Custom Conflict Management

For the Fill Forms submission, there is no conflict management by default. However, there is a basic conflict management for work items such as Approval Activity and Invoke Form Activity. The user can customize this by creating a conflict management component and registering the same in the SKAddinProviders table under the repository database.

Perform the following steps to create a custom conflict management component.

1. Create a .NET Class library project.

2. Refer the SE.Bpm.ConflictHandler.dll.

3. Create a class which implements the IConflictHandler interface. This interface has the following methods:

   • ValidateWorkItem – When this function is implemented, it validates the work item being submitted.

   • ValidateFillForm – When this function is implemented, it validates the Fill Form being submitted.

   • ResolveWorkItem – When this function is implemented, it resolves the work item, if there is a conflict.

   • ResolveFillForm – When this function is implemented, it resolves the Fill Form, if there is conflict.

   • CanResolve – When this property is implemented, it has a value indicating when the conflict can be resolved.

   • CanContinue – When this property is implemented, it has a value indicating whether the process (submission of work items or Fill Forms) can continue even if there is a conflict.

4. Build the component.

5. Place the component in a path, which is accessible to the Workflow Engine Service and Enterprise Console web application.

6. Provide the class name and the dll path in the SKAddinProviders table in the repository database.
