CommerceBusinessProcessManager

public class BusinessProcessManager
extends GenericService
implements BusinessProcessConstants

This class provides the public API for maintaining business process markers.

Each business process has a name and a predefined list of stages, which are used for adding, removing, or testing for business process markers. The business process name is used as the marker key, and the business process stage is used as the marker value.

An example business process might be one that defines a commerce site's purchase process. The name could be "PurchaseProcess", and the stages may be, BrowsedCatalog, AddItemToCart, ViewedShippingInfo,.... Checkout.

Each business process is defined by a configuation component. The configuration component encapsulates the properties and configurations of a business process such as, the business process name, the stage names, the duplication mode for adding markers, etc.

This BusinessProcessManager class handles all business processes that have a configuration of type atg.markers.bp.ItemBasedProcessConfiguration.

When creating a configuration component for a business process that is based on (will mark) the current session profile, use the class atg.markers.bp.ProfileBasedProcessConfiguration, which is an extension of atg.markers.bp.ItemBasedProcessConfiguration. ProfileBasedProcessConfiguration provides automatic defaults for marking profiles using the ProfileMarkerManager.

To define a new business process, create a new business process configuration component and add it to the businessProcessConfigurations property of the BusinessProcessManager component.

When adding a business process marker, the marked item must be updated by calling repository.updateItem(item). If the caller does not provide an item to be marked, the BusinessProcessManager will get the item from the configuration component. After adding or removing the marker, the BusinessProcessManager will automatically call updateItem.
If the caller provides the item to be marked, the caller must also call updateItem.

                                              MarkerException

Use this method to remove business process markers. All markers that match the parameter values are removed.

If an item is provided in pItem, the caller is responsible for doing the updateItem.

If an item is not provided, the item returned by the BusinessProcessConfiguration is used and updateItem is called automatically.

If pMarkerPropertyName is not provided, the markerPropertyName returned by the BusinessProcessConfiguration is used.

All markers that match are removed. For a match to be successful, all the marker properties must match the parameter values provided. Use null for a parameter value if the associated property was originally created with null. For string properties that are not null but should not be included in the match, use the atg.markers.MarkerConstants.ANY_VALUE token string. This string indicates that the property can be any value for a successful match.

If the extended properties map is null then none of the extended properties will be included in the match.

For instance, using ANY_VALUE for pBusinessProcessStage will remove all markers for the given business process name.

Parameters:

pItem - the item that contains the business process markers. if null, the item defined by the business process is used.

pBusinessProcessName - becomes the marker key.

pBusinessProcessStage - becomes the marker value.

pData - the marker data

pMarkerPropertyName - the property name on the pItem that contains the collection of markers.

pExtendedProperties - the marker extended properties

Returns:

the number of markers removed

Throws:

BusinessProcessException

MarkerException
