SBM Orchestration Guide → Orchestration Tutorial → Step 2: Create a Synchronous Pre-Transition Orchestration Workflow
Prerequisites:
You completed the steps in the process app tutorial (see the SBM Composer Guide) and Step 1: Create an Orchestration.
In this exercise, you use the Action Wizard to create the SynchBefore orchestration. SynchBefore is a synchronous pre-transition orchestration workflow. When SynchBefore is invoked from Submit transition, it updates (adds text to) the Title box of the transition page before the page loads.
To create a pre-transition orchestration workflow with reply:
The Action Wizard asks, "Which type of action do you want to execute?"
The Action Wizard asks, "When do you want to call the orchestration workflow?"
You do not do anything in the Step 2 box, which reads "Invoke an orchestration workflow and wait for reply (synchronous), before this transaction occurs".
The Action Wizard asks, "Which orchestration workflow do you want to call?"
You do not do anything in the Step 2 box, which still reads "Invoke an orchestration workflow and wait for reply (synchronous), before this transaction occurs".
You do not do anything in the Step 2 box, which now reads "Invoke an orchestration workflow and wait for reply (synchronous), before this transaction occurs, Call MyOrchWFWR | If form is invalid, don't rerun this service."
A new icon appears next to the transition name in the application workflow editor indicating that an action is associated with the transition. The action is also listed on the Actions tab of the Property Editor.
In addition, in App Explorer, under the MyOrch heading, SynchBefore appears under Orchestration Workflows, and MyOrchWFWR appears under the MyApp heading, under Orchestration Links.
For more information about creating expressions, see About the Expression Editor.
SynchBefore\EventNoticeWithReply\Extension\Title appears in the Source elements column.
