Add BPM Interfaces

The fifth step in creating a BPM flow chart is to create the necessary interfaces.

BPM Interface

Create a form interface to the XXXX_MYDOCSTATS form. Changes in the BPM chart will update the form using this interface.

  1. Open the Form Load Designer.
  2. In the Load Name column, write the name of the interface: “BPMPRIV_MYBPM”, where “PRIV_MYBPM” is the name of the STATUSTYPE.
  3. In the Load Table column, write “GENERALLOAD”.
  4. In the Record Size column, specify “500” (this should be large enough).
  5. Enter the Forms to be Downloaded sub-level form.
  6. In the Form Name column, write “XXXX_MYDOCSTATS”.
  7. In the Code (Record Type) column, write “1”.

Note: You don’t need to fill in the Link Form Cols to Load Tbl Cols form (a sub-level of the Forms to be Downloaded form), as this form will be filled in automatically when you run the BPM procedure.

Update Status/Assigned User

The STATUSMAIL interface is used by the BPM to change the status and assigned user of the XXXX_MYDOC form.

  1. In the Form Load Designer, write the name of the interface in the Load Name column: “STATUSMAILPRIV_MYBPM”, where “PRIV_MYBPM” is the name of the STATUSTYPE.
  2. In the Load Table column, write “GENERALLOAD”.
  3. In the Record Size column, specify “500” and flag the Ignore Warnings column.
  4. Enter the Forms to be Downloaded sub-level form.
  5. In the Form Name column, write “XXXX_MYDOC”.
  6. In the Code (Record Type) column, write “1”.

  7. Enter the Link Form Cols to Load Tbl Cols sub-level form, and create three records, indicating the following Load Table Column, Form Column Name and Order, respectively:

    INT1, MYDOC, 1

    TEXT1, OWNERLOGIN, 2

    TEXT2, STATDES, 3

    where:

    • MYDOC is the Form Column Name of the column in the XXXX_MYDOC form that contains the autounique key of the XXXX_MYDOC table.
    • OWNERLOGIN is the Assigned to column in the XXXX_MYDOC form.
    • STATDES is the Form Column Name of the column in the XXXX_MYDOC form that contains the status description.

The next step is to create the procedure for the BPM chart.
