Maintenance of Execution Properties

Background Processing

Set this indicator if the object method does not necessitate dialog with a user, and the processing is to be started automatically by the system.

If this indicator is set, the task is executed at runtime as a background work item as soon as it is its turn in the sequence. No work item appears in the Business Workplace. You can, however, find a background work item via the work item selection.

If this indicator is not set, a dialog work item appears in the Business Workplaces of the recipients. If this work item is executed by one of its recipients, the object method is executed in the background without any further dialog.

Business objects: You cannot set this indicator for business objects.

Business object service classes: This indicator is always set for business object service classes.

Confirm end of processing

Confirm end of processing If this indicator is set, the end of processing of the task must be confirmed explicitly at runtime. After execution of a task, a dialog box is displayed in which you enter whether the processing of the task has actually been completed. For example, you can still enter an attachment before you complete the work item.

As long as this confirmation has not taken place, the relevant work item appears in the Business Workplace of the actual agent and has the status Executed. This can execute the work item again or forward it. This may be useful if a task is to be processed several times and by different people.

The Confirm end of processing property can be assigned both to task that do have terminating events and to those that do not. If there are terminating events, the relevant work item must be completed using the function Set to 'Done' in the Business Workplace.

Business objects: This indicator is always set for business objects.

Business object service classes: You cannot set this indicator for business object service classes.
