Canceling a task
When canceling a task, the action code (ProcessPulseTask/DataArea/Process/ActionCriteria/ ActionExpression/@actionCode) must be Change.
This table shows the elements you must use in the noun instance (ProcessPulsetask/DataArea/PulseTask):
| Element | Note |
|---|---|
| DocumentID/ID | Use the DocumentID/ID as provided in the Acknowledge BOD when the item was created. |
| Status/Code | Use value CANCELLED. |
When processing the cancel request in the Activities engine, an Acknowledge BOD is sent in reply. If the item was canceled successfully, the actionCode of the BOD is Accepted. If the item could not be canceled, the actionCode is Rejected.
You can only cancel a task when:
- The task is open. If the user completed the task, you can no longer cancel it.
- The task is created by a
ProcessPulseTaskBOD. If the task is created by a Workflow you cannot cancel the task using aProcessPulseTaskBOD.
