Workflow Wait for event - how to wait for specific event (parm etc.)???

[Zod]

Just a quick one ... if I have a wait for event condition, how to I specify the event correctly?

I mean the event might happen often, but I'm locking for one matching a specifig sys_id (for example).

Lets say I have the change request sys_id and like to wait for event "change_complete" for this specific id?

How to set the condition in the Wait Condition?

Thank you!!

Hi Zod,

AFAIK, the Wait for WFEvent activity will only trigger if the event is aimed specifically at the record which the workflow instance is attached to.

////where current is a task record with a workflow context
var w = new Workflow(); 
w.fireEvent(current, 'execute');

There is an activity called "Wait for Event w/ parameters", which looks as if it can be used in this context.
I created a business rule that sends an event (here called "some.event") and I pass the sys_id of a record stored in the scratchpad in param1 of the event.

Then, I tried this for the configuration of "Wait for Event w/ parameters":

But, alas, this does not work...

Did anybody get this (undocumented!) activity to work?

Best

Hi Daniel,

the activity works great, but the format of parameter 1 is wrong.

Type following in parameter 1:   

javascript:workflow.scratchpad.task_id

The event can be fired by (use the appropriate sys_id!)

gs.eventQueue("some.event", current, "bcbecf78dbc8c890692c70ba6896195c", null);
