OR_APPROVAL_STEP
          Approval step where any of the performers can approve/reject an entry/entries before it can move to the next step.
SUCCESS_STEP
          If an entry/entries reach the Success step in a workflow the system attempts to check the entry/entries into the source container(catalog or hierarchy) of the collaboration area of this workflow.
WAIT_STEP
          Allows users to modify attributes of an entry/entries.

Enum Constant Detail

FAILURE_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type FAILURE_STEP
If an entry/entries reach the Failure Step in Workflow, the system removes the entry/entries from the collaboration area.


INITIAL_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type INITIAL_STEP
Present as the first step in a workflow, and there is one instance of an Initial step per Workflow.


SUCCESS_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type SUCCESS_STEP
If an entry/entries reach the Success step in a workflow the system attempts to check the entry/entries into the source container(catalog or hierarchy) of the collaboration area of this workflow.


AND_APPROVAL_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type AND_APPROVAL_STEP
Approval step where all the performers must approve/reject an entry/entries before it can move to the next step.


OR_APPROVAL_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type OR_APPROVAL_STEP
Approval step where any of the performers can approve/reject an entry/entries before it can move to the next step.


DISPATCH_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type DISPATCH_STEP
The step allows users to decide which next step should be taken.


MODIFY_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type MODIFY_STEP
Allows users to modify attributes of an entry/entries. When the step is created the "Reserved to Edit" flag is set by default.


WAIT_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type WAIT_STEP
Allows users to modify attributes of an entry/entries. When the step is created the "Reserved to Edit" flag is set by default.


GENERAL_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type GENERAL_STEP
This step causes an entry/entries to wait in this step. It is used in conjunction with timeout, for example to check in entries to the source container at a specific date.


AUTOMATED_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type AUTOMATED_STEP
This step does not require any action from the user to proceed.


MAKE_UNIQUE_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type MAKE_UNIQUE_STEP
When an entry or entries enter the step, remove every other copy of the entry/entries from other branches of the workflow. This usually happens following a split, which is where there are several next steps associated with a single exit value.


MERGE_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type MERGE_STEP
To merge the entries coming out of several steps after a split.


CONDENSER_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type CONDENSER_STEP
This step is used in front of a merge step to reduce the number of paths into a merge step. You achieve this by having several steps pointing to the condenser.


INTERIM_CHECKOUT_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type INTERIM_CHECKOUT_STEP
This step is used to undo the changes done to attribute values in this workflow. It performs a checkout, which will re-fetched the attribute values from the source container (catalog or hierarchy).


INTERIM_CHECKIN_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type INTERIM_CHECKIN_STEP
This step saves any changes done to attribute values in this workflow back to the source container (catalog or hierarchy), then moves the entry or entries onto the next step in the workflow.


NESTED_WORKFLOW_STEP

public static final WorkflowStep.Type NESTED_WORKFLOW_STEP
This step is used to include another workflow as a step. The exit values for this step are the same as the termination exit values for the included nested workflow.


FIXIT

public static final WorkflowStep.Type FIXIT
This step is a special step used to repair entries. A user can send an entry or entries directly from any step in the workflow to the Fixit step for not satisfying a condition.

Method Detail

values

public static final WorkflowStep.Type[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for(WorkflowStep.Type c : WorkflowStep.Type.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static WorkflowStep.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
