Question
How to identify invoking source/activity
Hi I have an activity, its being called from so many places/sources(activities, UI on change etc..)
Now I need to know from where this activity was invoked. (Mainly class name and Rule name)
Below is code snippet which is working fine, if this was called from activity. I am looking for any other better options.
PRStackFrame pRSF=tools.getStackFrame().getPrevious(); //is the current step holder
//Identifiying the previous activity step which is call of this activity.
while(pRSF!=null){
pRSF=pRSF.getPrevious();
if(pRSF!=null && pRSF.getType().toString().equals("ACTIVITY_STEP")){
break;
}
}
if(pRSF!=null){
tools.putParamValue("FinalValue",pRSF.getLabelVariable(0));
}
Lets say, I have a an activity which can post information to downstream application by calling a stored procedure.
This activity has to send work item snapshot in everty transaction.
Examples: sla agent changes urgency, workitem is reassigned, workitem is resolved. suspeneded, etc..
so in all the above places we are calling that posttodownstreamactivity. so it has somany references. some times its failing. so we wanted to log the failure and wanted to know in which path its failing.
so in runtime we need to know the calling activity of this. for logging/emailing based on that.
I need to know in run time, not on tracing it.
something like I need to send an email to different dls, based on from where its called. if my activity is invoked from a, I need to send email to Proprietary information hidden
if its invoked from b, I need to sent to Proprietary information hidden
my handling is different based on the context of calling acitivity.
i tried and its working perfectly fine.
I followed below steps.
Created a function with below java code and property set to param the out come.
Hi Chiranjeevi, its something simler to my way. I didn't try function. but will move my code to that. thanks for sharing this approach too.
as far as I understand there is no easy way/some context params to identify that. we need to write a piece of code with iteration.
