Methods and instructions by function

AdvancedProcess Commander maintains three activity lists for each requestor, stored in Java constructs. The lists are:

Use this method to add an activity to one of the three lists, as an alternative to a Call. If the activity requires parameters, enter literal parameters in the method's parameter fields.

CautionThis method does not check the validity of the activity you add. Make sure that the activity exists and that users have the necessary security to execute it.

Onlist

Optional. Generally, leave this blank. If blank, the system adds the activity to the end of the Activity list.

You can enter Current or Workflow, within double quotes, to instruct the system to add the activity to the end of the Current List or the Workflow List, rather than to the Activity List.

ActivityPrmName

zzzOptional. Enter a literal as a parameter name for the activity.

ActivityPrmValue

Optional. Enter the value for the parameter.

Results

This method adds the activity to the bottom of the selected list.

When activities are in the Current list, Process Commander executes them in order before returning control to the user.

When the Current list becomes empty, activities in the Activity list move to the Current list. When the Activity list is empty, activities in the Workflow list move to the Activity list.

NoteYou cannot examine these lists with the Tracer or Clipboard tool.
