Determining Siebel Email Response Process Properties

A process property is a place to store values that the workflow process retrieves from your database or obtains during or after a processing step. Process properties can be added (as input arguments) to a business service step in a workflow. When a business service process ends, the final value of a process property is available as an output argument. There are two types of process properties: configurable and nonconfigurable.

• Configurable process properties allow the administrator to control the behavior of email message processing. They are changed frequently during setup. An example is Enable Test Mode?

  Process Property Name	Default Value	Description
  Enable Test Mode?	FALSE	If the Enable Test Mode? process property is set to TRUE, the eMail Response - Process Message workflow loads a sample email message from a file, rather than a live email server, allowing the administrator to test the workflow using the Process Simulator. See Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide for more information about running the eMail Response - Process Message workflow in the Process Simulator.

  CAUTION:  Use test mode only when you run the workflow process in Process Simulator mode. It should never be used when you run the process during normal operations.

• Nonconfigurable process properties are used primarily to store variables and are rarely modified by application administrators. An example is the MsgBody process property.

  Process Property Name	Default Value	Description
  MsgBody	none	The body of the inbound email message is stored in this variable. There is no default value.
