iProcess Procedure Case Management

Activity

The iProcess Procedure Case Management activity performs case management operations. At this release, it can manage both iProcess Engine main procedures and sub-procedures. See "Defining and Using Sub-Procedures" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Advanced Design for more information about sub-procedures.

At design time, it enables you to select which case management operation you want to perform. Different inputs and outputs are required for each activity. You can perform the following case management operations in an iProcess Engine main procedure or sub-procedure:

• Activate a case. For more information, see "Using Public Steps & Events" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Integration Techniques.
• Close a case. For more information, see "Closing Cases" in TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows) Manager’s Guide.
• Purge a case. For more information, see "Purging Cases" in TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows) Manager’s Guide.
• Get the status of a case. For more information, see "Release Status" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Procedure Management.
• Suspend a case. For more information, see "Using Public Steps & Events" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Integration Techniques.
• Trigger an event in a case. For more information, see "Using Public Steps & Events" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Integration Techniques.
• Jump to a particular step or steps in a case. You can specify dynamically at runtime the step, or steps, to be jumped to. For more information, see "Changing the Process Flow in a Case" in TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Browser) User Guide.
• Modify case data. You can use this operation to change the data in a case of an iProcess procedure. For example, you can use it to modify case data for a sub-procedure grafted using the iProcess Graft activity. See iProcess Graft for more details of that activity.
Note: Any changes you make to a case are only written to the iProcess Engine server when the affected step is released. Until then, the data displayed does not correspond to the situation on the server. After release, any subsequent steps in the case will show the modified data.
