Returns:

the Start Mode of the org.demac.process.base.dpdl.Activity. Possible Start Modes are AUTOMATIC or MANUAL. AUTOMATIC lets the execution engine start the Activity, whereas MANUAL requires user interaction. AUTOMATIC is the default Start Mode.

getTransitionRestriction

TransitionRestriction getTransitionRestriction()

Returns:

the org.demac.process.base.dpdl.TransitionRestrictions of the org.demac.process.base.dpdl.Activity. This could either be a org.demac.process.base.dpdl.Join, a org.demac.process.base.dpdl.Split, or both.

getExtendedAttributes

java.util.Hashtable getExtendedAttributes()

Returns:

the org.demac.process.base.dpdl.ExtendedAttributes of the org.demac.process.base.dpdl.Activity, for example optional information.
