Is there any variable like "resultEnabled" , when I complete a task

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hello ,
Can we use “resultEnabled” to give us a response , when I complete a task . ?
Eg :

localhost:8080/rest/engine/default/task/2a4e7c45-21f9-11e8-825a-ee39770c0f13/complete

When I hit this REST-API (with the required payload ) , it returns a HTTP 204 response .

Is there any way to get a response-data from engine ?.

What kind of response content would you like to get?

@thorben ,
A basic response like the task is completed ., A response… That I can use to make sure the task got completed.

This is encoded in the HTTP status code. 204 means completion was successful. In cases of errors, you receive a 4xx or 5xx status code.

Hi,

Another option is you will get say an http 202 on success. You could set a process variable(s) with a value indicating some kind of outcome or value and make a subsequent REST API call to retrieve that value. For example you can get variables associated with the process instance…

@Webcyberrob ,
How should i implement this ??

Hi,

So in your task implementation, you could set a process variable to a status value, eg;

execution.setVariable(“Task_Status”,“OK”)

Hence when you use the REST API to complete the task, make another REST API call to get this value. See the docs [1]
