bpm - Evaluation of Activiti as Continuous Integration orchestrator -


i'm working in devops space , supporting overly complicated ci system. purpose test & certify multiple java artifacts against tests every single artifacts , artifacts against each other. have multiple jenkins instances , complicated custom workflows, share same limitation: lack of resources control. ended bunch of purely technical jenkins jobs deal limitations aren't perfect , initial workflow became bloated.

here i'm asking expertise applicability of activiti bpm engine ci process.

we have following issues current process:

  • cloud nodes can handed-over 1 jenkins job another. if workflow became terminated in middle (let's functional tests failed on newly built artifact) have free nodes.
  • jobs can consume multiple resources - databases, environments of multiple nodes, etc. resources must freed when workflow finished

ideally, should able define workflow steps in dsl , bind resources steps. later on, during workflow execution, possible workflow engine determine when resources first required , request them before step (according resource type) appropriate pool / provider.

after each step finished, workflow engine call "garbage collection" on resources. calculate (based on provided dsl) list of steps still reachable current state , list of resources binded steps. after possible construct list (currently allocated resources minus future required resources). list go garbage collection.

with such "garbage collection" i'm trying avoid overly complicated logic of manual resource lifecycle control embedded workflow definition , bloat it. want have clear , understandable (and supported) workflows.

do think can done activiti or other bpm engine?

andrev,

this can implemented limited effort. have created similar workflows qa environments using open source bpms eclipse stardust http://www.eclipse.org/stardust/

best regards

rob

php - regexp cyrillic filename not matches -

i take list of files php glob(."*.pdf") . files have cyrillic names. example: ООО «Рога и копыта» then load company names database , try find them in file names: preg_match("/$firm_name/ui", $file_name, $match); i have problem: firms if $firm_name visually similar $file_name , preg_match says there no match. mb_detect_encoding both variables return utf-8. there problem in file name, or maybe there encoding or something, can not understand, ask help. upd: $file_name='ООО «Рога и копыта»'; preg_match("/... .Рога и копыта./ui", $file_name, $match); as result, ОО «Рога и копыта» , 1 О missing

c# - OpenXML hanging while writing elements -

Image
i have program pulls data database, caches file , exports data multiple formats (excel, excel 2003, csv). i'm using openxml sdk 2.0 excel work. these export processes run in parallel (using parallel.foreach ), , amount of data can pretty large - e.g. csvs 800mb. during these larger exports, i've noticed writing of xml documents hang. instance, if have 8 exporting in parallel, @ point "pause". hang around same point: //this.writer openxmlwriter created worksheetpart. this.writer.writeelement(new cell() { cellvalue = new cellvalue(value), datatype = cellvalues.string }); when happens, pause debugger (vs2013 in case) , notice threads blocking around same portion of code - bit deeper in openxml sdk - stem call openxmlwriter.writeelement . i dug through source using justdecompile didn't find answers. appears there intermediary stream in use writing isolated storage , is, reason, blocking. underlying stream each of these filestream . here screenshot ...
