Field Detail

NAME

public static final String NAME

Label for the attribute; Human readable, descriptive identifier of the execution object.

Supported API: true

Constant Field Values

PRIORITY

public static final String PRIORITY

Label for the attribute; Relative priority of the execution object in the set of all objects of a given type. Valid values are numbers between one and five, with three being "normal" and one as the "highest" priority.

Supported API: true

Constant Field Values

CONTEXT

public static final String CONTEXT

Label for the attribute; Input and output data for the execution object. The context is described by a set of named variables (also called "attributes" or "properties"). These variables can be both read and written by the object. The context for a process correspond to the global data for all process activities. For activities, it is possible to map its (local) variables onto process (global) variables. This mapping provides the way by which activities communicate data.

Supported API: true

Returns:

String

setName

public void setName(String a_Name)

Sets the value of the attribute: NAME. Human readable, descriptive identifier of the execution object.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

a_Name -

getPriority

public long getPriority()

Gets the value of the attribute: PRIORITY. Relative priority of the execution object in the set of all objects of a given type. Valid values are numbers between one and five, with three being "normal" and one as the "highest" priority.

Supported API: true

Returns:

long

setPriority

public void setPriority(long a_Priority)

Sets the value of the attribute: PRIORITY. Relative priority of the execution object in the set of all objects of a given type. Valid values are numbers between one and five, with three being "normal" and one as the "highest" priority.

getContext

public ProcessData getContext()

Gets the value of the attribute: CONTEXT. Input and output data for the execution object. The context is described by a set of named variables (also called "attributes" or "properties"). These variables can be both read and written by the object. The context for a process correspond to the global data for all process activities. For activities, it is possible to map its (local) variables onto process (global) variables. This mapping provides the way by which activities communicate data.

Supported API: true

Returns:

ProcessData

setContext

public void setContext(ProcessData a_Context)

Sets the value of the attribute: CONTEXT. Input and output data for the execution object. The context is described by a set of named variables (also called "attributes" or "properties"). These variables can be both read and written by the object. The context for a process correspond to the global data for all process activities. For activities, it is possible to map its (local) variables onto process (global) variables. This mapping provides the way by which activities communicate data.
