Modified: 05-Nov-2019
Applies To
- Windchill PDMLink 10.1 to 11.0
Description
- A workflow has a global process variable defined (ex. test of type java.lang.String)
- Workflow has two activities that are simultaneously kicked off
- Variable local to each activity in the workflow is defined within each activity and is initialized from the global variable
- test is set up to capture comments entered into the tasks:
test+=workitem.getContext().getTaskComments();
- Activity is set up to display the variable on the Activity page:
- When the activities run simultaneously the process-level variable only appends the comments from the simultaneous activity completed last rather than the comments from both activities
- Example:
- User A assigned to Activity 1 enters in "User A comments" and completes his task first
- User B assigned to Activity 1a enters in "User B comments" and completes his task
- When Activity 2 is executed test will only display "User B comments" on the Activity 2 page
