Database call in human task

Question

Hello,
Is it possible to make database call to save some data in human task into database and later taking this task and submitting it as done to the process?
What I want to achieve is that when user gets task, he/she opens it and enters some information and saves it into database, later returns, reviews information he/she entered and submits it to process (ends task).
Any suggestions appreciated.

Yes, it is possible assign a group as participant of some human task, passing the group name as parameter.
I have tested just now.
It works pretty well in SOA 11.1.1.4 (BPEL or BPM).
Make sure add a data parameter in your human task definition and pass a valid group name to it.
At the Assignment tab, in the participants' list, add a group, data type by expression, and set the value to the right xpath expression to the corresponding parameter.
For example: /task:task/task:payload/task:group
If it is not working look the SOA log files, probably you'll find some information about the error there. Maybe there is some problem with your jazn.com configuration.
You can also test if there is something wrong related to the group name, trying to transfer some task to the same group by the worklist.
