How to update a process when it is running ?

[miniservice]

in my project ,i use the JBPM5.3 and spring ,the task server is HornetQTaskServer, i need to update a task node when the task process was running .

For this thing , i start a task process , when it go to a task node , i found that the actor which was assigned to this node was not have the auth to do this node now (such as this actor leaved from the company or be travel on official business ) . So i need to update this node to assign the other actor to do this task node.

How can i do to update this node ?

Very thank you for you help .

to do that you have several options:

• assign task to a group where you have many users that can claim and then work on the task
• use delegate operation on taskClient
• use forward operation on taskClient

personally I would recommend the first approach as it's the easiest one and clear to everyone. Once task was claimed by a person that is on vacation such task can be released by administrator and by that will be available for another user from the group to work on it

How to set the time range for the delegate ?

Such as , once i have delegated a task to a people , but when reach a certain time , i want to recover the auth from this people .

How can i do the timing task .

for that you would need to use deadlines defined on tasks so reasignment can happen after specified interval.
