Alfresco Activiti-App: showing attached process and task documents

mikeblum — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:39:59 GMT

Hi,I'm attempting to programatically attach a file to an Activiti Process Instance. I've proved out that I can set the text of a form field but am not able to attach a document yet.My first attempt was to add a byte array of the file to the properties ultimately being sent to the process before call

Hi Mike,

You are working with the Alfresco Activiti Enterprise application right?
There's a different API in enterprise to add attachments / related content to a task or process instance.
This API is part of the RelatedContentService.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs,
Correct I'm using the enterprise Activiti application. I wasn't able to find any documentation on the related content service in the public activiti api docs (http://activiti.org/javadocs). Is this an alfresco specific service?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Tijs,

I found the necessary endpoints in the bundled documentation with the Alfresco Enterprise Activiti Suite 1.2 installer.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Tijs,

I've created a service that uploads content to the process but its not showing up in the activiti-app:

To add content to a process instance:

POST api/enterprise/process-instances/{processInstanceId}/content-raw

and I see the content was successfully attached with:

GET api/enterprise/process-instances/{processInstanceId}/content

Do I need to do anything else to get the document to show up on the task? I don't see the document on the process either in the activiti-app.

Thanks.
Mike

here's the result of the {processInstanceId}/content GET call:

<javascript>
{
"size": 1,
"total": 1,
"start": 0,
"data": [
    {
      "id": 7016,
      "name": "test-doc.pdf",
      "created": "2015-07-09T19:15:02.984+0000",
      "createdBy": {
        "id": 1,
        "firstName": "",
        "lastName": "Administrator",
        "email": "test@localhost"
      },
      "contentAvailable": true,
      "link": false,
      "mimeType": "application/octet-stream",
      "simpleType": "content",
      "previewStatus": "queued",
      "thumbnailStatus": "queued"
    }
]
}
</javascript>
It there something ewlse I need to do to get the document to show up on the process and/or task in the activiti-app?

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure if the UI already displays the related content for a process.

For a task it should work though, the same method: POST /enterprise/tasks/{taskId}/raw-content with the file in multipart/form-data.
There is an optional request parameter isRelatedContent that you can use to kick off renditions (thumbnail, preview) in the UI automatically.

Hi,

From my screenshot I can see we can add content to the process instance, just not the tasks. For some reason the POST /enterprise/tasks/{taskId}/raw-content endpoint is not documented in the Alfresco Activiti api docs - it says to use POST /enterprise/process-isntances/{taskId}/raw-content. I've raised this as a case with Alfresco.

Thanks,
Mike
