Sometimes we get questions from our customers to very fundamental functionality in OpenText MBPM. One of the questions we received recently was around the topic Dynamic Roles and today I post this as a Quick Tip for Metastorm.

There are requirments to to display PDF documents (e.g. Invoices, Purchase Orders, Incoming Letters) on a OpenText MBPM (formerly Metastorm BPM) form. There are different ways to implement this: using a PDF viewer component like Brava Viewer or TiffServer, the iFrame or the HTML <object> tag method.

We still have room in our next OpenText MBPM Foundation class. It runs April 28 - May 2 @ the OpenText office (Reading, UK).

Metastorm Version 9.x delivers many new capabilities that will bring benefits to your organization over and above those delivered by previous versions. Once your developers have adjusted to the new version, their productivity will improve. This blog post discusses why you should consider migrating to Version 9.x.

BPMN event subprocess

Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a graphical notation that describes the logic of steps in a business process. This notation has been especially designed to coordinate the sequence of processes and messages that flow between participants in different activities.

Most BPM tools (e.g. OpenText Cordys, bizagi) these days support BPMN and having a resource that quickly and clearly explains all of the basic terms and applications is critically important.

I hope that you will pass this blog post along to others in your organisation and maybe even print it out to have on hand when others have questions related to BPMN 2.0.
