Specifying a transaction as user-triggered
You can create a transaction that is triggered by the user.
About this task
To create a user-triggered extended transaction:
Procedure
- Open the Applications Manager and select the application that you want.
- From the Transaction Details window, choose the User Triggered tab.
- In the Process Modeling window, select the Order, Load, or General tab to view the corresponding process modeling tree for that base document type.
- In the Process Types swimlane, right-click on the applicable process type and choose Model Process. The Repository Details window and work area display for the corresponding process type.
- Choose the Transactions tab.
- From the Transaction Details window, choose the User Triggered tab.
- Check ‘This transaction is triggered by Users' to indicate that this a user-triggered transaction.
- From ‘When ready, notify user using',
select the service that should be triggered when a document enters
this transaction's pickup status. For example, if all orders created
for a particular order type need to be verified by a customer service
representative when an order is created, you can create a user-triggered
transaction that invokes a service that sends an e-mail to the representative
that verifies the order. Note: You must select the applicable transaction order level from the Works Based On field on the Others tab for user notification to occur. For example, if you are configuring a transaction that is triggered by the user at the order release level, you must select Process Task Type for Order Release from the Works Based On drop-down.
- Continue to enter information in the applicable transaction fields. Refer to Table 1 for field value descriptions.
- Choose the Save transaction.
