The API samples are useful for understanding how to develop Java™ applications by using the Process Java API. These samples are supplied in the Developer samples section of the IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform publication library.
For more information, see Configuring the Process Development Environment.
See Running the API Samples to compile and run MainSample (a simple workflow processing application).
The supplied sample files are as follows:
Sample file name | Description |
---|---|
LaunchSample.java | Demonstrates how to open and transfer a workflow definition file. |
LockReportSample.java | Demonstrates how to log the work object number and user information for locked work objects. |
Logger.java | A helper class. Provides reusable logging functions for the other sample files. |
LogSample.java | Illustrates how to write the VWLog record information to a file. |
LogViewer.java | Demonstrates how to create a log-viewing tool. |
MainSample.java | Demonstrates how to develop a simple application in a modular fashion. This application is a top-level application that calls main functions in the other sample files. These sample files create and start a workflow definition, complete the steps, and write the history information to a log file. |
MilestoneHelper.java | A helper class. Provides reusable milestone display-related methods that are referenced by some of the sample classes. |
MilestoneSample.java | Reports milestone definitions in various workflows of a queue. |
OperationsHelper.java | A helper class. Provides reusable methods for creating and reporting on operations on a queue. |
OperationsSample.java | Creates operations on a queue and reports configuration information for all operations that are defined on a queue. |
ProcessSample.java | Illustrates how to log process information. |
QueueHelper.java | A helper class. Provides reusable queue-specific methods, which are referenced by some of the sample classes. |
QueueSample.java | Displays contents of workflow queues. |
RosterHelper.java | A helper class. Provides reusable roster-specific methods, which are referenced by some of the sample classes. |
RosterSample.java | Demonstrates how to write the contents of a roster to a log file. |
SessionHelper.java | A helper class. Provides reusable session-specific logon and logoff session methods that are referenced by some of the sample classes. |
StepProcessorSample.java | Retrieves a step element from a queue, sets the comments, displays the step information, and completes the step. |
SysConfigSample.java | Illustrates how to create a queue, exposed field, and an index. |
SystemStepHelper.java | A helper class. Provides reusable methods for building workflows with system steps. |
SystemStepSample.java | Creates and starts a workflow with system steps. |
UserInfoSample.java | Demonstrates how to retrieve and display user information. |
WFDefinitionSample.java | Demonstrates how to create and save a workflow definition file. |
WorkPerformerSample | Illustrates how to create a custom workflow processing application (also called a work performer) that polls a queue and dispatches work items. |
