Introduction

This sample demonstrates how you can dynamically assign users to human tasks. It covers how to:

• assign users to tasks using values from the input message of the task,
• assign users to tasks using values from custom properties of a tightly coupled process,
• assign users to tasks using environment variables of a tightly coupled process,
• implement the four eyes principle using a specialized people assignment criteria definition in conjunction with environment variables of a tightly coupled process.

Prerequisites

This sample relies on the federated user repository VMM (Virtual Member Manager) that is shipped with WebSphere® Process Server 7.0. Before you can run the sample, you have to ensure that the user groups sellers, approvers, and supervisors do exist on your system and that each group contains userids.

These user groups and users can be created running a command line script.

If you are using Windows (TM) and have administrator privileges for the WebSphere Application Server, then a simple command line script for adding the required groups and users may look like this:
ADDUSERS1.BAT

Similarly, these user groups and users can be deleted again after finishing this sample; a simple command line script for Windows looks like this:
DELETEUSERS1.BAT

Note that you may have to customize these command line scripts to reflect:

• your WebSphere Integration Developer installation directory;
• the port used to connect to the server;
• administrator userid and password.
