Mapping Adapter to a process task in process definition.

Question

Hi Guys
My requirement is , Disable users associated with an organization when the organization is disabled.
I have performed the following steps:
1. In design console Lookup definition Lookup.ACT_PROCESS_TRIGGERS , I added a row
ACT_DISABLED   DisableUSerWhenOrgDisabled
2. Then I created process task adapter to recursively disable the users based on the organization name.
3.Next I attached the adapter to a new task in process definition --> Xellerate User with the name DisableUSerWhenOrgDisabled(decode field in Lookup.ACT_PROCESS_TRIGGERS ).
4.Then I mapped the Adapter variables to appropriate entities in the Integration tab.
Now when I login into the admin console and disable an Organization , the adapter is not at all invoked.
I am unable to get if I am missing anything.Kindly help in resolving this.
Is this the correct way to achieve this functionality?
OR
Do I need to go for Entity Adapters.
Thank you

SAS,
You only need one adapter. You can use one variable that maps the Organization Name. Using this value, you can use the tcOrganizationOperationIntf apis to get information about that organization. Once you get the disabled value, you can create your if statement based on the value of this task. If the Organization is not disabled, return a literal string like "NO_ACTION_REQUIRED". If the Organization is disabled, using the code i previously posted, or the code you have generated, to disabled all the users within the organization. If this task successfully completes, return the literal string like "ALL_USERS_DISABLED". If an error happens, i would return something like "ERROR" or something more descriptive. Then on your responses tab, you can add these values you are returning, along with a more descriptive value. Set the NO_ACTION_REQUIRED and ALL_USERS_DISABLED to a C status and the ERROR responses to a R status. Now when you map your adapter, map in your Organization Name and for your Adapter Return Value map it to the responses.
As far as what you can do with responses. On the process task, the response tab, you can select the specific response, and then have it trigger another task.
