Package wt.workflow.robots Description

Provides workflow classes responsible for the execution of robot activities that are executed without human intervention.

The Workflow Robots Package

The workflow robots package is responsible for the execution of robot activities, that is, activities that are executed without human intervention. The WfInternalMethod class encapsulates a Windchill API and causes it to be invoked when the activity start event is fired.

WfSynchRobot allows a workflow to be synchronized based on events that are emitted by Windchill services or an arbitrary Java expression.

WfTimerActivity allows a workflow to be synchronized on time.

WfExpressionRobot allows an arbitrary Java expression to be executed by the workflow engine.

WfApplicationRobot allows a parameterized command line to be executed by the

workflow engine.

Note: WfExternalMethod is not currently used.
