Component Property Reference

The following sections describe the properties defined in the Main Task window using the Component Implementation Type.

Properties

The following are available in the properties area. These properties are only available in Interactive Activity.
Property Description
Repeatable If true, the user is allowed to run this task more than once
Mandatory If true, the user must run this task to complete the flow object.
Read-only If true, this task cannot modify any instance variable

Component Method

Property Description
flow object Task Execution Timeout Specifies the timeout for the component call execution (minutes:seconds). After this time occurs, the engine cancels the component execution.
Use Instance Variable Indicates that the invocation of the method will be applied to the selected variable. By selecting a variable, the Component name is implied and taken from the variable type. A typical example of instance variable to use is a BPM Object instance variable
Component Name Represents the type of component to be invoked. If an instance variable is selected, this value will be filled out from the variable type and cannot be edited from here. Complete the component name or browse to choose the component within the Project Catalog. If the task corresponds to an Interactive activity, you can only select a component defined to run on the client-side

Argument Mapping If the method requires any in or out arguments, these arguments have to be mapped to instance variables or predefined variables that contain the value/s to be passed. Additionally, if you are using an instance variable (for example a BPM Object instance var) and the component updates any of the attributes within it, you need to explicitly map the BPM Object instance variable to an argument variable. For example, map the BPM Object to the currentComponentInstance variable.
