Configuring Service Action Response State and Status Transitions

For completion events and exceptions returned by the activation system, you can configure state and status transitions.

To configure state and status transitions:

  1. In the Activation Task editor Response Data tab, select an event or exception from the Event/Exception field.

    Predefined default states and status transitions appear in the Transition to State and Status area.

  2. Click the Add button.

    The State/Status Selection dialog box is displayed.

  3. In the Condition Name field, enter a name for the transition.

  4. Select the State or Status option.

    If you select State, select a user-defined state. If you select Status, select a predefined task status. See "About Task States and Statuses" and "Assigning Task States and Statuses" for more information.

  5. Click OK.

    Design Studio adds the new transition to the table.

  6. (Optional) Select a transition row and click Move Up or Move Down to change the order of the transitions.

    The order in which they appear in the table determines the order in which OSM evaluates the conditions at run time.

  7. Select a transition row and click Properties.

    The Properties view for the state/status transition is displayed.

  8. In the Condition field, define an XPath expression to define the conditions under which the transition occurs.

    See "Properties State/Status Transition View" for more information about defining conditions.

  9. Click Save.
