Introduction

This is a process tool plugin to allow one to iterate through records/assignments to execute process tool plugin. When iterating through individual record/assignment, the target process tool will be set to record/assigment context. This enables the use of hash variables under the correct context.

There are 2 plugins in this bundle to cater to different use cases.

  1. Iterator Process Tool (Record)

If the records loaded are activity instances, please use the latter.

A plugin named "Database Query Process Tool" is also bundled together as utility for loading records.

  • For correct parsing of hash variable, replace # with $$ in your plugin for parsing to take place in correct context.
    • EXAMPLE - Assignment mode, use $$form.request.name$$.
    • EXAMPLE - Record mode, use $$form.request.name[@recordId@]$$.
