MQ Workflow 3.6 SP2

These are some of the information for different processes we are creating.

a)User assignment is dynamic from container variable

b)We are using UPES to invoke our user assignment progrem and pass that as an output to the activity which will be used for assigning the user.

c)99% of the time we will having around 4 to 5 program activity in each process.

We have a requirement for almost all the process that we have to design is to have a capability where a certain exit condition from every second activity onwards to be able to revert back to the previous activity and assign to the same user of that previous activity.

Do you think that this can be done with block, but i am having apprehension like how it will be achievable as from second activity onwards each of the activity needs to be present in 2 blocks ??

For the userid, we can do some trick with another container memebr like "previousUserId" so that it gets assigned to the same previous user

Is there a simple way out of this.?

Thanks

Using Blocks is a good idea here. Make use of conditions and containers. You have to understand what your business process is.

Thanks kotha for the reply.

I am still not sure how block will turn out in this case.

For eg. lets say we have 3 activities A, B, C in a process.

A-->B-->C

Now we need to have a design where we can revert from B to A and from C to B ( it will be made sure that C to B to A -- does not happen in a chain)

Now if we build block activity, then activity B needs to fall in 2 seperate blocks?

Now how to resolve this?

Thanks

Blocks are the only way to make this happen
