Developing BPM Workflow adapters : Using system adapters
 

Using system adapters

Business Process Server includes a set of predefined system Adapters that include "general purpose" adapters as well as adapters with more specific functions that allow Web Applications to perform certain BP Server-specific operations.
General purpose adapters used to interact with BP Server include:
*PAKSetDS — Transfers dataslot values from Web Applications back to their BP Server counterparts. This system adapter works internally, and you must not add specific properties to it.
*PAKGetDS — Updates the values of dataslots in Web Applications with values received from their BP Server counterparts. This system adapter works internally, and you do not need to add specific properties to it.
*PAKCreatePI — Creates a Business Process Server process instance. Use this system adapter at the end of a Web application to trigger a BPM project. For more information, see Using the PAKCreatePI adapter.
*PAKUpdateDS — Saves the state of all BP Server mapped dataslots in the current Web Application. Use this system adapter in a long application, to save information entered up to the location where you insert this adapter. This system adapter works internally, and it is not required to add specific properties to it. For more information, see Using the PAKUpdateDS adapter.
*PAKReassignWI — Enables users to reassign tasks to another performer while still remaining in the process — you must not leave the process and go to Business Process Portal to reassign a work item. For more information, see Using the PAKReassignWI adapter
