Adapter Request-Response Server

Process Starter

Starts a process based on the receipt of a request from an adapter. The adapter sends a request using a preconfigured request-response invocation service, and the process that is started acts as the implementation of the request. The process sends any required responses back to the adapter’s service using the Respond to Adapter Request activity.

Adapter request-response invocation services are configured during adapter configuration, and the activity uses the information in the adapter configuration to fill in most of the fields of this activity. See your adapter documentation for more information about creating adapter configurations and creating adapter services.

Figure 1 illustrates an Adapter Request-Response Server activity starting a business process to handle an incoming request from an adapter request-response invocation service. At a later point in the business process, the Respond to Adapter Request activity is used to perform the response.

Misc

The Misc tab contains the following fields:

Field	Description
Sequencing Key	This field can contain an XPath expression that specifies which processes should run in order. Process instances with sequencing keys that evaluate to the same value will be executed sequentially in the order the process instance was created. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Process Design for more information about controlling the execution order of process instances and about XPath expressions.
Custom Id	This field can contain an XPath expression that specifies a custom ID for the process instance. This ID is displayed in the View Service dialog of TIBCO Administrator, and it is also available in the $_processContext process variable.
