Controls in the Coaches toolkit (deprecated)

Controls are coach views in the Coaches (SYSC) toolkit.

IBM BPM version 8570 cumulative fix 2017.06Remember: All the Dojo-based controls in the Coaches toolkit are deprecated. For new coach views, use the responsive controls in the BPM UI toolkit instead. See Controls in the BPM UI toolkit.
The reference topics in this section contain the following information:
  • A description of the control and any additional information such as restrictions and examples.
  • A table that provides information about its binding such as the purpose for the binding and the expected data type.
  • A table that lists its configuration options, which that you can see on the Configuration page of a control instance. That is, you see these options when you select a control in a coach view layout. The definition configuration column identifies the corresponding configuration variable for each configuration option and its default value if it has one. The variables are defined in the Variables page of the control.

Dojo

Important: The latest version of Coaches toolkit uses the following Dojo version with AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition):
  • Dojo 1.10.4
  • IBM BPM version 8570 cumulative fix 3Dojo 1.10.5

IBM® Business Process Manager bundles this version of Dojo as part of the coach view support. The bundled Dojo might be updated as needed over time. This might include entire new Dojo versions and specific defect fixes. The Dojo project defines the compatibility of future Dojo versions.

IBM BPM version 8570 cumulative fix 3For example, when you upgrade to IBM BPM V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2016.12, your Dojo version is automatically upgraded to Dojo 1.10.5 if your coach or system toolkit is version 8.5.7. After the upgrade, any custom artifacts that were built using Dojo 1.10.4 must be verified to ensure that they are working correctly.

Process applications that depend on earlier snapshots of Coaches toolkit or System Data toolkit (for example, process applications that are migrated from earlier versions) continue to use the older version of Dojo. If you upgrade the Coaches toolkit or System Data toolkit dependency to the latest version, review existing coach views in the process application to assess the impact of the upgrade in the Dojo version.

To ensure predictable user interfaces and behavior, do not mix snapshot versions of the Coaches toolkit or the System Data toolkit in the process application and its dependencies. For example, a process application has a dependency on Coaches toolkit 8.5.5, System Data toolkit 8.0.1, and a custom toolkit. If the custom toolkit also has a dependency on the Coaches toolkit, that dependency must be to the 8.5.5 snapshot. If the custom toolkit also has a dependency on the System Data toolkit, that dependency must be to the 8.0.1 snapshot.
