Notify an event externally

[sowm...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am referring to this earlier post
https://groups.google.com/a/runmyprocess.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topicsearchin/supportforum/%22Validate$20a$20manual$20task%22/supportforum/68LddJM9yAM


I understand that the “validate a manual task” connector takes a Process-id to trigger an event externally.
How can I do the same if I only have the web-interface instance Id/ form URL.

Hi,

If you wanted to search for process instance, you can make it a custom measure.

I believe process variable P_document is the WI instance ID, be careful for AND split - there can be multiple P_documents per process instance.

You have WI instance id, you want to call process report API with filter p_document = wi instance id.

Somewhat similar use case here, might be some help - not exactly.

Overall, it will be somewhat complex, consider if it is really necessary.

Best regards,

Thanks for your response Taka!
We are trying to close/submit-forms that are still open when a particular event is triggered. This is done on the server-side.
So we save the request-id as a measure and then call “validate a manual task” connector.

I was just wondering if there is a connector that would not require the step of saving the request-id through a measure.

But this will do.

Thanks again!

Hi Sowmya,

There is no connector to make it happen without request id. This has to be retrieved somehow.

I could not get exact details of the user experience you are trying to provide.

If user is on that web form for the task, it would be easier to get retrieve the request ID using hidden text widget or ${P_request} syntax in JS widget (which will be parsed and replaced during page load).

The what ever JS you have on the form can utilize request-id of the process instance.

Best regards,
