The changes outlined below will allow the new Flowable user workflow adapter to deal with the Activiti workflow definition from Syncope 2.0; more details are available in the Flowable website.

Once set, any update to the workflow definition will be automatically migrated to the new Flowable format.

Additional Maven dependencies

Add to core/pom.xml the following dependencies:

...

        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.apache.syncope.core</groupId>
          <artifactId>syncope-core-workflow-flowable</artifactId>
          <version>${syncope.version}</version>
        </dependency>

Flowable configuration adjustments

In core/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml, replace

classpath*:/workflow*Context.xml

with

classpath*:/workflowContext.xml
classpath:/workflowFlowableContext.xml

then download workflowFlowableContext.xml, save it under core/src/main/resources and add

<bean id="flowable5CompabilityFactory" class="org.activiti.compatibility.spring.SpringFlowable5CompatibilityHandlerFactory"/>

right before </beans> and 

    <property name="flowable5CompatibilityEnabled" value="true" />
    <property name="flowable5CompatibilityHandlerFactory" ref="flowable5CompabilityFactory"/>

right after </property>.

Logging tuning

Add the following to core/src/main/resources/log4j2.xml:

    <asyncLogger name="org.activiti" additivity="false" level="ERROR">
      <appender-ref ref="mainFile"/>
      <appender-ref ref="main"/>
    </asyncLogger>

Internal Storage

The steps to upgrade the internal storage to Syncope 2.1.0 are outlined in the Reference Guide.
