The DelegateActivity command is only available when an engine is current. Use the FindEngine Script command to set the current engine.
The DelegateActivity command is used to hand off the work associated with an offered activity to someone else: one or more delegated users. The delegated activity must be in READY or ACTIVE state before the DelegateActivity command is used. If the activity is in ACTIVE state, any open attributes are updated as necessary, the accessor is closed, and the activity’s state is changed to READY. The activity is then offered to sessions as permitted by the delegation assignment rule.
NOTE The state parameter is used to confirm that the current state of the activity is what you expect when you issue the DelegateActivity command. If the state has changed, the engine does not execute the command.
The user_name and other_info arguments must be supplied if required by the delegation assignment rule. For example, if a delegation rule named “ManagerOf” looks for the manager of the delegator, then the delegator’s user name and other info (in this case the manager’s name) would be passed to the ManagerOf assignment rule. This behavior is similar in functionality to the linked activity mechanism described in the iIS Process Development Guide.
Once the delegated user has completed (or aborted) the activity, process execution continues as specified in the process definition.
