Description​

To make changes to a workflow monitor, either the AE script functions or best4Automic can be used. In contrast to AE-Script, the module determines whether the workflow monitor needs to be stopped when the list of commands is reviewed. This means that a workflow is only stopped if it is really necessary. This distinction cannot be made with the AE script function modify_task. Furthermore, functions are provided that go beyond the possibilities offered by AE script.

The commands of this module are passed as b4A Script. The following commands are provided by the module:

  • set_breakpoint( <task name>, <consecutive number> )
  • set_breakpoint_by_runid( <RunID> )
  • release_breakpoint( <task name>, <running number> )
  • release_breakpoint_by_runid( <RunID> )
  • set_task_inactive( <task name>, <running number> )
  • set_task_inactive_by_runid( <RunID> )
  • set_task_inactive_by_alias( <task_alias> )
  • set_task_active( <task name>, <running number> )
  • set_task_active_by_runid( <RunID> )
  • set_task_active_by_alias( <task_alias> )
  • start_task_immediately( <task name>, <running number> )
  • start_task_immediately_by_runid( <RunID> )
  • add_comment( <task name>, <running number>, <comment> )
  • add_comment_by_runid( <RunID>, <comment> )
  • add_monitor( <task name>, <running number>, <monitor task>, <monitor alias>, <other run> )

A description of the format of b4A script commands can be found in the section here.
