What is the difference between edit-input and editvalidate rules?

What is the difference between edit-input and edit-validate rules?

Edit-validate :edit-validate rule is used to validate property value using

java code.

Edit- input : edit -input rule converts user entered data into required
format.
HOW TO TRACE AN AGENT?

Goto-->SMA--> Agent Mgmt-> select agent which u want to trace--> delay it

open request mgmt and select that, which 4th column showing waiting mess..

select n

trace it

what is the use of Authenticate and May Start check boxes?

If May Start check box is selected means the activity can executed on its own .if it is not
selected activity is should be called by other activity.

Authenticate means when the external user is trying to access the activity if check box is
selected he has to be a authenticate user with PRPC credentials. If it is unchecked any one can
access the activity.

What is the difference between work basket and work list?.

Work List :Work list contains the tasks assigned to the individual Person

Work Basket: Work Basket will contain the Tasks assigned to the group of individuals in

the project..
What is the difference between Implementation Layer and Framework Layer?

Framework Layer consist generic rules which represents the base structure of an
application.

 Framework layer rules can be reused in implementation rules.

Implementation Layer consists of specific rules to an implementation.

Implementation layer can reuse All the Enterprise, Division and Framework layer rules.
In which scenario we can use Screen Flow and Sub Flow ?

ANS: Best example for screen flow is filling the application form which consists of several pages, each page
is dependent on the other pages.. if a user is in 6th page and would like traverse to 3 page it is done using
screen flows only.. thru screen flows we collect all information and this collected information is given to work
object finally...
SUB FLOW: It is to reduce complexity, here we cant traverse once the it is submitted we cannot go back.

What is the importance of prerequisite Rule set?

ANS: Before

creating a rule sets we need to use prerequisite rule set. We

have to use this rule set as a service(like header file) which contains all
services.

PRPC Interview Questions

Posted on March 6, 2014 by Rahman

1.

1. Differentiate Obj-browse, Obj-List-view

Obj-browse:
1. Better performance
2. Selects list of records based on exposed columns as where clause
3. Doesnt have joins
4. Create it wherever required
Obj-List-View
1. Less performance when compared to Obj-Browse
2. Selects list of records based on exposed columns as where clause
3. Has joins
4. One time creation and call wherever required

2.

Difference between Obj-List-View and Obj-Summary-View

ListView
1. Pagination: Listview has pagination

SummaryView
1. Doesnt have pagination
2. Has Group By
3. We can drill down through report
4. can call ListView, Summaryview from SummaryView report
5. Can perform Aggregate function operations like Count, Count Distinct,
Sum, Average, Max, Min
6. Thresholds-If this summary view rule is to present an interactive chart
and you want the chart to include color-coded ranges, define them here.
7. We have chart functionality
3.
What is the use of pyDefault model
We can specify in process tab of flow form so that when work object creates
it will apply default values to work objects. It is used as constructor in Java
to initialize work objects.
4.

How do you set privilege for flow action

We do have 2 methods to set privilege. More can exist as well.

First method:Specify When rule in Security tab of flow action form.

In that when rule we can give condition based on access group
Second method: Specifying class group
5.
Difference between forke and decision shape
Forke is used to implement simple when rules where as decision shape is
used to implement decision table and decision trees.
6.

How to create a screen flow

1. To make a screen flow, create a new flow rule and select ScreenFlow in
the Template field.

2. A screen flow rule cannot be a starter flow rule. Use a regular flow to
create the work object. Then call the screen flow as a subflow.
3. The standard harness rule Work-.Perform ScreenFlow is by default used
to present the assignments in a screen flow rule. You can override this rule;
the standard harness rules Work-.Tabbed ScreenFlow and
Work-.TreeNavigation provide alternative presentations.
4. A screen flow rule must have at least one task marked as entry point.
Typically, screen flow rules have multiple tasks marked as entry points;
these are places in the flow that a user can return to using the Back button.
5. A screen flow can operate on a temporary work object, one that is never
saved to the database.
7.

Differentiate screenflow and a standard flow

Screenflow
1. Cannot be a starter flow
2. Only One operator is involved (cannot route to other operators)
Standard Flow
1. Can be a starter flow
2. More than one operators can be involved

8.

Name a few types of flows and uses

1. A flow rule that contains no assignments, and so can execute from start
to end without human input, is known as a straight-through process.
2. A flow rule that consists only of assignments or decisions and meets
other criteria is known as a screen flow.
3. A flow that creates a new work object is called a starter flow.
4. A flow that is called by another flow is known as a subflow; the calling
flow is called parent flow. Processing of a subflow is synchronous, meaning
that the calling flow execution pauses for the duration of the subflow. When
the subflow execution reaches a Flow End shape, the calling flow can
continue (if additional tasks are present).

Types of flow action

A flow action is a choice available to users as an interim or final disposition
of an assignment they process. Each flow action is defined by an instance of
the Rule-Obj-FlowAction rule type.
Flow actions are of two types: 1. Connector flow actions appear as lines
on Visio presentation in the Diagram tab of a flow rule. A line exits from an
assignment shape and ends at the next task in the flow. At runtime, users
choose a connector flow action, complete the assignment, and advance the
work object along the connector to the next task.
2. A local flow action, when selected at runtime, causes the assignment to
remain open and on the current users worklist. Local flow actions are
recorded in the Assignment Properties panel and are not visible on the
Visio flow diagram.
For example, consider an application that supports workflows for employee
recruiting. When performing an assignment that requires the employee to
assess the quality of a candidate (based on a resume and application form),
the employee records his judgments and reasons in the application, and
then chooses one of three flow actions labeled Advance, Reject, and
MoreInfo. These flow actions may require different input fields and may
use different form displays.
When creating a flow that includes connector flow actions, developers can
associate a likelihood value or percentage between 1 and 100 for each.
Typically this is a before-the-fact opinion about the estimated percentage of
times users are expected to choose that flow action at runtime.
10. How do you refer a clipboard page from Java Step in an activity?
In activity steps, myStepPage is the object of class ClipboardPage. It refers
to the page that was defined as the step page for that particular step.
We can use something like:
tools.getActive().getParentPage()
11.

px, py and pz what are these prefixes meant

Standard property names are prefixed with px , py , or pz . Your property

names must not start with these prefixes. The table below describes each of
these prefixes.
px : Computed properties that users may see on a form, but users cannot
directly enter or change values (such as pxCreateDateTime).
py : Properties that users can enter or change with direct input (such as
pyDescription).
pz : Properties that are reserved for internal use (such as pzInsKey). Users
cannot see, enter, or change pz properties.
12.

how to create work parties from an activity?

We can use
work- addWorkObjectParty
