Configure a Create new job activity
Use the following procedure to configure a Create new job activity.
A Create new job activity allows you to create a new job that can run independently of the job that created it.
-
Add an activity to the map.
By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.
- Change the default Name of the activity to something meaningful.
- On the Type list, select .
-
Configure the
Job type.
- To create a new job, select Create new job.
- To create a new case, select Create new case. Additionally, select a process or server variable as a Case reference.
- To create a new job in case, select Create job in case. Additionally, specify whether to create a new job in a case based on Case ref or Case ID. Then select a process or server variable as a Case identifier.
-
On the
Process list, select the required process or case.
The Initialization variables for the selected business process map/case fragment are displayed.
-
Map variables from the main process map to the parameters of the new job process map by selecting the process or
server variable as

Create a process
variable while configuring activities.
-
The variable types of the process variables must match the variable types of the initialization parameters.
-
Initialization parameters can be passed from the main map to the second (if required), but output parameters cannot be passed from the second process map back to the main map.
-
- On the Created job list, select a process or server variable to return the job ID of the created job. You can use this job ID in the parent process.
- Save the process map.
- Configure other properties for this activity. See Activity properties.
