Hello  ,
I have some doubts. And it wud be great if anybody cud throw some light on them for me.
1) Can you provide multiple data structures as input to an activity or process ? If so , what is the format to specify in Buildtime?
2) When two activities have control connectors to a single activity, does the activity wait for both the previous activities to finish? Or is the solution 'All incoming connectors true' shud be checked right?
3) In the latest release of WBI Modeler and Monitor v 4.2.4 , has the XML mapper been removed? Why is it that they are not mentioning it as part of the WBI Workbench?
4) If the GDC is used, is a table created in RT DB , for each and every process instance ? or is a table created for a process template ? And what will be the name of such table?
Thanks in advance  ,

1: NO
2: Yes, it will wait until all the previous activities are done.
4. I don't think so

| I can't believe I said "Yes" to the first question. It is a big NO NO. Sorry about that and I have updated the original post also. |

snan,
I suppose you know a Data Structure can be a part of other Data Structures.

Answer to 4 th question
Database Table name is what u specified in the process template properties--> Global container --> Table name
I think this not mandatory..May be if u don't specify then workflow might create the table name..

Maybe I can help on point number 1.
If you have two data structure A and B and want to use them both at a specific activity, you can create (as mentionned by Ratan) a data structure C which includes A and B. Then Use C as the datastructure for your activty. Let say the two incoming atcivities are named actA (using structure A) and actB (Using structure B). There is two container mapping to the actC (Using structure C). You will have to manually map from the container mapping window (In WF buildtime) the datastructures (Drag and drop).
The biggest issue when manipulating activity with different data structure as above is that the container name in actC will have for prefix the name of the instance of structure A as defined in structure C followed by the name of the member data of structure A.
For example, if structure A is:
name (string)
surname (string)
structure C:
person (structure A)
Details (structure B)
In actC the container name for the person name is person.name and it was only name in actA.
I hope it helps.
Cheers. |
