Correlation in OBPM

This is the continue blog of Message wait and notification in OBPM

The exp file is under Avio-OBPM Training\Message Wait\

Tasks_4_5_6

Open “Process to Notify With Correlation” , double click “Begin” activity

Click the Correlation icon

add new correlation and add property

 

 

The initial code about customerId is in “Task 4 – Create Instance”.

input "Customer Id" : customerIdArg
    using title = "Create instance", 
          buttons = ["Ok", "Cancel"]
    returning selectedButton = selection

Here is the UI.

Double click the “Wait” activity, add argument

Add correlation

The initiate should be “No” as it is already initiated in the “Begin” activity.

In process “Notification using a Correlation”, put the code below in “Task 6 – Notification using a correlation”

custId as String
args as Any[Any]

input "Enter customer Id to notify" : custId
    using title = "customer id", 
          buttons = ["Ok", "Cancel"]
    returning selectedButton = selection

// Set the value to the argument in the Message Wait
args["customerIdArg"] = custId

send Notification
    using processId = "/ProcessToNotifyWithCorrelation", 
          activityName = "Wait", 
          arguments = args, 
          argumentSetName = "WaitIn"

To test it

Since there is no interactive activity, nothing will be show in the inbox. It will simply wait here until it is notified.

input the same customer id to notify

The instance is notified and displayed in the inbox.

 

The correlation initiate could be done in code

In the “Beginning” activity

Put in an automatic activity with this code

valuesToUse as Any[]

valuesToUse[] = customerId

initiate Correlation
	using name = "customer",
		values = valuesToUse
