Traversal Paths and Result Sets
Process models can be considered a set of model elements (e.g.
models, process definitions, activities) linked by associations (e.g.
activities of a process definition, data of a model or processes invoked
by activities of a process definition). Some of the associations are
hierarchical (e.g. activities of a process definition), some of them are
non-hierarchical (e.g. activities performed by a role).
Any data set on the Stardust Process Model data source returns
tuples of fields (e.g. name, ID, description) of a set model element of
the same type (e.g. process definition, data or activity). To specify
the set of model elements, a traversal path has to be specified.
Each traversal path starts at a virtual <ROOT>
element whose sole association is the model versions-association.
The traversal path
<ROOT> - Model Versions - Model - Process Definitions - Process Definition - Starting Role - Role
retrieves all roles starting processes.
To view or move the elements in the traversal path:
- In the Data Explorer view expand Data
Sets.
- Right-click the data set and select Edit.
- In the Edit Data Set dialog select Select
Traversal Path.
Traversal Filter Parameters
Each association traversal step may contain a filter. These
filters can be populated by report parameters or other variables.
Filter Expressions
Filter Expressions can be provided as regular expressions.
The most simple filter is a string constant as shown in the
following screenshot:
Editing Parameters
To edit a filter expression select the Edit
button on the right side of the dialog.
The Edit Parameter dialog opens, where you can
enter the appropriate values, like:
- Name
- Data Type
- Direction
- Default Value
- Linked to Report Parameter
Adding Parameters
You can add custom parameters by clicking the New...
button on the right side of the dialog. Enter the appropriate values.
