The eleventh workflow puts items into a workflow task called “My first task”. The first step checks whether the urn value for workflow_11.active is true, if not, the workflow will end. If it is "true", it will move to the next step. The second step checks to see if the affected items have a Current Status of 100, or “01 New” on most systems. If it is not, then the items will not go into the task and the workflow will end. If so, it will move to the next step. The 3^rd step updates the current status of the items to 200. The 4^th step puts the item in the task.

Explanation of the steps example 11

Step	Description
0	Check whether urn is set to true.
1	Check if the CurrentStatus of item is “01 New”
NoLongerNew	Update Current Status to something else/
2	Put the item into the task "My first task"

Product 360 prerequisites for example 11

Product 360 entity	value
UserGroup	Standardusers
Ui Template	Item approve UI
Article.CurrentStatus	100

ActiveVOS Console	value
Urn:workflow_11.active	true

Info

The DQ Service “dqValueCheck-Process” is used for both DQ’s. There are 3 elements of the rule: [TYPE] | [KEY] | [VALUE] The types of comparisons are not case sensitive and are:

* Descriptor: <dqRule>Descriptor|Article.CurrentStatus|100</dqRule>

* Name: <dqRule>Name|Status|100</dqRule>

* URN value: <dqRule> URN|urn:skip.merge.task|true</dqRule>

Detailed explanation of the steps

Step 0

This step checks only whether the item is already in this workflow. If not the executed next step is 1. If yes the workflow will end because there is no next step defined.

Key	Value	Description
id	0	Identifier of the step.
entity	Article	Entity container for this workflow.
enterStatus	Never	The circumstances when an item should enter a status (task). In this case never!
dqService	dqValueCheck-Process	This DQ service is an additional bpel inside the StepWorkflow which checks whether the item is already inside this workflow or not.
dqRule	urn\|urn:workflow_11.active\|true	Checks to see if urn:workflow_11.active is “true”
nextStep	STEP:1	The item will be moved to the step with the identifier 1 if the above dq succeeds.

Step 1

This step checks to see if the Current Status is 100. If yes, the workflow will move to the next step2 defined as NoLongerNew and 2.

Key	Value	Description
id	1	Identifier of the step.
entity	Article	Entity container for this workflow.
enterStatus	Never	The circumstances when an item should enter a status (task). In this case never!
dqService	dqValueCheck-Process	This DQ service is an additional bpel inside the StepWorkflow which checks whether the item is already inside this workflow or not.
dqRule	descriptor\|Article.CurrentStatus\|100	Checks to see if Current Status is 100, or “01 New”
nextStep	STEP: NoLongerNew STEP:2	The item will be moved to the step with the identifier 1 if the above dq succeeds.

Step NoLongerNew

This step updates the Current Status field.

Key	Value	Description
id	NoLongerNew	Identifier of the step.
entity	Article	Entity container for this workflow.
updateFieldDescriptor	Article.CurrentStatus	The descriptor for the field being updated.
updateFieldValue	200	The value to update the field with.

Step 2

This step puts the affected items in the "My first Task" task.

Key	Value	Description
id	2	Identifier of the step.
entity	Article	Entity container for this workflow.
workflowStatus	My first task	Status name within the Product 360 workflow. ==> Product 360 task name = [Workflow] - [Status] - [Catalog]
description	My first workflow task	Description of the status.
workflowServiceEndpoint	StepWorkflow-Trigger	This is the service name of the partner link. This name is defined in the process deployment descriptor of the workflow.
enterStatus	Always	The circumstances when an item should enter a status (task). In this case always
userType	userGroup	Type of the default assignee of this task. In this case it will be a user.
userName	Standardusers	The service for the bpel process that will determine the user or usergroup to assign the task to.
executeDq	Never	The circumstances when a DQ should be run. In this case never!
