Add
One-Step™
Actions
and other actions to execute after transitions in your Business Object
lifecycle.
Use the
Lifecycle Editor (accessed from within a
Blueprint
in
CSM Administrator) to add post-transition actions to your lifecycle.
- Open an existing Business Object lifecycle in the
Business Object Lifecycle Editor.
- Select the status on the designer board that you want to add the
post-transition action to.
The
Transitions area is shown below the designer
board.
- Select the transition that you want to add the action
after, and select
Edit.
The
Edit Transition window opens.
- Select the
Post Actions tab, ensure the rule is selected,
and then select
Edit
.
- Add a
One-Step Action
or select
Execute Action and choose from the expanding
list.
- Select the
Run in background check box if you are using
actions that don't modify the Business Object itself (example: sending emails,
adding to queues). When the check box is selected, the Service Host performs
the actions in a queue, whereas when the check box is cleared, the action is
performed instantly (example: automatically populate a field).
Important: To execute post-transition actions
successfully in the background, the
Cherwell Service Host
must be running.
- Select
OK twice.
- Select
Save on the toolbar (or select
Ctrl+S) to save your lifecycle while working.
Select
OK at the end when editing is complete and you
want to save your lifecycle and close the Lifecycle Editor.
If not valid, you are not allowed to save and are asked to
fix the issues. See
Validate a Lifecycle.
- Publish
the Blueprint
() to commit the changes, or
save the
Blueprint () to continue making other changes.
