BMIDE Release status snapshot



Handler : create-status
Description:    Attaches the specified status type to the root task
ARGUMENTS: -status
Value: The name provided should be the name of a status type already defined in the Business Modeler IDE, not the display name.

If this argument is not supplied, the workflow process name is used.A status object is created that is not based on a status type, which means that effectivity and configuration may not work against it.


Handler : set-status
Argument:-action
Value:append

Attaches the status objects from the root task to the target objects, not impacting
any previous status objects applied to the same targets.

[other argument value for set-status handler are replace/delete/rename etc]


Important :
The differences between the create-status handler and the add-status handler are:
• The create-status handler creates a status object and attaches it to the root
task.
• The add-status handler takes the status object that is attached to the root task
and applies it to the target objects (same as the append mode for the set-status
handler.)
