Add Status Conditions to Orchestration Processes

Add status conditions that specify when to set the status of an orchestration process.

Assume you need an orchestration process that fulfills sales orders for company t-shirts, and you must specify the statuses that the process uses throughout the order life cycle according to the status of the fulfillment task.

You will create this status condition.

• If the status of the Schedule task is Scheduled, then set the orchestration process status to Scheduled.

Summary of the Set Up

• Set the orchestration process class.

• Add the status condition.

You typically add more than one status condition to an orchestration process. For brevity, you will add only one in this topic.

This topic uses example values. You might need different values, depending on your business requirements.
