Queries

Queries are a way of identifying an entity within the organization model to use as a suitable participant for a task in a business process.

You can specify queries either:

• As strings of text. These are not checked or validated within Organization Modeler. A business analyst might enter the query as free text, which a solution designer can implement when the analysis is implemented as a process for a specific destination environment.
• As Resource Query Language (RQL). This is a scripting language which you can use to write queries specifying which entity within the organization model should be selected for work allocation. It is described in the BPM implementation documentation. Organization queries entered in RQL are validated in TIBCO Business Studio.
  Note: You should consider using Dynamic Organization Participants as the alternative to RQL as it is more efficient in most situations. See Dynamic Organization Participants
