Import YAWL specification

ir.mcchesney

In Prom 6.5.1a, using import plugin YAWL specification, when I import a .yawl file, created using the YAWL Editor (3.0.1 or 4.0), I receive the error "Engine File Loading Error".

Any guidance would be welcome. Thanks - Ian

Dear Ian,

Can you verify that you can load the file correctly in the YAWL editor?

If yes, could you run ProM from the command line and place the full error message here?

Dear Joos - thanks for your reply.

Yes, the file will load correctly in the YAWL editor (it was created by the editor).

When I run Prom from the command line, the Prom pop up error message now reads "Engine File Loading Error" - "Specification file failed to validate YAWL Schema. Discarding this file".

Here is the test script:

System.out.println("Loading");

File yawl = new File("wm-flat.yawl");

System.out.println("Importing");

yawl_specification(yawl);

System.out.println("Done");

Below is the error log:

Dear Ian,

My guess is that this is a version problem. ProM uses version 2.3.5 of the YAWL Editor to import yawl files. It seems that this (older) version of the Editor chokes on the piece of text ' - version 0.0'.

I do not know versions 3.0.1 or 4.0 of the Editor by heart, but do they include an option to export to an older format (like 2.3.5)? That may help.

Otherwise, we should consider upgrading the Editor in ProM.

Kind regards,

Eric.

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately there is no export feature (that I can see) in these versions of the YAWL editor.

I was trying this in the context of the simulation tutorial - http://www.yawlfoundation.org/pages/research/simulation.html - which does refer to older versions.

Thanks - Ian

I have got a similar issue using prom 6.6. I have tried to upload a simple YAWL spec created with YAWL Editor 4.1 and it has returned "Specification file falied to validate against YAWL Schema. Discarding this file" (top of error log below). There is no way of saving a YAWL spec in an older version format. Would it be possible to update the components to work with the latest YAWL release?
