Custom Process Step

A custom process step was implemented to create the zip file containing the form attachments. If you are not familiar with creating OSGi bundle, please follow these instructions

The code in the custom process step does the following

  • Query for all the adaptive form attachments under the payload folder. Folder name is passed as a process argument to the process step.

  • Create a zip file containing the form attachments and store it under the payload folder.

  • Set the value of workflow variable (no_of_attachments)

NOTE
Please make sure you have a variable called no_of_attachments of type Double in your workflow for this code to work.
