:lane id="Lane_08xtoyw" name="invitee" />
</bpmn:laneSet>
As you can see the lane "invitee" has no activity included even though it graphicaly shows one activity as part of it.

I'm trying to make a simplified task manager to use in school that allows a student to manage and view the processes they're running.
I want the program to be able to show the user what priority a certain process is running with.
I currently have it set up so the user can change all the priorities but cant see the changes they have made.
Will I need to store all the changes they made in an array that follows alongside all the processes and set them all to normal then just shows what they have changed.
I don't really want to do this as it is inefficient and unnecessarily complicated.
You can use System.Diagnostics.Process Class which has a property named PriorityClass.
For example the following code gets the priority of the current process:
Dim proc As Process = Process.GetCurrentProcess()
Dim procPriority = proc.PriorityClass
Here you can find all the possible values: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.processpriorityclass.aspx
I'm struggling to get all the required (and only the required) information into the documentation of my Enterprise Architect Project. Precisely: we have modelled various requirements and displayed the source "standards" for these requirements in our diagrams by using the "hyperlink"-element out of the common toolbox. (This allows us to capture a title, the website where the documentation is found and a description of this documentation).
Now this element is visible on the diagram, but not in the package-view of our model and it does not get generated in our word (docx) documentation.
I can see that it should be possible to get this in the documentation, because a "Model Report" which basically prints everything does print the hyperlinks. But I can't find what I have to select in my template (in the package-tree view, as a package field, element field or diagram field) in order to get this printed. I can't just use the model report since this basically dumps the whole database in the document and reverse-engineering this model report has proven too difficult for me. Actually I would expect this to be in some kind of documentation for EA, but could not find such a thing with this level of detail... is there, is there a reproducible way of finding such things out in further cases? (btw I'm using EA 11.0)
[sorry there were illustrations here, but I'm not allowed to upload them...]
As Geert has already noted, there is a difference between "proper" elements and diagram-only elements. This is actually reflected in the document template editor, where there is an "Element" section inside the "Diagram" section. This will produce output for all elements in the diagram, whether or not they are also in the project browser.
Here's an example of the information you can pull out of your hyperlinks. Given a diagram with a hyperlink:
... and a template which outputs name, alias and hyperlink for each element in the diagram:
... EA will generate a document will the following contents:
So if you want the hyperlink to result in a hyperlink in the document, use the HyperlinkAlias field.
What might be a bit confusing is the fact that in addition to the Hyperlink element type in the Common diagram toolbox, EA allows you to create hyperlinks in regular elements (in the Element Properties dialog, Related tab: Files, which can be local files or web addresses).
In fact, I would recommend that you use those in your Requirement elements rather than diagram-only Hyperlinks if traceability is a priority in your model. The diagram-only Hyperlinks, on the other hand, give you a clearer visual.
Selecting a subset of the elements in a diagram ("only the required information") is a little more involved and depends on how your model is structured. Template fragments will get the job done, but you might be able to achieve your desired result by just using the filters in the document generation dialog.
The hyperlink is an element that is stored in the same package as the diagram it is used on, it is just not visible in the project browser (similar to a note element).
There's a good chance that it doesn't have a name, so make sure you don't omit nameless elements.
So if you print all the element of the package containing the diagram then you should be able to print the hyperlink as well.
In case that fails you might want to consider creating a template fragment based on an SQL query or a script. Those offer lots of flexibility to print whatever you need, even if it is located in a different package.

Ok, based on Geerts answer, using the following custom query fragment in the diagram section:
select
t_object.ea_guid as CLASSGUID,
t_object.Object_Type as CLASSTYPE,
t_object.Object_Id as OBJECTID,
t_object.name as HL_Name,
t_object.Stereotype as HL_Stereotype,
t_object.object_type as HL_Type,
t_object.Alias as HL_Alias,
Note as Notes
--,t_object.*
from t_object
left join t_diagramobjects on (t_object.Object_ID = t_diagramobjects.Object_ID)
left join t_diagram on (t_diagram.Diagram_ID = t_diagramobjects.Diagram_ID)
where t_diagram.Diagram_ID = '#DIAGRAMID#'
and t_object.Object_Type='Text'
I was able to get a list of the hyperlinks following the diagram, this is the fragment:
custom >
{HL_Alias}: {HL_Name}
{Notes}
< custom
The "Notes" can be printed by getting the attribute directly out of the t_object table. Don't get confused as I was at first: the auto-completion on t_object and the results (t_object.*) DO NOT SHOW a Note-Attribute, but it does exist an when you write it into the query, it gets generated in the document.
I have a scenario in which user enters text in a text box .
Now, when the workflow of the test case is executed,the user provided text appears in an image format after the test flow is fully executed.
This is actually how the application under test treats the input data.It represents the text in a non-editable format.I simply take the snapshot here for comparison purpose .i.e setting the baseline for my test.
Is there a way that I can store this user entered text in step 1 in my baseline data store and then extract the text from image as part of validation of the correct data provided by user in the test case conclusion step.
I have used two checkpoints strategies to find the right solution,just am not sure whether it actually serves the purpose.
1.Added Object checkpoint while script record ,here's the script
Call Objects.configPackage_success.Check(Aliases.Microsoft_ConfigurationManagement.SmsWizardForm.zpagePanel.zinteriorPagePanel.WizardPage.ActionsCompletionWizardPageControl.labelCaption)
I have enabled the text field for this property during record time.I hope it compares the text extracted from the object somehow.I maybe wrong.
2.Added Property checkpoint with script below
Call aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.Microsoft_ConfigurationManagement.SmsWizardForm.zpagePanel.zinteriorPagePanel.WizardPage.ActionsCompletionWizardPageControl.labelCaption.Text, "OleValue", cmpEqual, "The Create Package and Program Wizard completed successfully")
Again,it hopefully does the text comparison part.Not sure how it internally works.
Or do I have rely only on Region checkpoints for validation of my test-output with baseline image.
Thanks
In PsychoPy builder, I have a lot of trials and I want to let the participant take a rest/break part way through and then press SPACE to continue when they're ready.
Any suggestions about how best to do this?
PsychoPy Builder uses the TrialHandler class and you can make use of its attributes to do control when you want to take a rest.
Assuming you're trial loop is utilising an Excel/csv file to get the trial data then make use of trialHandler's attribute : thisTrialN
e.g.
1/ Add a routine containing a text component into your loop (probably at the beginning) with your 'now take a rest...' message and a keyboard component to take the response when they are ready to continue.
2/ Add a custom code component as well and place something similar to this code into its "Begin Routine" tab:
if trials.thisTrialN not in [ int(trials.nTotal / 2) ]:
continueRoutine=False
where 'trials' is the 'name' of your trial loop.
The above will put a rest in the middle of the current set of trials but you could replace it with something like this
if trials.thisTrialN not in [10,20]:
continueRoutine=False
if you wanted to stop after 10 and again after 20 trials.
Note, if you're NOT using an Excel file but are simply using the 'repeat' feature of a simple trial loop, then you'll need to replace thisTrialN with thisRepN
If you're using an Excel file AND reps you'll need to factor in both when working out when you want to rest.
This works by using one of Builder's own variables - continueRoutine and sets it false for most trials so that most of the time it doesn't display the 'take a rest' message.
If you want to understand more, then use the 'compile script' button (or F5) and take a look at the python code that Builder generates for you.
FYI to start, I am aware of how to properly set up an update to a lookup, and am 99% positive I've done this correctly.
I know this because When I set the workflow to automatically start when an Item is Changed, then it works perfectly. But when I simply change this setting so it will automatically start on New Item Creation, it Cancels the workflow and I get a "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type." If both options are checked then it fails on creation, but simply clicking edit on the item properties, and the "Save" makes it work.
The workflow is on a Document Library and works as follows;
User selects the Work Task LookUp from a dropdown in the edit properties form after uploading, and then Saves the item (adding it to the document library). The workflow is suppose to then look at the Work Task LookUp selected, and pull the Account and Effective Date-Type lookUp ID's that Work Task item has, and sets the Document's identical fields to the same value.
Here is the code for the workflow if it helps;
If Current Item: Parent Task is not empty
If Current Item: Sub Task is not empty
Log Both are empty to workflow history list
Then Set Account to Work Tasks:Account
The Log Set Account to workflow history list
Then Set Effective Date and Type to WorkTasks: Effective Date and Type
The Log Set EffDateType to the workflow history list
This is all done in one step. I also added additional steps to test if the account and effective date type fields have been set properly, and if not to set them again. But everytime I run the workflow on change and it works, it always correctly sets these fields based upon the first Step (posted above) and the additional check logs to the history that they are not needed.
As an example, The lookUp for Integer for Tasks:Account is set to work as follows;
Date Source: Work Tasks (a list)
Field from Source: Account (a lookup)
Return Field as: Lookup ID (as Integer)
Find the List Item
Field: Title (from the Work Tasks list)
Value: Current Item: Parent Task (Which is a look up of the "Title"
Field from Work Tasks List, and is set to return the Value as a LookUp Value (As Text))
The Effective Date and Type setting is pretty much identical.
So anyone have any insight? I've tried running it as an impersonated Step, setting a workflow pause (for 1 minute), changing the lookup types incase I messed it up to start with, but ultimately the above workflow DOES work, but only when I set it to "Automatically start on the Change (edit) of an Item", NOT "Automatically start on New Item Creation" like I need to to do.
Oh yes, fyi, I am using SPServices CascadingDropDown on the Work Task and Sub Task fields of the doc Library form, but I honestly do not believe this has anything to do with my issue.
UPDATE:
I've talked with another developer, and he believes it is due to the issue that the workflow is occuring too quickly, before the item creates an ID for itself, which it needs to conduct the lookUps. He had me add another "Pause Workflow" to the very top of my workflow code (above the If conditions) and set it for 1 minute.
It then worked properly.
Downside is we want this to labeling to occur as close to item creation as possible. Because a view of the library relies on grouping based upon Account and Effective Date and Type. To add to this downer, Microsoft's Pause Workflow only allows for 1 minute or more, and then the timer used for this is often off, resulting in a pause longer than that. So far, every test is currently showing 2 minutes minimum on the pause.
A possible alternative solution for instantaniously populate the fileds is to use Javascript and SPServices to do the lookUp to the Task list to pull the account and effective date - type fields and then populate, but my Javascript is not very strong and I would need help doing this. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

The OP wrote:
I don't know if it is the ID for the item after further testing. I changed the start of the workflow to wait until a field in the item changes. I set it to wait until the ID field is not 0 (since you cannot set to null), and it still does not work.
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Comment System Account Waiting on ID
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Comment System Account Waiting complete on ID
6/14/2012 4:13 PM Error System Account Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.
I have tried other fields as well, like document ID value is not empty, and it will wait, log it finishing the wait, and then fail.
UPDATE This issue has something to do with the Parent Task field. I have solved the issue without having to wait for a period of time by setting the change from above to wait until the Parent Task field is not empty. It then completes the workflow fine.
Anyone know why there is a delay though? I've solved it, but still don't fully understand what takes it so long.
The main fault has been solved (hence the answer), and the remaining point about the reasons for the delay would probably be a discussion point or not specific enough for SO. Any further clarification can be edited in here.
