About Synchronizing Stages and Events with Software AG Designer
You can create, modify, and delete stages, and enable/disable EDA events, in two locations:
In
Software AG Designer, on the
Stages and
Runtime pages in the Properties view.
In
webMethods Monitor,on the Edit Process page in
My webMethods.
In both cases, any changes to the stage runtime settings in a process model are saved to the Process Audit database. The saved changes overwrite the existing setting details in the database. As a best practice, you should ensure that your runtime settings are always synchronized between the two locations.
In Monitor, you must consider the following:
When you open the Edit Process page to view the process model settings in the Process Stages and EDA Events window, the stage and event settings saved in the Process Audit database are retrieved and displayed.
When you save the process model stage and event settings on Edit Process page, the settings are written to the Process Audit database, overwriting whatever stage and event settings are stored there.
Designer writes stage and event settings to the database when the process model is built and uploaded, overwriting whatever stage and event settings are stored there.
If a Designer user and a Monitor user modify the database stage or event settings at the same time in Designer and My webMethods respectively, the Designer user could overwrite the updates of the Monitor user and vice versa.
A Synchronize button is available in Designer for both stages and events, enabling the Designer user to apply the current database stage settings to the process model in Designer. You are advised to establish procedures to ensure that stage settings event settings are managed without conflict between Designer users and Edit Process page users.
To help ensure that you are working with the latest settings, you are advised to either refresh the Edit Process page or re-open the Edit Process page immediately before modifying and saving stage and event settings.
