case locking
1. what is case locking ?
2. How many types of case locking
3. How to do case locking ?
4. We have a flow with two assignments (Optimistic locking)
First assignment – Customer details
Second assignment – Vehicle details.

Two operator opened Customer details assignment, Filling form

I. Operator 1 has filled the Form at 7:30 AM and click on submit

II. Operator 2 has filled the form at 7:31 and click on submit
 The submit action of operator 1 to get completed, will take 5 minutes.

Now what happens to operator 2, submit action?

A. Displays Lock issue.

5. Two operator opened Customer details assignment, filling form

III. Operator 1 has filled the Form at 7:30 AM and click on submit
IV. Operator 2 has filled the form at 7:35 and click on submit

The submit action of operator 1 to get completed, will take 4 minutes.

Operator 1, customer details got stored into “Work Table”.

Now what happens to operator 2, submit action and data submitted by

Operator 2?

i. Operator 2 will not be facing lock issue

ii. Data submitted by operator 2 is not going to store into table,
because the customer details assignment has already been
completed by Oprator1.
First operator has completed the assignment. PRPC displays a screen
saying assignment completed and displays a refresh button.

18. We have a process flow and sub flow as described below.
Process Flow
A1  SubProcess A2(Routedto – User1)
Subflow
A2(Routed to – Manager1)
On sub process we have selected SPIN OFF OPTION.

After we executed process flow, submit assignment ONE, Sub flow assignment and
A2 of process flow bother have been created and routed to Above Operators.

Both have logged in , trying to open the assignment, will they be able to parallel
work on it? Or not? What is the reason?
A: Not able to work on parallel, because of default locking.

19. We have a process flow with 5assignments user inputs the data in all 5screens.if
validation of 5th screen is successfully done then only all the data from beginning of
the flow till last screen should be stored in to the db.if validation fails the data of
the all the flows should not stored in to the table.
How to achieve this?

20.can we call a connector rule in screen flow if so how if not why?

21.In a screen flow I want to save all the assignment data at the end of the screen flow.

4. Difference between Connect REST And Connect SOAP?
5. In case of REST, We do not create Data conversion rules like, Converting from

this?
A.

While consuming rest service, we are not required to create Steaming and
Parse rules for JSON. These techniques are OOTB implemented and available.

This will be done by calling internal Java APIs

 AdoptJSONObject() and getJSON() API calls.
