You can create an activity for a case type from a FileNet P8 process.
Before you begin
Before you can add an existing FileNet P8
process as an activity, you must import one or more processes into a global workflow process
collection for the solution by using IBM®
FileNet Process Designer.
About this task
Important: You can change the selected process if you edit the activity, but if you
select a different process you must map properties again.
Procedure
To add an existing workflow as an activity:
-
From the Activities page, click .
If
Activity with Existing FileNet P8
Process is not available, then no process is associated with the solution.
Tip: If you want to add the process as a subtask inside a container activity, open the
container activity first. Then, click .
-
In the General window, specify the name, unique identifier, a description
(optional), define how the activity starts, and assign the activities to a set (optional).
-
In the Preconditions window, define any preconditions that are required
before the activity can start.
-
In the Select Process window, select
the workflow to reuse.
-
In the Map Properties window, map
process data fields to solution properties:
-
Select a process data field name from the reused workflow.
-
Select a solution property name to map to the selected
process data field name.
Property names must match the
data type and number of values (single value or multivalue) of the
selected data field. After selecting a data field name, only valid
matching properties are displayed in the Case type property
name menu.
-
To add the selected mapping to the property map, click
the plus (+) icon.
- Optional:
Click Finish or
proceed to the final step.
- Optional:
In the Design Comment window, add a design comment that explains the
reasons this activity was created, or what the imported process does, or how it works with the
solution, for example.
-
Click Finish.
Results
You can edit the activity in Case Builder, but
you can edit the reused process only in IBM
FileNet Process Designer.
