pub.task:TaskQueueInfo

name

String Optional. The name of the task. This name appears in various places in the My webMethods user interface, such as on the Details View tab in My Inbox and in the Task Management Results list.

A task does not require a name. If a name is assigned, it does not need to be unique. Maximum length is 255 characters.

customTaskID

String Optional. An application-defined identifier for the task. This ID is separate from the internal taskID that the Task Engine automatically generates and assigns to a task instance. The identifier in customTaskID is visible in the user interface and is also searchable using the pub.task.taskclient:searchTasks service. For example, if a task relates to an order approval process, you might assign the order number to the customTaskID.

Note:

Although customTaskID is meant to uniquely identify a task, the Task Engine does not enforce uniqueness of the value in this field. The application is responsible for assigning unique identifiers to customTaskID if they are needed.

assignedTaskList

String List Optional. The IDs of the principals (users or roles on My webMethods Server) to which this task is assigned. Setting this list assigns the task to the specified users or roles. The Task Engine uses this list to route the task to the appropriate users.

priority

String Optional. The priority of the task. Must be one of the following values (values are case-sensitive):

none low medium high critical

expireDate

java.util.Date Optional. The date and time when the task instance expires. When expireDate is reached, the Task Engine automatically switches the status value for the task to "expired."

If an expire date is not specified, the task never expires.

parentTaskID

String. The value of the parent task ID in the case when tasks are used for collaboration workflow. When queuing a new task, if a valid taskID is specified for "parentTaskID", the task to be queued is created as a child task of the parent task. For more information, see webMethods BPM Task Development Help.

isMandatory

Integer Optional. Specifies if the collaboration task is a mandatory task. A parent task can be marked as completed only when the status of all the mandatory child tasks is Completed, Error, Canceled, or Expired.

taskScheduleDate

Date Specifies the date and time the task should start. The status of the task changes based on the value specified for taskScheduleDate.

If you specify a date that is later than the current date, the task status will be Scheduled.

If you do not specfiy a date, the task will be active.

Note:

Configure a scheduler rule in Designer so that the status of a task changes from Scheduled to active when the task starts or queues at the scheduled time.
