Inbox Task List Query - xCP 2.1

Hi Experts,

I am actually working on Task List Query and I hope I understand the concept behind it. With my understanding I am trying to do something that is mentioned below but wonder how I can move in that direction. Can any of you throw some light on the discussion?

Thanks in advance.

Background: I have two stateful workflows (WF1, WF2) with two process variables for each workflow as outputs and one process variable as input for each one of them. Both of the workflows will dump the tasks into a common work queue (My_WorkQueue). Please note that the process variable name is same in both the workflows.

WF1

- PV1 – Input
- PV2 – Output
- PV3 – Output
- Work Queue - My_WorkQueue

WF2

- PV1 – Input
- PV2 – Output
- PV3 – Output
- Work Queue - My_WorkQueue

Using the above mentioned configuration, I can create a Task List query depending on work queue tasks for specific workflow either WF1 or WF2 and I can define input and outputs for that query as either “Task” specific attributes or “Variables” for the selected workflow.

Requirement: My requirement is how we can display both the workflow tasks in a single Task List Query with few of the columns as Process Variables. See the table below for better understanding of my requirement.

Task Name	Assigned Date	Due Date	WorkQueue Priority	PV1	PV2
WF1_Task1	15-Aug	20-Aug	10	WF1_Task1_PV2_Value	WF1_Task1_PV3_Value
WF2_Task1	10-Aug	20-Aug	30	WF2_Task1_PV2_Value	WF2_Task1_PV3_Value
WF1_Task2	15-Aug	20-Aug	10	WF1_Task2_PV2_Value	WF1_Task2_PV3_Value
WF1_Task3	15-Aug	20-Aug	10	WF1_Task3_PV2_Value	WF1_Task3_PV3_Value
WF2_Task2	10-Aug	20-Aug	30	WF2_Task2_PV2_Value	WF2_Task2_PV3_Value
WF2_Task3	10-Aug	20-Aug	30	WF2_Task3_PV2_Value	WF2_Task3_PV3_Value

Hi,

I created 1 sample business object and added as package to 2 workflows and here are my screenshots of creating teh tasklist query model

After this step SAVE the tasklist query created and now you can see 'package' node in the dataset tab

Workaround:

Attach a BO as package for both processes and pass the PVs to BOs in your processes.

Hi Hari,

Firstly thank you very much for your response. It is really helpful. I thought deeper into it and below is my understanding. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Create BO type with all the required column names. Create BO object within process execution and do a Real Time Query on BO to display Inbox. Correct?

If my understanding is correct, I am wondering how can we navigate to inbox task page when user double clicks on BO object row in result list grid. In my BO object model design I have one attribute with TaskID which is my queue item ID that will be mapped in my process. I am just wondering how can we display task page on double clicking Business Object by user? Can you throw some light on it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You will have to use tasklist query model itself.

Now you have added BO as a package to both your process templates and you will have to create a tasklist query selecting these 2 processes in 'Filter by process' option. Now, you can see the BO package in 'Packages' node in the 'Dataset' tab and you can drag drop the attributes that you need to the output column configurations

Hi Shiv,

Thanks for the response. I think "Packages" node is only available if you select only one specific workflow in 'Filter by process' option. If more than one workflow is selected, I think only 'Task' Node is available in 'DataSet' tab. Not sure if I am missing anything here. That's the reason I am trying from Real Time Query on Business Object

Thanks.

Hi Shiv,

Thanks for your response. It worked. only step that I missed is saving task list query after adding processes. Saving task list query actually made the difference.

Thank you very much.
