zeebe-dmn-worker

A Zeebe worker to evaluate DMN decisions (i.e. business rule tasks). It uses the Camunda DMN engine including the FEEL-Scala engine to evaluate DMN decisions. The DMN files are read from a local directory.

Usage

Example BPMN with service task:

<bpmn:serviceTask id="decisionTask" name="Eval DMN decision">
  <bpmn:extensionElements>
    <zeebe:taskDefinition type="DMN" />
    <zeebe:taskHeaders>
      <zeebe:header key="decisionRef" value="dish-decision" />
    </zeebe:taskHeaders>
    <zeebe:ioMapping>
      <zeebe:output source="result" target="decisionResult" />
    </zeebe:ioMapping>
  </bpmn:extensionElements>
</bpmn:serviceTask>

the worker is registered for the type DMN
required custom headers:
- decisionRef - the id of the decision to evaluate
the result of the evaluation is passed as result variable

Install

Docker

The docker image for the worker is published to GitHub Packages.

docker pull ghcr.io/camunda-community-hub/zeebe-dmn-worker:1.0.0

configure the connection to the Zeebe broker by setting zeebe.client.broker.contactPoint (default: localhost:26500)
configure the folder where the DMN files are located by setting zeebe.client.worker.dmn.repository (default: dmn-repo)

For a local setup, the repository contains a docker-compose file. It starts a Zeebe broker and the worker.

cd docker
docker-compose up
