Description

PROCESS EQUALS matches the variants of a process based on simple expressions. PROCESS EQUALS is less powerful than MATCH_PROCESS but it is also simpler to use.

Syntax

PROCESS [ NOT ] equals [ start ] activity ( to activity )* [ end ]

• equals: EQUALS | #
• start: START | ^ (The case has to match from the start)
• end: END | $ (The case has to match till the end)
• to: TO | ->
• activity: ANY | * | single_activity | grouped_activity
  • single_activity: [LIKE] activity (Activity name. LIKE allows you to use wildcards in your activity name)
  • grouped_activity: single_activity (, single_activity )*

Examples

PROCESS EQUALS to filter down to cases where activity 'A' is directly followed by 'B'. Where in the case the activity 'A' is followed by 'B' doesn't matter in this case.

ANY or short * is placeholder for no activity or an arbitrary number of activities. Therefore in this example all three cases are in the result.

With END the given pattern has to match directly before the end of the case.

With START the given pattern has to match directly from the case start.

It is also possible to use a shorter syntax. The example query is identical to PROCESS EQUALS START 'A' TO 'B' END.

With LIKE wildcards can be used for the activity names.

Restricts the result to cases where A isn't directly followed by C.
