Using Graft Steps

This chapter discusses the use of graft steps in your procedure. Graft steps are used to attach iProcess sub-processes and/or external processes to your main procedure, which have been started by an external application.

• Graft steps can only be triggered by an external application using TIBCO iProcess Objects calls. For details of how to do this, see the TIBCO iProcess Objects Client documentation. • It is not possible to use graft steps in conjunction with the Jump To feature. If a graft step is named in the send or withdraw lists for the Jump To command, the current transaction will be aborted.

Before using graft steps, you should read the information about array fields and sub-procedure parameter templates because you need to know this before you setup and use graft steps. See "Using Arrays" and "Defining Sub-procedure Parameter Templates" in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Advanced Design for more information.
