SOAP API - setAvailableProcessInstanceVariables

The table summarizes the SOAP API - setAvailableProcessInstanceVariables.

Request Uses the setAvailableProcessInstanceVariablesInput element (from the ProcessManagement schema)
Parameter notes
  • processID can be obtained from queryHaltedProcessInstances.

    The specified process instance must be in a HALTED state for the request to be valid. An illegalStateFault is returned if the process instance is in any other state.

  • variableMap is a set of name/value pairs for the variables to be set. This can include arrays. The available variables can be obtained from getAvailableProcessInstanceVariables.
Note: You can set a new value of the delimiter between array elements by adding the java property com.tibco.bx.arrayDelimiter. The default value is comma followed by a space (, ).
Response Returns a success element (from the ProcessManagement schema)
