ClassWorkflowSubscription Properties

The list of ActiveMarking objects currently applied to a given object. Each ActiveMarking object represents a marking that is in a MarkingSet associated with a property on the object.

An EventSet collection of the Event objects containing the audited events that have occurred for the object.

Specifies a ClassDescription object containing the fixed description (immutable metadata) of the class from which this object is instantiated.

Indicates the name of the user assigned as the creator of the object.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is settable only on create. After initial object creation, this property is read-only for all users.

Indicates the date and time the object was created. The Content Engine server stores dates and times using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For more information, see Timestamps.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is settable only on create. After initial object creation, this property is read-only for all users.

Indicates the date and time the object was last modified. The Content Engine server stores dates and times using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For more information, see Timestamps.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is read/write. (The read/write access for those users can only change if a change is made to the ACL on the object store that controls who has privileged write access to objects in that object store).

User-readable text that describes an object.

The text is not locale-specific to the retrieving user except for the following classes:

• ClassDescription
• PropertyDescription
• ClassDefinition
• PropertyTemplate
• PropertyDefinition

The user-readable, provider-specific name of an object. This property is usually the designated Name property of the object's class.

For CmAuditProcessingBookmark and AuditDefinition objects, this property is intended to identify client applications that process the audit log. For CmAuditProcessingBookmark objects, this property, in support of the audit disposition feature, identifies the client that created the object. For AuditDefinition objects, this property identifies a set of audit definitions for a given client or client functionality.

For CmAuditProcessingBookmark and AuditDefinition objects, it is recommended that you set this property. Specify a unique value to distinguish one client application from another. Note, however, that the server does not prevent identical display names across multiple CmAuditProcessingBookmark or AuditDefinition objects. Therefore, the client application is responsible for enforcing uniqueness.

Indicates whether the workflow for a subscription object can be launched manually (true) or not (false).

The event action object that defines the actions to be taken when a event occurs that is subscribed to by a Subscription-based object (ClassSubscription, ClassWorkflowSubscription, InstanceSubscription, InstanceWorkflowSubscription). You set the property with an EventAction object, which must already exist in the object store. You then specify the property when you create the Subscription-based object.

Once this property is set, the Content Engine adds the Subscription-based object to the EventAction object's Subscriptions collection property.

Specifies an ExternalIdentityList collection of the read-only ExternalIdentity objects that represent the identities of replicas of this object in external repositories.

The text of a filter expression that, when evaluated, determines the action to be taken on the source object. This property applies to StoragePolicy, Subscription, AuditDefinition CmSweepPolicy, and CmSweepJob objects.

For StoragePolicy, FilterExpression is used as the selection criteria for determining into which storage area the content for a document or annotation should be stored. The expression is evaluated against all storage areas to determine which ones are deemed "equivalent" in terms of this storage policy. For more information, see Storage policies.

For Subscription, FilterExpression is used to determine whether the event action should be launched. For AuditDefinition, FilterExpression is used to determine whether an event should be audited. The filter is applied to either the source object, or, optionally, to the object specified in the FilteredPropertyId property of Subscription or AuditDefinition. Note that for version series subscriptions, the filter is applied to the document version in the transaction and not to the version series.

For Subscription, the Content Engine server evaluates the filter expression, as follows:

• If the value of the expression evaluates to true, the event action specified by the subscription is fired or enqueued, as appropriate (depending on whether the event action is set to execute synchronously or asynchronously).
• If the value evaluates to false or unknown (typically resulting from a property that has no value), or if there is an error in the evaluation (such as a syntax error in the expression or an incorrect reference to a property), the event action is silently discarded.

For a sweep job or sweep policy, FilterExpression is used to evaluate each instance of the sweep-target class. If the value of the expression evaluates to true, an operation is applied to the instance. The operation performed depends on the type of sweep.

For AuditDefinition objects, FilterExpression is only applicable to GetContentEvent and events of type ObjectChangeEvent. If the value of the expression evaluates to true, the event is audited; otherwise, it is not audited.

The syntax of this property must be a fragment of a SQL where-clause expression (for example, VersionStatus = 1) and use supported operators. See SQL Syntax Reference.

Note that some operators that are valid in an ad hoc SQL query are not supported in FilterExpression. The following operators are not supported.

• Binary compare operators (e.g., Equal Binary)
• Contains
• Exists
• Float64 To Integer 32 Round/Truncate
• In Folder and In Subfolder
• Integer32 To Float 32
• IsDefined
• Joins (e.g., Full Outer Join)

Note that a filter expression can include conditions expressed against non-queryable and non-persistent properties. For example, the following is a valid expression: Owner='jsmith'

For Subscription and AuditDefinition objects only, you can use the IsModified predicate, for filtering events based on modified properties of the source object.

A filter expression using the IsModified predicate must be constructed as follows: IsModified(property), where property can be in any form supported elsewhere in the query, for example, table_alias.property_alias.

Note that the IsModified predicate can only be used in a filter expression. It cannot be used in an ad hoc SQL query.

The symbolic name of a singleton, object-valued property defined on the source object for use in evaluation by the filter expression. (The filter expression is defined by the FilterExpression property). For example, an event on a ReferentialContainmentRelationship can specify Head in the FilterPropertyId property to have the containable object -- rather than the ReferentialContainmentRelationship -- used for filtering.

The use of a filter expression is optional. If FilterPropertyId is null, the source object itself is evaluated by the filter expression.

NOTE For PublishRequestEvent, apply the filter expression on the InputDocument property of the PublishRequest object, not on an object-valued property of the source object being published. When you publish a document, a PublishRequest object is created, which, at runtime, is the source object on which PublishRequestEvent is triggered.

A representation of the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), a unique 128-bit number, that is assigned to this Content Engine object when the object is created. When converted to a string, the Id property is typically depicted as 32 hexadecimal characters enclosed by brackets in the following format: {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. For example, {3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301}.

For User and Group classes, the Id property takes the value of the Security Identifier (SID) rather than the 128-bit GUID. The string representation of the SID is in this example format: S-1-5-21-1559522492-2815155736-3711640725-55269. When Active Directory is used as the directory service for IBM FileNet P8, calls to User.get_Id() and Group.get_Id() always return the current SID for the principal, even if this user or group has only historical SIDs populating the Active Directory server.

For a given property representation, the Id property has the following characteristics:

• PropertyDescription.get_Id() is equal to PropertyTemplate.get_Id(), which is equal to PropertyDefinition.get_PrimaryId().
• PropertyDefinition.get_Id() is not equal to PropertyDefinition.get_PrimaryId().
• PropertyDefinition.get_Id() is not equal to PropertyDescription.get_Id().

For a newly created document object, you can override the Id property of its associated VersionSeries object before you save or check in the document for the first time.

Indicates whether the operation should apply to the subclasses of the class. For a ClassSubscription object, this property indicates whether the subscription should also apply to the subclasses of the target class. For an AuditDefinition object, this property indicates whether auditing should also apply to the subclasses of the class configured for auditing.

Indicates whether a given object is enabled or disabled. For example, you can globally disable or enable active events by setting an EventAction object's IsEnabled property to false (off) or true (on). Likewise, you can enable or disable a subscription, a security template, an audit definition, an audit disposition policy, a change preprocessor definition, a change preprocessor action, and a sweep. The property defaults to true.

Enabling a security template indicates that it can be applied to an object. A disabled security template remains part of its security policy container, but cannot be applied to an object. Disabling a security template is useful when you are testing or developing the security templates that make up a security policy.

Disabling a subscription prevents the code handler associated with the event from being loaded and executed. You might want to disable a subscription that is undergoing modifications due to a change in business processes, or when you do not want code procedures to execute against federated documents. Note that when you disable an EventAction, all of its associated subscriptions are also disabled. However, when you disable one particular Subscription, you only disable events that are in its subscribed event list.

Disabling a change preprocessor action has system scope, that is, it prevents code handler execution for all class definitions that reference the change preprocessor action. On the other hand, disabling a change preprocessor definition has class scope; it prevents code handler execution for only that class definition, and for any subclass definitions to which the changed property value is propagated.

The method by which the event procedure code is executed for a Subscription-based object (ClassSubscription, ClassWorkflowSubscription, InstanceSubscription, InstanceWorkflowSubscription). To execute the event procedure synchronously, set the property to true. To execute the event procedure asynchronously (in the background), set the property to false. The default is false. Specify the property when you create the Subscription-based object.

When an asynchronous event procedure is triggered, the action occurs on a separate execution thread, allowing the subscription processor to continue without waiting for the results of the action. The Content Engine inserts the event into the QueueItem table, after any other waiting asynchronous operations, and executes it when resources permit. While execution usually occurs instantaneously, there might be a delay if many other asynchronous events or operations (such as security propagation or XML classification) are waiting in the queue. If your application depends on a particular asynchronous event procedure being completed, your application should first test the status of that event to verify its completion.

If the asynchronous event action fails, the exception comes back to the server. The event action transaction rolls back, but the transaction of the originating activity executes.

Note that for domains in which there are multiple Content Engine server instances, any server in the domain can handle a queued asynchronous event, not just the server that generated the event.

When a synchronous event procedure is triggered, the call to execute the event action blocks further processing by the subscription processor until the action completes. The action runs in the same transaction as the originating activity on the target object. If the action fails, the exception comes back to the client. The single transaction rolls back; therefore, the originating activity fails along with the event action.

Note that, for a workflow subscription, this property is read-only with a value of false because a workflow subscription's event is always fired asynchronously on Content Engine.

The ID number identifying this isolated region.

If multiple isolated regions are associated with the same object store (as set on the ObjectStore property), then the isolated regions will share the same database connection as the object store. For the server to distinguish between isolated regions in the same database using the same database schema name, this property must be set to a unique value for each isolated region.

A unique value is not required if the isolated region will not share a database connection with other isolated regions using the same database schema name.

Indicates the name of the user who last modified this object.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is read/write. (The read/write access for those users could only change if a change is made to the ACL on the object store that controls who has privileged write access to objects in that object store).

The name for this object.

For most classes, this property is read-only and returns the value of the designated name property for the object, or its ID if there is no name property. If ClassDescription.NamePropertyIndex has a value, this property contains the value of the designated name property. If there is no designated name property value, and the object has an Id property, this property contains the string value of the Id property. If neither of these conditions is satisfied, this property contains an empty string.

For a ComponentRelationship object, this property is read/write and specifies the name of the object.

Manages the security owner assigned to the object.

Manages the discretionary permissions assigned to the object.

This property is no longer implemented. Although it is retained in the API for backward compatibility, use of this property will have no effect.

A String holding the list of mappings between the properties of a versionable-related object and workflow data fields. For example, you might want to map a document's Creator property with Employee Name, if that data field exists in the workflow definition. The workflow data fields you specify in the property map must be designated as launch step parameters in the workflow definition.

Specifies a ReplicationGroup object representing the replication group to which this replicable object belongs. For ReplicationJournalEntry objects only, this property represents the replication group to which the source object of the replication operation generating this journal entry belongs.

The suggested subject prefix for the workflow subscription.

A list of objects specifying the events to which the subscription applies. When you create a subscription, you set this property to a SubscribedEventList collection, a list of objects representing the system and custom events to which to subscribe.

The target object of a Subscription-based object(ClassSubscription, ClassWorkflowSubscription, InstanceSubscription, InstanceWorkflowSubscription). You set the property with an a Subscribable object, then specify the property when you create the Subscription-based object.

For a ClassSubscription or ClassWorkflowSubscription object, set the value of the SubscriptionTarget property to a SubscribableClassDefinition object or subclass that specifies a type of Content Engine class (for example, Document or Folder). This means that any instance of the class, whether it currently exists in the persistent store or you create a new instance, will, when acted upon, cause one or more of the EventAction object's events to be raised.

For an InstanceSubscription or InstanceWorkflowSubscription object, set the value of the SubscriptionTarget property to a specific Subscribable object. This means that only this currently instantiated object, when acted upon, causes one or more of the EventAction object's events to be raised. If the object is a VersionSeries object, the event is raised when a version in the version series is acted upon.

The current object. The primary purpose of this property is to enable the expression of relationships among objects in a Content Engine query and to select candidate objects in the query results.

A string used to identify a subscription, with no built-in behavior.

A unique identifier for a compiled (transferred) workflow definition. The Process Engine assigns this property's value after a workflow definition is transferred to the Process Engine server (either via the Process Designer application or the filenet.vw.api.VWSession interface's transfer method).

A WorkflowDefinition object representing the workflow definition associated with a workflow subscription.
