tBonitaInstantiateProcess Standard properties

Schema and Edit Schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

The schema of this component is read-only. You can click Edit schema to view the schema.

In this component the schema is related to the Module selected.

Global Variables

ProcessInstanceUUID: the identifier number of the process instance being created. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string. It can also be retrieved over the Row>Main output link.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.
