Easy questions about activiti...

[jcosano]

1) is it possible create a new process instance with a specific business key?
I would identify process instance using primary key of my model.

2) I need create new process instance every monday at 10:00 am.
Which is the best way to implement it?

thanks!!

Hi,

You can find the answer for question 1) at http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=244

For question 2), you can use scheduler to instantiate new process instance for time required.

Question 1:
I have a specific key before process instance creation. Then this solution is not valid for me. I need create process instance with concrete key.
I can add new column to my table and use this id, but ideally I would avoid this way, if i can use primary key of my table.

Question 2:
Scheduler? is a activiti component?
Now we have a process that every hour awake, (<timerEventDefinition><timeDuration>PT1H</timeDuration></timerEventDefinition>) and start process instance if conditions are true.
I suppose that I can do same more efficiently.

1) This is actually being implemented now. You will be able to provide a business key when starting a process instance, and query them later using this key

2) Thats the best workaround for the moment. Once we add timer start events, you won't need that anymore.

Thanks I see in jira point 1.

2)
And for now, my number of process is low and with this workaround can wait for timer start!


Thanks!!!!!
