Configuring straight-through processing for stages

Straight-through processing can be used to start stages immediately after a stage completes in a review. (See Stage execution flow in Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator 9.5 Solution Guide .)

To configure straight-through processing, use the <straight_through_processing> element in the review template.

• When set to true , the review proceeds to the next stage as soon as all the mandatory participants complete their tasks.

• When set to false , a task is assigned to the review initiator when all the mandatory reviewers of the stage have marked the review complete. Using this task, the initiator can make the following decisions:

  1. Continue with the same document, which means the same document is used in the following stage.

  2. Upload a new document and decide to revise the stage.

     Stage: Revising the stage means that the current stage is restarted. For example, if the initiator uploads a new document and revises the stage after stage four completes, stage four restarts with the uploaded document.

     Review: Revising the review means that the review starts from stage one. For example, if the initiator uploads a new document and restarts the review after stage four, the review of the uploaded document starts from stage one.

  A new version of the review document is created in both the restart review and restart stage.

For example:
