Hi All
Pls Tell me how can I achieve this functionalty.
I have created a workitem with 2 day as Notification Duration.
Now I want to extend it. How can I perform this.
If I change _ACTIVITY_INFO properties after creation using PEA.
Will they be in effect. |

I am pretty sure that this will work, but you should test it to make sure:
1. The Activity Must be in a block.
2. You use either start or CO/CI and set the Exit condition of the Block to fail and update the Notification duration in the container. You must Map this to the sink of the block, and from the data loop connector in the Block.
3. When the Block Exit condition fails the Workitem will be regenerated and the Notification time will be re-set also.
Good Luck

HI John
Thnx A lot. One more question john.
If I suspend the process instance then should work item also suspend i.e. their
expiry time must extend ? ???
Can i change the user role in runtime ? If not then Why staff assignment to Role is said to be Dynamic as it is fixed when I imported FDL ??
Thnx |

As to Suspend w/ expire, you will have to test this, but you might be able to have the expiration clock stopped by specifiying on the Control page "Notification Mode" of HOLD
As to the Staff question, I really don't understand what you are asking, can you be more specific

Yes I got it( Suspension of WI).
I Rephrase my 2nd question.
Dynamic assignment is assigning to Role not to Person.
Can I change the Role of Person from API program during Runtime ??
(I couldn't find way to do this )
If not then why it is said to be Dynamic b/c Assigned Person can not
change their role in Runtime.It is fixed i.e. Static.
Need your thoughts on this
Rgds

Mark:
The staffing by role is said to be dynaic, because when workitems are generated they will be generated for every user who is assigned to that role. If you were to specify individual people, you would need to modify your process model every time one of the individuals changed.
There are no APIs available to change staffing at runtime. While I agree that this is something that we could sorely use, I can not agree that the staffing is static as you say.
Perhaps we will one day get some staff APIs but at the moment there are none.
