ACTION_ID Numeric IN The ID of the action instance to be completed

Example

You want to complete an asynchronous web procedure action named MYASYNCACTION, which has the following parameters:

  • AMOUNT receive the value into: Data: TOTAL (you must create this process data)

In your process, add an action using COMPLETEACTION application with the following parameters:

  • REQUEST_ID send the value of: Data: REQUEST_ID_UPDATE (you must create this process data)
