Including custom stages in pipelines

To add a custom stage to a pipeline, simply add a new stage as usual and make settings in the Busines Objects > [Business Object name] > Methods > [Method name] > [Stage] > Properties window as required for your custom stage. See Working with method pipeline stages.

To add a custom stage to a pipeline

  1. Add a custom stage (see Working with method pipeline stages).
  2. Add a method to a business object. Make the following settings:
    Data Source

    Set this to custom stage set that you want to use

    Click on the ellipsis button here to select the specific stage you want to use.

  3. To add an XML mapping, click Mapping.
  4. Click OK.

The custom stages defined in the .mod file and the custom stages defined in the application .jar files must be the same. Therefore, if you add a new stage – either to the .mod file or to one of the .jar files – you must also remember to append the.jar / .mod file. The .jar files have the following location:

...\Application\extensions\<custom-stages-X.X.X>.jar

For complete details about the custom stages included with your application, see its accompanying documentation.
