Add participants to the test workflow

Model-Based Systems Engineering provides a workflow that allows you to release a completed test. This workflow has default roles associated with it that are sufficient to perform the necessary tasks in a typical organization -- namely design engineer and test engineer. (In the following example, the test engineer is a CAE analyst.)

Depending on the complexity of your organization, you may want to enhance this workflow. The following example shows how to:

• Introduce a new participant, CAEAnalyst.
• Introduce a new test status, Submitted-CAE.
• Allow the CAEAnalyst participant to modify test output data, depending on the test status.
• Configure the new workflow template for the CAEAnalyst participant.
• Show the CAEAnalyst participant in the Participants location in Active Workspace.

Procedure

1. (Optional) Create a custom template project in Business Modeler IDE for the new data. You can also customize the standard test data model.

2. Configure a condition to control access, for example:

   p.crt0State = "" OR ( Condition::Crt0AnalysisRequestRevisionIsModifiable(p, s, u) AND
     Condition::Crt0IsSystemsDesigner(p, u) ) OR ( (p.crt0State != "Completed") AND
     (Condition::Crt0IsSSimulationEngineer(p, u) or Condition::IsCAEAnalyst(p, u) )
   )
   

3. If you want to create a new workflow template, create it from the default test State Workflow template:

   • In Workflow Designer, choose File > New Root Template.

   • Select the default template as the basis of your new template.

   • Add the action handlers for CAE Review Analysis Request to select-signoff-team.

   • Add the action handlers for CAE Review Analysis Request to perform-signoffs.

   • Add the action handlers for Set New Issue State on the test.

   • Modify the action handler for Review Analysis Request in perform-signoffs to Submitted-CAE if the user performs an undo action.

   • Add CAEAnalyst to the Participants section, e.g.:

     <command actionKey="newBusinessObjectContextualAction" commandId="com.siemens.splm.client.workflow.addParticipant" renderingHint="commandbutton" />
     <command actionKey="newBusinessObjectContextualAction" commandId="com.siemens.splm.client.workflow.replaceParticipant" renderingHint="commandbutton" />
     <tableDisplay>
       <property name="fnd0AssigneeUser" />
       <property name="fnd0AssigneeRole" />
       <property name="fnd0AssigneeGroup" />
       <property name="fnd0AssigneeEmail" />
       <property name="fnd0AssigneePhone" />
       <property name="fnd0AssigneeOrganization" />
     </tableDisplay>
     <listDisplay />
     

4. Open a test in Active Workspace and verify that CAEAnalyst appears on the Participants tab.
