Description

Sets the value of an item type attribute in a process. Use the correct procedure for your attribute type. All attribute types except number, date, and event use SetItemAttrText.

Attention: If you need to set the values of large numbers of item type attributes at once, use the SetItemAttributeArray APIs rather than the SetItemAttribute APIs for improved performance. See: SetItemAttributeArray

Arguments (input)

wCtx	Workflow context information. Required for the Java method only. See: Oracle Workflow Context.
itemtype	A valid item type.
itemkey	A string generated from the application object's primary key. The string uniquely identifies the item within an item type. The item type and key together identify the process. See: CreateProcess.

Note: You can pass #SYNCH as the itemkey to create a forced synchronous process. See: Forced Synchronous Processes.

aname	The internal name of the item type attribute, for SetItemAttrText(), SetItemAttrNumber(), and SetItemAttrDate().
avalue	The value for the item type attribute, for SetItemAttrText(), SetItemAttrNumber(), and SetItemAttrDate().
name	The internal name of the item type attribute, for SetItemAttrEvent().
event	The value for the item type attribute, for SetItemAttrEvent().
