5.7.2 How to use Automatic Operation Window URL Creation Plugin parts

You can use Automatic Operation Window URL Creation Plugin parts to:

Display a window in which the user can view the status of a task and detailed task information
Execute a JP1/AO service at a specific date and time

The following describes how to use Automatic Operation Window URL Creation Plugin parts to achieve each of these objectives.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Displaying a window that shows the task status and detailed task information
(2) Executing a JP1/AO service at a specific date and time

(1) Displaying a window that shows the task status and detailed task information

Place an Automatic Operation Service Execution Plugin part in the guide area.
In the guide area for the next node, place an Automatic Operation Window URL Creation Plugin part.
To an inline frame part in the guide area, connect an output parameter that outputs the URL of the window that displays the task status.

We recommend that you set the size of the inline frame part to a minimum of 400 pixels wide and 80 pixels high.
Connect an output parameter that outputs the URL for the Task Details dialog box to a hyperlink part placed in the guide area.

Important

The contents of the window whose URL is output relates to the last service executed by the Automatic Operation Service Execution Plugin.
In Operational Content where an Automatic Operation Service Execution Plugin is executed multiple times, design the Operational Flow so that the flow cannot return to a previous step. If the flow can return to a previous step, the window generated by the plugin might output the URL for a window that displays information for the wrong task.

(2) Executing a JP1/AO service at a specific date and time

Place an Automatic Operation Window URL Creation Plugin part in the guide area.
Connect an output parameter that outputs a JP1/AO URL to a hyperlink part.
To display user-input values in the Submit Service dialog box, connect the following Guide Parts to the input parameters of the Automatic Operation Window URL Creation Plugin part:
- Static-text part
  
  The displayed string is passed to the Plugin Part.
- Text box part
  
  The initial value or the string entered by the user is passed to the Plugin Part.
- Radio button part
  
  The value of the selected button in the radio button group is passed to the Plugin Part. If no radio button is selected, an empty character string is passed to the Plugin Part.
- Drop-down part
  
  The value corresponding to the selected list entry is passed to the Plugin Part.
The values received from these Guide Parts provide the property values used when displaying the Submit Service dialog box.

If you want to use fixed values instead of user-specified values for properties in the Submit Service dialog box, set the fixed values in the Attribute Settings window.

Important: You cannot use this plugin with properties whose data type is composite.
