Chapter 6 Designing Formflows : Using Checkpoints in Formflows

Using Checkpoints in Formflows

Unlike automated processes in TIBCO BusinessWorks, formflow processes in TIBCO BusinessWorks FormBuilder are always run in the context of a user.

If the Servlet engine, together with the TIBCO BusinessWorks engine, crashes in the middle of a formflow process and gets later restarted, the user context of the formflow doesn't exist anymore.

If a checkpoint is inserted, the formflow will resume from that checkpoint but any ShowForm activity will fail since there is no user context.

Specifically, you cannot have a ShowForm activity after a checkpoint in your formflow.

For more information about checkpoints, refer to TIBCO BusinessWorks Process Design Guide.
