Conversion CLI Tool

The command line interface tool can convert a Camunda Platform 7 diagram or all diagrams inside a folder (plus sub directories) or convert all diagrams from a Camunda Platform 7 process engine.

All diagrams that should be converted need to have the .bpmn or .bpmn20.xml file ending.

The tool logs all results (either location of the new file or the exception the migration tool faced during migration). Diagrams that are already in C8 format will be omitted but logged. So you can follow the progress of converting.

In case you run the CLI tool on your Windows computer and your process diagram contains Umlaute, add the java option -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 between the java and -jar parameters:

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar backend-diagram-converter-cli-version.jar

Commands

Convert diagrams from the local file systems

Usage: backend-diagram-converter-cli local [-dhoV] [--check] [--csv]
       [--disable-default-job-type] [-nr] [--default-job-type=<defaultJobType>]
       [--platform-version=<platformVersion>] [--prefix=<prefix>] <file>
Converts the diagram from the given directory or file

Execute as:

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar backend-diagram-converter-cli.jar local

Parameter:
      <file>                 The file to convert or directory to search in
Options:
      --check                If enabled, no converted diagrams are exported
      --csv                  If enabled, a CSV file will be created containing
                               the results for all conversions

                               documentation
      --default-job-type=<defaultJobType>
                             If set, the default value from the

                               type is overridden
      --disable-default-job-type
                             Disables the default job type
  -h, --help                 Show this help message and exit.
      -nr, --not-recursive   If enabled, recursive search in subfolders will be
                               omitted
  -o, --override             If enabled, existing files are overridden
      --platform-version=<platformVersion>
                             Semantic version of the target platform, defaults
                               to latest version
      --prefix=<prefix>      Prefix for the name of the generated file
                               Default: converted-c8-
  -V, --version              Print version information and exit.

Example:

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar backend-diagram-converter-cli-v.v.v.jar local c:\myDirectory

Download

There is a prepackaged jar file available in the Camunda Artifactory at https://artifacts.camunda.com/artifactory/camunda-bpm-community-extensions/org/camunda/community/migration/backend-diagram-converter-cli/

Enter the folder with the latest version and download backend-diagram-converter-cli-v.v.v.jar.

You can start the jar file from the command line with

java -jar backend-diagram-converter-cli-v.v.v.jar --help

Compile from source

To get a functioning .jar file, run

mvn clean package

Afterwards, the file can be found in target with the name backend-diagram-converter-cli.jar as shown before.
