Obj-Set-Tickets method
|
Contents
|
Use this method in an activity to set (turn on) one or more tickets, or reset (turn off) one or more tickets.
As a best practice to simplify your
application, call the standard activity Work-.SetTicket from
your activity rather than reference this method. That activity sets
and later resets a single ticket, identified in an activity
parameter.
Your application must reset the tickets that
it sets to prevent possibly indefinite looping behavior when work objects
are later resolved. Design your activity or processing sequence to call
the Obj-Set-Tickets twice; once to set the ticket and later to
reset the same ticket. MULCK 11/16/04
Tickets in a flow rule are identified by the 
shape on the Diagram tab. Each ticket task
can identify a ticket rule. Ticket tasks act as a type of event or
condition. Setting a ticket is similar to "raising" an event or
performing a GOTO statement in some programming environments.
When a ticket is set, processing of any currently executing flows that reference that ticket (subject to rule resolution) is paused. Flows not started, and flows started in the future, are not affected. Flow processing resumes at the ticket location.
A task in a flow can require two or more tickets to be set before control resumes at that task.
This method has two parameters:
Parameter |
Description |
| SetTicketNames |
This ticket becomes "raised" or activated when this method executes, immediately affecting the processing of any flow (of appropriate Work- class) that contains a ticket of that name. |
| RemoveTicketNames |
Resetting a ticket can affect other flows that require two or more tickets to be set before processing resumes. |
R-12540 As a debugging aid, the standard HTML rule @baseclass.DeferredOps interrogates system internals and presents an ordered list of deferred (uncommitted) database operations for the current Thread. Your activity can display this HTML rule using the Show-Page method.
When a ticket is raised (set) through this method, the system searches through all flows on the step page (not only through the flow that contains the activity that contains the method.)
It interrupts processing in any flow containing the ticket shape with the ticket name. Flow resumes under certain conditions at the ticket location on the Visio diagram.
This method updates the pxMethodStatus property. See How to test method results using a transition.

Optional. Identify one or more ticket names,
typically the second key part of an instance of the
Rule-Obj-Ticket rule type.
