Core actions

Introduction

Core actions are actions directly supported by the process interpreter. They relate to how a process runs, completes or fails.

success

Complete the top-level process right away and return a success value.

failure

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1]

Complete the top-level process right away and return a failure value.

process

You can run a sub-process with the process action:

<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.process.home.*.*">
    process("orbeon-home")
</property>

You can also run a sub-process directly by name:

<!-- Define a sub-process which navigates to the "/" URL -->
<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.orbeon-home.*.*">
    navigate("/")
</property>

<!-- Use that sub-process from the "home" process -->
<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.home.*.*">
    orbeon-home
</property>

suspend

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.3]

Suspend the current process. The continuation of the process is associated with the current form session.

resume

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.3]

Resume the process previously suspended with suspend.

abort

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.3]

Abort the process previously suspended with suspend. This clears the information associated with the process and it won't be possible to resume it with resume.

nop

Don't do anything and return a success value.
