Change Issue Process
Both of the existing robots in this template have been converted to object event synchronization robots, and a new robot of that type has also been added:
Template
Robot
Change Issue Process
Sync on Request Association
Change Issue Process
Listen for Request Disassociation
Change Issue Process
Sync on Request Complete
The expression logic of change issue robots is illustrated in the following figure.
The following table explains the details of this figure; the numbers in the table correspond to numbers in the figure.
1a) This conditional router checks if the change issue is already associated to a change request. If so, the workflow continues to the conditional at 3a; otherwise, it proceeds to the sync robot at 1b.
1b) The Sync on Request Association robot waits until the event ISSUE_FORMALIZED is emitted for the primaryBusinessObject (the change issue), signaling the change issue has been attached to a change request. The workflow then continues to the conditional at 2a and the conditional at 3a simultaneously.
2a) This conditional router checks if the change issue has been immediately disassociated with the change request. If so, the workflow cycles back to 1a; otherwise, it continues to the sync robot at 2b.
3a) This conditional router checks the state of the associated change request. If it is in state Completed, the workflow continues to 3b (the end of the process). If it is in state Cancelled, the workflow loops back to a point near the beginning of the process. Otherwise, the workflow continues to the sync robot at 3b.
2b) The Listen for Request Disassociation sync robot listens for the event ISSUE_UNFORMALIZED on the primaryBusinessObject, signaling the change issue has been disassociated from its change request. This causes the sync robot at 3b (‡) to terminate, and the workflow to loop back to the conditional at 1a.
3b) The Sync on Request Complete robot waits until the state of the associated change request changes. If the state is Completed, the workflow continues to 3b (the end of the process). If it is in state Cancelled, the workflow loops back to a point near the beginning of the process. Otherwise, the sync robot continues to wait for one of those two states.
