You can design start workflow as a menu not begin with a content. E.x: flex-air-browser or docasu they did that.

Regards.

Unfortunatelly, i couldn't find workflow menu in a DoCASU.
Where is it in the DoCASU?

May be Docasu not support menu start workflow. You can install flex-air-browser for view that module. Thanks!

Regards.

you could start a workflow via a business rule or "execute script" action (see example in the wiki). this way, you could start tht workflow on a folder as "current object".

Hi,
I want to apply jBPM workflow for the folder/space as object, if I try to create new rule for folder, can I achieve jBPM workflow for the folder/spaces.(Like, getting assignees from UI and assign task to them )

My requirement is to get same "Advance workflow" which is exists for individual file

Please let me know in case any examples are presents or if any one have done already done.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,
I found workflow menu item for a space and I have used Parallel review workflow.
The assignment is not throwing any error but when I approve I am getting following error

"A system error happened during the operation: 09020009 Failed to signal transition 'approve' from workflow task"
I am trying to move approved space to different location . my processes definition is as follows
        . . .
        <transition name="approve" to="approved">
            <condition>#{wf_actualPercent >= 30}</condition>
      <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
          <runas>admin</runas>
          <script>
            var dest= companyhome.childByNamePath("Approved");
              bpm_package.children[0].move(dest);
          </script>
           </action>
        </transition>
        . . .
I am able to initiate same workflow using scripts via rule with following code.

var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wfarallelgroupreview";
workflow.parameters.requiredApprovePercent = 20;
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "Please review and approve: " + document.name;
workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = people.getGroup("GROUP_engineering");
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);

I am trying this because I want to add reviewers from UI

Please help me
Thanks in advance

as I said earlier when I initiate this workflow via rule, it is working fine, so I printed that variable value and found it is undefined
I have pasted error log for same workflow on content and space as resource.

the node type is showing folder instead of content. I understood that I have to send document type as folder instead of content. I tried changing in the start task at jbpmmodel.xml but didn't work.
Plz guide me to resolve this issue
Thanks

Hi,
I have downloaded flex air and found they are also using similar javascript which is mentioned above.
here is the code
File name : startWorkflow.post.js

    var assigner = args.assigner;
    var reviewer = args.reviewer;
    var description = args.desc;
    var workflow = actions.create("process-action");
    workflow.parameters["assigner-id"] = person.properties.userName;
    workflow.parameters["reviewer-id"] = reviewer;
    workflow.parameters["review-desc"] = description;
    workflow.execute(node);
    model.assigner = workflow.parameters["assigner-id"];    
    model.reviewer = workflow.parameters["reviewer-id"];
    model.desc = workflow.parameters["review-desc"];
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I am also able to start workflow via rule like this.
so, is there any way that I can start workflow with space as reference from alfresco UI?

Thanks

Re: Workflow to space

harishns — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:07:02 GMT

any hopes on starting workflow on space ??
