The Process Engine Extensions add classes which support process scenario definitions and simulated workflows. These classes include properties which enable you to specify a description for the scenario, configure whether events generated by the simulation are published to the Process Analyzer, and gather information about the simulated execution of the workflow.
The Process Engine Extensions provides property templates and implements custom classes, objects, and properties in the following areas throughout Enterprise Manager:
CAUTION The Process Engine Extensions provide classes and properties which support ready-to-use behavior for process simulation, including Simulation Console and Simulation Designer. The values for properties on object instances created by FileNet items that are ready for you to use without modification applications should not be modified, as changing these values could cause application behavior issues with FileNet applications and AddOn applications. In addition, the classes should not be extended by other vendor applications. The descriptions included in this section are provided for informational purposes only.
The following property templates are added by Process Engine Extensions and implemented by various feature AddOns. These templates are visible in Enterprise Manager under Domain Root > Object Stores > Object Store Name > Property Templates.
Property Template | Type | Implementations | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Publishing Enabled | Boolean |
Simulation class |
When this option is enabled (true), the events generated by the simulation are published to the Process Analyzer for analysis and report generation. |
Scenario Definition DocID | String |
Simulation class |
The document id of the scenario definition which this simulation is generated from. The value for this property can be specified as a GUID. |
Scenario Description | String |
Scenario Definition
class |
Provides a description for the scenario, which is obtained from the user when the scenario is saved. This property is not required to be queryable and can be converted to the Text type if necessary. |
Simulation Description | String |
Simulation class |
Provides a description for the simulation, which is obtained from the user when the simulation is saved. This property is not required to be queryable and can be converted to the Text type if necessary. |
Simulation GUID | String |
Simulation class |
A text string representing the unique identifier of the simulation which consists of information pertaining to the simulation, including the host name of the simulation engine and the simulation launching timestamp. |
Simulation Life Span in Hours | Integer |
Simulation class |
The length of time the simulation data remains available for use by the Simulation Animator once the simulation completes or after the last time an animation was played. The minimum value for this property is two hours. |
Simulation Status | String |
Simulation class |
The current status of the simulation which is displayed by the Process Simulation Console. |
The following subclasses are derived from the Document Class by Process Engine Extensions. These subclasses and their respective properties are visible in Enterprise Manager under Domain Root > Object Stores > Object Store Name > Document Class > Custom Subclass Name.
Subclass |
Modifiable |
Description |
---|---|---|
Scenario Definition |
No |
Defines the scenario which simulates the execution of a workflow. |
Simulation |
No |
Provides information about the simulated execution of a scenario, including a description of the corresponding scenario and the current status of the simulation. |
