Hi ,
I want to specify some condition in the control connector after an activity is expired. How do i know that the activity is actually expired and not checked in by some one. Is there a specific value for _RC for an expired activity.

You can check to see if the state is expired. See the doc for the exact syntax.

Hi John,
I want to specify a condition in my control connector. Some body can work on the task before it's getting expired. If some one worked on the task (did a checkin) then the flow should be different, if nobody worked on the tasks for a specific time period then the activity expires and should take another flow. So i need to differentiate between a task which is checked in by some one and a task which is expired using the control connector ( or is there any other way for this). In the datastructure i did n't find some default element useful for this.

| I am not aware if there is any direct way to do this...Alternative may be to add a flag in the datastructure & set that flag if the task is checked in manually...Transition codition would be to check that flag.... |

You can have a default connector path taken when an activity expires and other conditions if it was checked in manually ( some element in the datastructures might be changing if checked in) or a flag as suggested.

I wanted to know whether it's possible to use some default elements like _RC or _ACTIVITY_INFO etc for this purpose instead of redoing my datastructure and java class.
thx

Perhaps I don't understand, but is there some reason that you can not use
_State(<activity name>) = _Expired
vs
_State(<activity name>) = _Finished

This is documented in the Buildtime manual.
