Action Steps

Actions steps are the actions configured in the FASt. The APM is built on the FASt. The logic and functionality for the action is written in FASt. Examples of actions are ApprovedfromReview, ObtainCRA, ObtainRiskScore, and so on. To use an action in a workflow, create a workflow step of the type Action. Action steps can be used in parallel steps, where you select a number of steps that can be executed in parallel.
For an action step, specify the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
Name Name of the step.
Display label Display name of the step.
Action name Name of the action as configured in the FASt. Not all actions configured in FASt are visible in the list. Only those actions that are referenced in om_apm_action_reference and are public are present in the list.
Action Parameters

Custom action steps

Apart from the preconfigured action steps available for use in the synchronous workflows, if you require new action steps, you must configure them in FASt in the om_apm_sync_consumer_core eSpace and reference them in the om_apm_action_reference eSpace. These custom action steps must conform to certain specifications.

Exception handling: Out-of-the-box action steps have inbuilt error handling. If such a workflow step fails, you can see the reason for the failure. If you configure a custom action step in FASt Manager and use it in a synchronous workflow, ensure that you add the Exception Handler element and its logic in the custom action. If you do not add an exception handler, if the workflow step fails, you will see only a generic error message. With the exception handler, you can use the exceptionmessage property to identify the exception.

For more information about how to develop custom action steps for use in a synchronous workflow, see the FICO Origination Manager Application Processing Module Developer's Guide.
