This section lists key event and action elements that ATG Content Administration adds to the default set of workflow elements provided with the Adaptive Scenario Engine. You can add any of these elements to an ATG Content Administration workflow through the ACC workflow editor. For examples, see the default workflows in the Workflow > Publishing > Content Administration > Project folder in the ACC.
The workflow actions in the following table are extensions of the class atg.epub.workflow.process.action.PublishingAction. Workflow events are implementations of the JMS messaging system. For general information on workflow architecture, see the ATG Personalization Programming Guide.
Event Elements
Event | Description |
|---|---|
Wait for Deployment to Complete | Listens for an event message Parameters: Specify a target or select On Any Target. |
Wait for Project to Complete | Listens for an event message Sample workflow: Edit Asset. |
Action Elements
Event | Description |
|---|---|
Abandon Project | Used to abandon deployment of the current project, and often follows a Reject outcome for a deployment review task of some kind. Deployment does not occur, and the workflow ends. The project is not deleted; an administrator needs to delete the project manually if required. For an example, see the Early Staged workflow. |
Approve Project for All Targets. | Ensures that: The project is checked in. No conflict exists between the assets in the project and the base version of the assets. This element is used in deployment models that let you delay deployment rather than deploying immediately. Sample workflow: Standard |
Approve and Deploy Project | Performs the same checks as the Approve Project for All Targets action, then immediately deploys the project’s assets to the specified targets. Sample workflow: Late Staged |
Approve and Deploy Project to All Targets | The same as the Approve and Deploy Project action, except that it applies to all configured targets. Sample workflow: Standard |
Check Assets Are Up to Date | Compares the working version of the assets in the project with the base version (the currently checked-in version). If any consistencies are found, the system generates a message prompting the user to resolve the conflict. See the ATG Content Administration Guide for Business Users for more information on asset conflict resolution. Sample workflow: Any of the default workflows in the in the ACC, Workflow > Publishing > Content Administration > Project folder |
Check In Project | Checks in all resources associated with the current project, thereby creating checked-in versions of assets from the working versions in the project. Sample workflow: Any of the default workflows in the in the ACC, Workflow > Publishing > Content Administration > Project folder |
Clone Project | Used exclusively by the Edit Asset process workflow as part of the internal procedure for managing projects; it clones assets from the previous project associated with a process to the current project, creating working versions of those assets. Usually you do not add this element to any of the project workflows. |
Complete Process | Used by the process workflow to indicate that the current process is complete and cannot be modified. |
Complete Project | Indicates that the current project is complete. For an example, For an example, see any of the project-level workflows. .See the ATG Content Administration Guide for Business Users for more information. Sample workflow: Any project workflow |
Create Process Data | Specifies process data type. |
Create Project | Used by the process workflow to start and instance of the project workflow. Sample workflow: Edit Assets |
Declare | Used to declare an asset placeholder. For more information, see Using Asset Placeholders. |
Delete Process | Used by the process workflow to close the process and prevent further modifications. Sample workflow: Edit Assets |
Delete Project | Terminates the workflow, and ends the project without checking in the workspace. Typically this action is available only before the project reaches the deployment stage. For an example, see any of the project workflows |
Hide Project | Hides the current project from the specified deployment target, preventing it from being deployed. |
Revert Assets | Reverts deployment of the project’s assets to the specified target. Note that the reversion does not happen immediately but occurs with the next |
Revert Assets Immediately | Schedules an immediate reversion of the deployment of the project’s assets to the specified target. |
Revert Assets on All Targets | The same as Revert Assets, but it applies to all targets defined for deployment |
Revert Assets on All Targets Immediately | The same as Revert Assets Immediately, but it applies to all targets defined for deployment. |
Send Task Notification | Sends an email message to the recipients you specify – the owner of the current task, the permitted actors, the owner or permitted actors, or the last actor. In this case, Actors refers to anyone who has access rights to the task. This element is defined by the
Use the Send Notification action to send email messages outside the context of a task. |
