Perform Rendezvous

Begin the process of executing many sub-processes in parallel.

Why use it
  • You may want to implement group polling scenario as part of the business process.
Properties




Input Parameters

Input: Settings

Inputs - Rendezvous input settings. Please use the provided editor to configure the details.

Rendezvous Parameters - Provide the form and participating user details

Form Variable Location - A form variable in this process to be passed into an input parameter of the sub-process..

Instance List Location - A string containing a set of tokens to be passed into each instance of the subprocess. The number of tokens in the string determines the number of sub-processes to create, and each token gets passed into a different sub-process instance. This works with either a variable or a literal value.

List Delimiter - A short string that is used to delimit tokens in the above 'Instance List Location' (e.g. instance list contains '{$ /process_data/@userList $}', and List Delimiter contains '#'.

Sub Process/es - Configure the sub-process details

Sub-process Category - This is the category that contains the sub-process we wish to perform a multi-instance rendezvous over.

Sub-process Name - The name of the sub-process we wish to perform a multi-instance rendezvous over (must be in the 'active' state).

Sub-process Form Param - An input parameter in the sub-process through which a form can be passed (from the parent process). For example: a form that members of a group use to perform a vote with in the sub-process.

Sub-process Instance Param - A sub-process input parameter to pass an instance-specific token into. One instance-token taken from the Instance List defined above is passed into the sub-process through here. An example of this would be a userID parameter, to be looked up by a user task in the sub-process, for the purposes of initial user selection.

Sub-process Output Param - If you wish to get results back from each sub-process instance select a sub-process output parameter. If you are using this rendezvous in 'Consensus Mode' ensure that this parameter is boolean ('true' = approve, 'false' = deny, and '' = abstain). If you are intending to use this task in 'XML List Mode' then use a string or an XML string parameter.

Rendezvous Policy - Provide the policy details here

Is Concensus Mode - Select 'true' to process simple boolean results returning from the sub-process. Then the rendezvous will count the votes ('true's versus 'false's and output 'approve', or 'deny'. Alternatively: Select 'false' to pass XML data from each sub-process up into the parent process. The rendezvous task will group each XML block into a result document.

Is Majority Mode - Use this to determine how the rendezvous processes the approvals, denials and empty votes coming back from the sub-processes. The rendezvous will count the votes and use them to output 'approve' or 'deny' to this process. If this parameter is set to 'true' then the number of approvals from sub-processes must be a majority to produce a rendezvous approval.

Percentage Approvers - If the rendezvous is not set to majority mode then this parameter gets used to determine the how to count the votes. Perform rendezvous approval only if the sub-process approval greater is greater than this perectage. Otherwise produce a rendezvous 'deny'.






Output Parameters

Output: Settings

Rendezvous Decision - If rendezvous is used in 'Consensus Mode' this contains the outcome of counting each member's vote and measuring that against the required number for approval. If rendezvous is used in 'XML List Mode' an aggregated XML document is produced, that groups the XML fragments of each sub-process instance together.
