A Process Commander method — as distinct from a Java method — is a primitive, atomic operation that can be performed by one step of an activity (Rule-Obj-Activity rule type) or a Parse Structured rule (Rule-Parse-Structured rule type).
For example:
Many methods require a page as a parameter and may have other input
parameters. Most methods update a few properties and return a status
property (pxMethodStatus, on the pxThread
page)
that can be tested before the activity continues onto the next step.
Internally, a method is an instance of the Rule-Method rule type. You can review, but not alter or add methods.
In Process Commander releases before Version 03-02, methods were called activity methods, to emphasize that these are different from Java methods.
