RE: Starting Process

Hi Frans,

I'll Zap you a code snippet here, and put in a few comments on starting a
process with some variables ...


	private static SharkMessage userNewProcess( SharkConnection sConn,
SharkMessage sharkMessage ) {
		String pkgId = sharkMessage.getPackagename();
		try {      // This Part ensures that a the package is loaded

			if(!sharkPa.isPackageOpened(
sharkMessage.getPackagename() ))
				pkgId = sharkLoadPackage(
sharkMessage.getPackagename() );
			else
				pkgId = sharkMessage.getPackagename();
		} catch (Exception e3) {
			pkgId = null;
		}
		if(pkgId == null) {  // If the package is now loaded,
terminate ...
			sharkMessage.setResponse( "ERROR" );
			sharkMessage.setResult( "Package failed to Open" );
			return sharkMessage;
		}
		
		// This calls my participant mapping generator, to ensure I
Have Mappings for every role in the XPDL
		// as our role - participant specifications.
		if( !sharkCheckParticipantMappings( pkgId,
sharkMessage.getProcessname() )){
			logDebug("Missing Mappings in Participants for
Package, Attempting to generate.");
			sharkGenerateParticipantMappings();
			if(!sharkCheckParticipantMappings( pkgId,
sharkMessage.getProcessname() )){
				logDebug("Cannot Start Process, not all
participants are mapped.");
				sharkMessage.setResponse( "ERROR" );
				sharkMessage.setResult( "Package is missing
Participants" );
				return sharkMessage;
			}
		}
		
		try {
			// Create the process for the user connection
			WfProcess userProcess = sConn.createProcess(pkgId,
sharkMessage.getProcessname());
	
			// Create a new Map for the variables which are
going onto the process
			Map messageData = new HashMap();

			// Try to add pIn Variable to the process
			messageData.put("pIn", sharkMessage.getRequest() );
	
			try {
				userProcess.set_process_context( messageData
);
			} catch (Exception e) {}

			messageData = userProcess.process_context();

			// Try to add pUser Variable to the Process
			messageData.put("pUser", sharkMessage.getUsername()
);
			try {
				userProcess.set_process_context( messageData
);
			} catch (Exception e) {}

			// Start the Process
			userProcess.start();
			
			// Get the resultant Variables after the process has
started
			messageData = userProcess.process_context();
	
			// Sets my message variables which get returnes via
a webservice, back to my MVC
			sharkMessage.setProcesskey( userProcess.key() );
			sharkMessage.setActivitykey( "" );
			sharkMessage.setResponse(
(String)messageData.get("pStat"));
			sharkMessage.setResult(
(String)messageData.get("pOut"));
			sharkMessage.setRequest( "" );
	
		} catch (Exception e) { // Of course if anything goes wrong,
there is a error ....
			sharkMessage.setResponse( "ERROR" );
			sharkMessage.setResult( "Could not start process: "
+ e.getMessage() );
			return sharkMessage;
		}
		return sharkMessage;
	}
	

Hope this snippet helps with starting your processes ...

Subject: [shark] Starting Process

Hi All,

Now I am starting to create an instantiation.

i got there is 3 procedure in processStart

public static void processStart(String mgrName) public static void
processStart(String mgrName, SharkConnection sConn) public static void
processStart(String pkgId, String pDefId)

because i am still new in Shark, anyone can help?

I want to make an instantiate with automatic start this mean will make the
state open.running.

and after the state running, i want to inject the variable, so all the next
user for approval just approve.



i got this procedure
public static void variableSet(SharkConnection sConn,
                                          String activityId,
                                          String vName,
                                          String vValue)

but i still cannot understand, what happen if all the variable in XPDL 
is more than 1,

anyone can help this concept?

Frans
