Running Condition Escalation

The Settings in the EscAgent.Properties file need to be verified:

user=ESCALATION

password=FA19D6F9D3B8C4CD5D00035CA7468847

### set IP address where the Valuemation is running

serverIpAddress=localhost

In this example the Escalation Server is run on the same machine as the client so the IPAdress is entered as “localhost”. Otherwise the IP Address of the machine where the Valuemation is started in Escalation Mode is entered here. The User needs to be a valid Valuemation User.

Now to run the escalation Process itself, Valuemation must be started as the Escalation Server. Add the –escalation Parameter to the call in the Admin.bat or Run.bat. See a full description of this in Start Valuemation in Server Mode.

Now start the Escalation Agent with the Parameter "Order":

set ESCPARAMETER=ORDER

if "%1"=="" goto start

set ESCPARAMETER=%1

:start

START javaw -Xmx256m -classpath "%TCP%" %SECURITY% de.usu.s3.integration.escalation.EscalationAgentStarter %ESCPARAMETER%

Start the EscAgent.bat either from the command prompt or with a double-click in Explorer. The Escalation Server must already be running by now (it is usually running as a service).

Note: The EscAgent.bat is usually being launched automatically in set intervals using a Scheduler.

At runtime, the Escalation Type points to a condition which is to be applied to the business object "Order". The Condition is evaluated and the appropriate actions are carried out (i.e. an email will be send).

The results are recorded in the log file.
