Property

Description

Implementation

Integration Server Name

Assigned Integration Server Name (logical server).

Receive Protocol

Type of receive protocol to use. Select Subscription (For Publishable Documents) (default), JMS (for JMS Triggered Processes), or Simple Service (For Synchronous Receive/Send) from the list.

Note:

The Receive Protocol is not editable in Adapter Notification steps.

Receive Document

The document type to receive.

Click Browse... to open the Choose Document dialog box and locate a service on an Integration Server or in CentraSite.

Click New... to open the Create a New Document Type dialog box and create a new document on a configured Integration Server.

Click View... to open the selected document in a document editor. The View... button is available only when a document is specified in the Document field.

Note:

The Receive Document is not editable in Adapter Notification steps.

Note:

Selecting an e-form or CSP-sourced Integration Server document as the step's Receive Document automatically selects the Enable content repository support check box and enables E-form properties.

Protocol Properties

Available for JMS protocol only.

Connection Alias. Accept the default PE_NONTRASACTIONAL_ALIAS or click the browse button to select another alias (an Integration Server connection is required). For more information, see Configuring a JMS-Triggered Process.

Destination Name. Required. You must specify a destination name. Defined by default as: projectName_ProcessName_ SUBQUEUE. To specify another destination name, click the browse button (an Integration Server connection is required).

Subscription Filter

Available for the Subscription (For Publishable Documents) and JMS (For JMS Triggered Processes) protocols only. The instances of a subscription document that can trigger the process. See Working with Subscription Filters.

Generated Service Name

Name of the generated flow service used at run time.

Retry Count

Number of times the Process Engine retries the service in the case of an Integration Server run-time exception. The default value is 0, or no retries.

Note:

The retry mechanism is invoked only when a step service generates an ISRuntimeException error. Any other exception, such as an EXIT with a FAILURE error, causes the step to fail.

Retry Interval

Number of milliseconds (ms) the Process Engine waits between retry attempts in the case of an Integration Server run-time exception. The default value is 60000 ms, or 60 seconds.

Allow Parallel Execution

Lock the step at run-time to allow it to be executed by multiple threads.

Compensating

Places a BPMN compensation marker on the step, indicating that it is used for compensation. This is notational only and has no effect on the behavior of the activity.

E-form

Selecting an e-form or CSP sourced Integration Server document as the step's Receive Document automatically selects the Enable content repository support check box and enables E-form properties.

Receive tasks that start processes and those that do not start processes can use e-forms or CSP documents.

For more information on working with e-forms, see Selecting an E-form Content Repository and the PDF publication Implementing E-form Support for BPM.

Important:

Incoming e-form instances must have the correct file name extension (for example, .xml for InfoPath forms, .xdp for LiveCycle forms). Otherwise, they will not trigger the receive task.

Content Repository

Select Browse... to specify a My webMethods Server content repository where e-form instances are monitored by the Process Engine listener. If you are using webMethods Content Service Platform documents, select your Content Service Platform repository.

For more information on working with My webMethods Server documents, see Selecting a webMethods Content Service Repository and the PDF publication Implementing webMethods Content Service Platform for BPM.

Template Name

Selecting an e-form or CSP sourced Integration Server document as the step's Receive Document automatically populates this field.

For more information about using e-forms, see Using E-forms in a Process and the PDF publication Implementing E-form Support for BPM.

For more information about using CSP documents, see Using webMethods Content Service Platform Documents in a Processand the PDF publication Implementing webMethods Content Service Platform for BPM.

Logged Fields

Inputs

Input fields to log. Inputs are logged before the step executes. For more information, see Log Inputs and Outputs.

Outputs

Output fields to log. Outputs are logged after the step executes.

Joins

Join Type

A join type defines the logic the process follows when a step has multiple incoming transitions. Options: OR, AND, COMPLEX, or Unsynchronized OR.

See About Joins.

Note:

The Joins page is displayed only when a step has more than one incoming transition.

Join Timeout

The timeout duration value, after which this join fails. This option is available for AND and COMPLEX joins only. The source of this value can be:

A static value that you define.

A value from a field in the process pipeline. The field value is interpreted in milliseconds.

A value based on a business calendar in My webMethods Server. You can specify a static number of days, hours, and minutes, or specify a pipeline field to set the day, hours, or minutes value.

For more information, see About Join Timeouts.

Join Condition

Use the join condition editor to define a condition for the gateway join. This option is available only for a complex join in a complex gateway.

When the terms of this condition are met (that is, the condition is true), the join is considered satisfied.

For more information about using the condition editor, see About Complex Join Expressions and Defining a Complex Join Expression.

Deprecated properties (not recommended)

These deprecated properties are not available for unsynchronized OR joins.

Suppress Join Failure

This option is not recommended except in very isolated cases. For more information, see Migrating Process Models with Join Steps to Version 9.7 and Later.

Ignore dead path notification

This option is not recommended except in very isolated cases. For more information, see Migrating Process Models with Join Steps to Version 9.7 and Later.

Correlation

Select Not Used, Field, or Service. For more information, see Specifying Correlations.
