Resource Query Language

Resource Query Language (RQL)is a textual query syntax. It is used to identify resources within the BPM destination environment that meet a defined set of criteria. An RQL query returns a set of resources that match the criteria expressed in the query. Work can then either be allocated to one of those resources, or offered to multiple individual resources.

RQL is dynamic, and is evaluated when the work item is created and whenever it changes. This means that if the items referred to by the RQL change in some way (for example if the resources mapped to an organizational position are changed) then this will be reflected in the set of resources associated with the work item.

For details of how RQL is used, see the TIBCO Business Studio Modeling User’s Guide and "Assigning Participants to a User Task" in the TIBCO Business Studio BPM Implementation Guide.
