The following instructions
will help you complete
your homework.
Instructions
Step #1: Data Object
6
▸ Create the following data object and save it
Step #2: Create DeliveryProcess
7
▸ Create a process definition called DeliveryProcess (in the same package as the Order data object) with one
process variable order of type Order, which is the data object from the previous step
▸ Assign Manual Delivery human task to wbadmin and set its Task Name (e.g. ManualDelivery)
together with the following assignments:
▸ Save the process definition
Step #3: Generate all forms
8
▸ Generate all forms
▸ Deploy the project, try to run the process instance and complete the human task
Step #4: Automate Delivery
9
▸ Add a field mode of type String to the Order data object, this will represent the mode of delivery, and Save it
▸ Extend the process definition like in the picture and Save it
This is the default route
Set the condition here
Create the signal definition
Step #5: Try running it
10
▸ Delete Order form and regenerate them so they contain the newly added mode field
▸ Run the process with both “Manual” and “Drone” mode
▸ With the “Manual” mode specified, the Manual Delivery human task should be created
▸ With the “Drone” mode specified, the process instance should wait for a signal which you can send from the
Manage - Process Instances perspective
▸ If the mode variable is not filled properly (Manual Delivery branch is taken even if “Drone” mode is selected), try
restarting the Business Central and redeploying the project once again or raise the version of the project in project
settings and deploy again
Step #6: Export Project
11
▸ Export the project and upload the whole project.zip
archive to the Homework Vault/Odevzdávárna
HW1_jBPM
▸ Open whichever asset you want and expand the menu by clicking on the arrow
▸ Download the project ZIP file by clicking on the Download Project button
