Invoking a Process When a Task Deadline Occurs

The Invoke Process action is an extension escalation provided by Active Endpoints. This action is based on an Active Endpoints provided WSDL, as described in Creating Custom Escalation Actions.

You can deploy a BPEL process to your server and then specify the service name as an escalation action. You might want to invoke a process to send an email to a user, rather than send a notification to an Inbox.

To create an invoke process action:

1. Ensure that you have deployed your BPEL process that serves as a custom escalation action.
2. In the Outline view, right mouse click on Task> Start (or Completion) Deadline>Invoke Process.
3. In the Properties view, add the service name of a BPEL file deployed to the same server where your current process will run. You can copy the service name from the ActiveVOS Server Administration Console’s Deployed Services page.
4. If desired, create an expression for task or other data you wish to pass to the called service. For example, create an expression to determine the task priority or list of potential owners.

For details on adding a condition, see Defining a Condition for an Escalation Action.
