M412: Settings: In Order to not Forget the Next Billing, Auto-Start the Process

There are many situations where it is convenient to replicate previously used Business Data for subsequent processing, such as "monthly billing for customers" or "calling meetings of board members and creating meeting minutes". By placing an event downstream in an App which will re-trigger the process you can automatically start subsequent issues that will reuse the relevant Business Data. (Recursive Call) (Message Catch Event)

1. Overview of Cases that Automatically Restart

a. Cases where a Single Issue Flows in the Workflow

For example, at the time of sending the minutes to the board of directors, restart the process.

b. Cases where Multiple Issues Flow Simultaneously in the Workflow

For example, starting next month's billing process when sending this month's bill to each customer.

2. Design a Business Process and Release It Once

1. Design a Business Process

Design the Business Processes using [Message Start Event].

2. Release the Business Process

Release the Business Processes in order to determine the starting point ID (nodeNumber), etc.

3. Write Down the Starting Format

Display the format (API) to trigger the automatic Start and make a note of its contents.

• The Automatic Start parameter (start-up format) will be confirmed by putting the Process Model into a running state after saving the changes

3. Set up the Sending Event

a. Auto Start URL

Using variables is valid “${var[applicationRoot]}System/Event/MessageStart/123/0/start”.

b. Security Key

Specify the security key of the target [Message Start Event].

c. Business Data to be Delivered

Specify your own “reception parameter name” if necessary, and specify the value to be sent.

• ${var[applicationRoot]}System/Event/MessageStart/123/0/start
  • 123: App ID (processModelInfoId)
  • 0: starting point ID (nodeNumber).
