Custom attribute for wait activity

[Jody L. Clayton]

Tim:

When making the call to the wf_engine.completeactivity API, is the activity
value passed into the API the name of the block activity to be completed. For
example-
I have a function activity that calls wf_standard.block with an internal name
of 'STATUS_1' and it is marked as a start activity in a process. To simulate
this update from the legacy application, I will make the following call:

wf_engine.CompleteActivity('OEOH', '4956', 'STATUS_1', NULL)

Is this correct?

Thanks

that should work. You can be more explicit by qualifying the label with the
process name
example:
wf_engine.CompleteActivity('OEOH', '4956', 'NEW_PORCESS:STATUS_1', NULL);
