Element Type Definition: TRANSITION

Oracle Designer Model, Release 6i
Element Type Definition

Element Type Name	TRANSITION
Short Name	TRA
View Name	CI_TRANSITIONS
Description	A transition connects two nodes in an activity model

	The transition from one node to another (eg from an event to an
	activity) may be constrained by a guard, ie a rule that must evaluate
	to true in order for the transition between the two nodes to be
	allowed

Properties
Name	Datatype	Opt ?	Notes	Domain	Default Value
ACTIVITY_SIGNATURE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	For a transition associated with an activity, indicates whether activity usages based on the activity should be associated with a new transitions equivalent to this one Prompt: Is Activity Signature Uppercase	YESNO	Y
AUTOMATIC_INVOCATION_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether the activity processing the message that this transition represents is to be explicitly started. If set, then EXECUTION_STRING should contain the execution string for the process Prompt: Automatic Invocation ? Uppercase	YESNO	N
CHANNEL_NAME	VARCHAR2(240)	Y	Identifies the channel that the input adapter will publish its message to, or the output adapter will subscribe to Prompt: Channel Name
CHANNEL_TYPE	VARCHAR2(5)	Y	Identifies whether the channel is a queue (single subscriber) or a topic (multiple subscribers) Prompt: Channel Type Uppercase	CHANNEL_TYPE
CREATABLE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Applicable to transitions involving object states. Indicates whether the object in that state can be created Prompt: Is Creatable Uppercase	YESNO	Y
DELETABLE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Applicable to transitions involving object states. Indicates whether the object in that state can be deleted Prompt: Is Deletable Uppercase	YESNO	Y
MESSAGING_AUDIT	VARCHAR2(12)	Y	Indicates auditing for the message carried by this transition, if different to the default auditing defined on the root process. Applies to transitions from/to leaf activities of processes for execution by BPC Prompt: Messaging Audit Uppercase	MESSAGING_AUDIT_TYPE
PRIMARY_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Applicable to transitions "to" an ACTIVITY_USAGE, where one incoming transition must be marked as primary Prompt: Is Primary Uppercase	YESNO	N
RETRIEVABLE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Applicable to transitions involving object states. Indicates whether the object in that state can be retrieved Prompt: Is Retrievable Uppercase	YESNO	Y
SEQUENCE_NUMBER	NUMBER(6, 0)	N	Sequence number of transition between same source and target. Required for uniqueness purposes to allow for more than one transition between the same source and target Prompt: Sequence Number System maintained: API provides a value only if left null by the user
SOURCE_TYPE	VARCHAR2(6)	N	Arc 79 discriminator. Internal property indicating the type of element the "source" arc is pointing at (PSE, ACT, ACTACT, ECL or OST) Not displayed Uppercase System maintained Not updatable by user	TRANSITION_END_TYPE
TARGET_TYPE	VARCHAR2(6)	N	Arc 78 discriminator. Internal property indicating the type of element the "target" arc is pointing at (PSE, ACT, ACTACT, ECL or OST) Not displayed Uppercase System maintained Not updatable by user	TRANSITION_END_TYPE
TRIGGERING_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether this input transition triggers the process. There may be other triggering input transitions, the combination of which trigger the process Prompt: Is Triggering Uppercase	YESNO	N
UPDATABLE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Applicable to transitions involving object states. Indicates whether the object in that state can be updated Prompt: Is Updatable Uppercase	YESNO	Y
PARENT_IVID	NUMBER(38, 0)	Y	Internal use only. Common repository version identifier of owning PAC Not displayed System maintained Updatable only if null Defined on SE supertype
PAC_REFERENCE	NUMBER(38, 0)	Y	Internal use only. Contains the IRID of the PAC for the "versionable object" to which this element belongs Not displayed System maintained Not updatable by user Defined on SE supertype
