BeginCheckpoint system function

Use the BeginCheckpoint system function to save the current values in the work item's data fields. The Process Engine retains these values until an EndCheckpoint or RollbackCheckpoint executes.

To define a BeginCheckPoint system function

  1. Place a system step on the workflow map where you want to begin checkpoint processing.
  2. In the Properties pane under Available Functions, select Checkpoint - BeginCheckpoint, then click the right arrow to move it to the Selected Functions column.

The BeginCheckpoint system function has no parameters.

   

For an overview of checkpoint processing see About checkpoint processing.

For placement guidelines for BeginCheckpoint and EndCheckpoint system functions see Guidelines for using checkpoint processing.
