Update an existing case deadline.

Syntax

UpdateCaseDeadline (procname, casenum, deadname, eventname, deadline)

where:

• procname(text) is the procedure name. A null value indicates the current procedure name.
• casenum(numeric) is the case number. A value of 0 indicates the current case.
• deadname(text) is the deadline name.
• eventname(text) is the name of the event step.
• deadline(text) is the time period and can be in one of the following formats:

Type

Format

Period

minutes^hours^days^weeks^months^years

Expression

date expression^time expression

Note:
• For the Period type deadline, each field cannot be omitted. If the values of some fields are null, set them to 0. For example, "2^0^0^0^0^0".
• For the Expression type deadline, a field can be omitted if the value of the field is null, but the caret (^) is necessary. For example, "SW_DATE^" or "^SW_TIME".

For more information on updating case deadline, see "Case Deadline Setting" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Procedure Management.

Examples

TIBCO iProcess Modeler:

  1. This example updates a period deadline:

    UpdateCaseDeadline("TEST", 111 ,"WARNDEAD", "WARNEV", "2^1^1^1^1^2");

    Or

    UpdateCaseDeadline("", 0, "WARNDEAD", "WARNEV", "2^1^1^1^1^2");

  2. This example updates an expression deadline:

    UpdateCaseDeadline("TEST", 111, "WARNDEAD", "WARNEV", "SW_DATE^SW_TIME+5");

    Or

    UpdateCaseDeadline("", 0, "WARNDEAD", "WARNEV", "SW_DATE^SW_TIME+5");

    Or

    UpdateCaseDeadline("", 0, "WARNDEAD", "WARNEV", "Date^Time");

(Where, Date is the name of a Date type field, Time is the name of a Time type field.)
