How to Ensure that a Sequence of Tasks is Performed by the Same User
Chained execution means that when a user submits one work item, they are immediately presented with the next work item in the chained sequence. The user must be included in the definition of the participants assigned to each of the user tasks identified for chained execution.
For example, if a user is a member of an organization that is assigned as the participant for Task1, and is also a member of a group assigned as a participant for Task2, that user is assigned both work items in turn, although the participants defined for the two tasks are different.
This tutorial shows you how to assign a sequence of tasks to the same user. This is known as chained execution.
Before you start this tutorial, you can become familiar with TIBCO Business Studio by completing the following initial tutorials:
- Importing the Initial Resources
This tutorial supplies a project as the starting-point, so that the initial work, not relating to chained execution, is already done for you. It also requires an organization model, which you may have created and deployed in earlier tutorials. - Mapping a Participant to an Organization Model
First you will map the Participant Process Tester, which is used by the user tasks in ChainingStart, to a position in the imported organization model. - Making Sure a Sequence of Tasks is Performed by the Same User
There will often be occasions when you want one user to take responsibility for seeing a process through a number of steps, rather than a number of different users being involved. To do this, you need to link tasks in a chained execution. - Deploying and Running the Process
This tutorial shows you how to deploy the WelcomeUsersChained process. - Verifying the Results
You can verify the results of your tutorial by installing the tutorial from the samples folder in the product directory. Your project must look similar to the sample solution project.
