Hello All,
Currently I am working on a plugin where i need to set value for "ProcessVariable" object, to pass into "ProcessStartConfig" object. But ProcessVariable setValue() function is deprecated as it origins from the TypedVariable. Even though it's working fine , since it's deprecated is there any other way to set the value other than using setValue() for ProcessVariable. or is it fine to use this function ?

I am not creating new variables. They are variables that my process model already has. I am just creating the abstraction of those variables for my Java code to be able to identify them by Name.

Here's how I start a process that requires 3 pv's. I am populating those pv's

ProcessVariable[] processVariables = new ProcessVariable[3];

TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue(Long.valueOf(AppianType.INTEGER), new Long(100));
NamedTypedValue namedTypeValue = new NamedTypedValue(typedValue,"anIntegerNumber");
ProcessVariable pvInstance = new ProcessVariable(namedTypeValue);
processVariables[0] = pvInstance;

typedValue = new TypedValue(Long.valueOf(AppianType.STRING), new String("fromAPI"));
namedTypeValue = new NamedTypedValue(typedValue,"wMyOtherText");
pvInstance = new ProcessVariableInstance(namedTypeValue);
processVariables[1] = pvInstance;

typedValue = new TypedValue(Long.valueOf(AppianType.STRING), new String("fromAPI2"));
namedTypeValue = new NamedTypedValue(typedValue,"zMyText");
pvInstance = new ProcessVariableInstance(namedTypeValue);
processVariables[2] = pvInstance;

ProcessStartConfig config = new ProcessStartConfig();
config.setProcessParameters(processVariables);

pds.initiateProcess(processModelId, config);
