SW_GETCASE_STATUS_EX

The SW_GETCASE_STATUS_EX procedure retrieves the case status of a procedure.

Syntax

SW_GETCASE_STATUS_EX (
IN proc_num integer,
IN case_num numeric(20),
OUT case_status varchar	(10))
OUT proc_type varchar (5),
OUT case_started timestamp,

where:

• proc_num is the procedure id for which the status needs to be retrieved.

• case_number is the number of the case for which status needs to be retrieved.

• case_status is the return value for case status. It can be one of the three values: Active, Suspended, or Dead.

• proc_type defines the process type. The value is either Sub, or Main.

• case_started returns the date and time when the case started.

Note	SW_GETCASE_STATUS_EX is similar to SW_GETCASE_STATUS except that it takes an extra parameter proc_num as one of the input parameters.

Note

In Process Engine versions prior to 10, case numbers were unique only under a given Procedure, but become duplicate at the Engine level. Since Procedures are always idenfitied by proc_num, in such situations, a proc_num is mandatory, to uniquely identify a case. SW_GETCASE_STATUS_EX is used in such a situation instead of SW_GETCASE_STATUS as it takes proc_num and case_num as inputs.
