Activity: Input

The input structure of nJAMS activities allows you to map additional content to nJAMS. Since all elements of the input structure are optional it is not required to provide an input for any field.

You can provide a value for the following fields:

Element	Datatype	max length	Description
EventMsgCode	string	1000 byte [1]	User defined log message code id.
EventMsg	string	1000 byte [1]	User defined log message name such as description of the event, postition of the event, etc.
Payload	string	unlimited [2]	Ths is the payload message transported by the process.
Stacktrace	string	unlimited [2]	The stacktrace object contains technical error information. This element is especially suitable for activity LogError.
Attributes			This element contains information that can be mapped individually. Typically attributes contain business related content like order number, customer name, etc.
Attribute			This is the repeating element.
Name	string	1000 byte [1]	The name of an attribute describes meaning of the content.
Type	string	100 byte [1]	You can declare a specific type of the attribute like “string”, “number”, “date”. This element is optional. If not provided, a string will be assumed.
value	string	4000 byte [1]	The attribute value contains the data of the attribute. For example if attribute type is “OrderId”, a valid content might be “A4711”.
LogContext
CorrelationLogID	string	1000 byte [1]	This Id is used by nJAMS to correlate multiple log entries to a log entry chain.
ParentLogID	string	1000 byte [1]	This ID allows a hierarchical composition of log entries. The ParentLogID is the LogID of the process instance that calls the current process.
ExternalLogID	string	1000 byte [1]	This ID is a user defined identifier.
BusinessService	string	1000 byte [1]	Name of the Business Service that is represented by one or more technical processes.
BusinessObject	string	1000 byte [1]	Name of the Business Object that is delivered by one or more technical processes.
BusinessStart	datetime	n/a	User defined starting timestamp that can differ from current system timestamp (depricated).
BusinessEnd	datetime	n/a	Use defined ending timestamp that can differ from current system timestamp (depricated).

maximum size for singlebyte charactersets, such as UTF-8 or Latin1. For multibyte charactersets, such as UTF-16 or UTF-32, the maximum length must be divided by the amount of bytes required to encode a single character.

there is no practical limit, though the underlying messaging system (JMS) or persistence layer may have a limitation.
