HumanTask Deadlines Duration Issue

Jack Issac

Hi,

I'am using JDev 11.1.1.9

BPM Editor 11.1.1.9.0.1.7

SOA Composite Editor 11.1.1.9.0.99.99

I want expire task after 1 day, for that I selected Expire After from Task Duration Setting and I selected By Expression in "Deadlines" for task

Expression is

xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),'/task:task/task:payload/ns1:TestPayload/testDurationValue') and testDurationValue is getting from payload flowing this,

/task:task/task:payload/ns1:TestPayload/testDurationValue = P0Y0M1DT0H0M0S

or

/task:task/task:payload/ns1:TestPayload/testDurationValue = P1D

or

I tried direct set duration to expression like this, xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),'P0Y0M1DT0H0M0S')

but I am getting exception.

Exception is

<WorkflowServiceEngine.request> Operation 'initiateTask' failed with WorkflowException 'Error in routing slip.
Supplemental Detail	The expiration specified in the routing slip could not be evaluated. The error is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Make sure that the expiration duration is specified correctly. The value should conform to XML duration specifications. ', throwing BusinessFault with message:

Where is my fault?

Can you help solve this issue?

Thanks.

Jack.

Hi Jack,

Know how you feel.  I'm a little embarrassed to admit how many times I've screwed up setting human task deadlines.

The problem is that the human task deadline has to be a string.  In the human tasks' "Deadlines" tab, in the Task Duration Setting section, click "Expire after" in the first dropdown and "By Expression" in the second.  Simply set the XPath expression to this for the one day deadline:

     "P0Y0M1DT0H0M0S"

If you'd like to set it dynamically to a data object variable that was set upstream in the process, your XPath expression would be this:

     concat('P',/task:task/task:payload/ns1:EmployeeInfo/ns1:EmployeeSummary/ns1:Days,'DT')

Hope this helps,

Dan
