Resource Attributes

When an organization model is created using the TIBCO Business Studio Organization Modeler, resource attributes can also be created. Resource attributes are used to store information about resources. For example, there may be an “EmailAddress” attribute defined, in which each resource’s email address is stored. These attributes can contain data that the business process may access during runtime.

The following shows an example of some resource attributes that were created in TIBCO Business Studio:

These attributes are available for each BPM resource. For example, each resource’s cell phone number can be stored in the CellPhone attribute.

For information about creating attributes for the “Human Resource Type”, see the TIBCO Business Studio Organization Modeler User’s Guide.

The objectAPI provide functions to set the values of resource attributes for a resource -- see Setting Resource Attribute Values.

You can also map resource attributes to LDAP attributes so that the process has access to the data in the LDAP attributes at runtime -- see Mapping Resource Attributes to LDAP Attributes.
