What version are you running? If you're on 2.2.3 you might want to check this ticket:
https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETWOTWO-1161?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

Otherwise, theoretically, you just have to skip the last task-node by changing where the final review transition points to.

Hi,

Now i am using Alfresco 3.1.1.

I found a solution by replacing swimlane="initiator" to swimlane="assignee" in submit_processdefinition.xml at line no 192 & 216 as

<task-node name="submitpending" end-tasks="true">
<task name="wcmwf:submitpendingTask" swimlane="assignee">
…..

&

<task-node name="submitted" end-tasks="true">
<task name="wcmwf:submittedTask" swimlane="assignee">
…..

But what i observed is that after this it is taking 3-4 minutes for content to be deployed from creator sandbox to editor sandbox???Also some times creator is getting intermediate screen showing submission pending from creator side?

Do anyone has some idea on these things??

Hi,

jbpm workflow timer polls at every 15 min causing some delay.It can be configured by putting appropriate value for "idleInterval" parameter

<field name="idleInterval"><int value="your value" /></field>

in jbpm.cfg.xml under org/alfresco/repo/workflow/jbpm package in alfresco-repository.jar in ../WEB-INF/lib.

Hi,

Finally i found that i can override this using info available @

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Launch#Configuration which says

The workflow timer task polls every 1.5 mins (90 secs) by default, this can be changed in a file called jbpm.cfg.xml in the org/alfresco/repo/workflow/jbpm package. To change the "idleInterval" value, either edit this file directly or using the standard override mechanism, copy jpbm.cfg.xml and point to it by overriding the "jbpm_configuration" bean in workflow-context.xml.

So just go to

alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow-context.xml

& search for jbpm_configuration.It will available as a bean definition like this:

<bean id="jbpm_configuration" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJbpmConfigurationFactoryBean">
      <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
      <property name="configuration" value="classpath:org/alfresco/repo/workflow/jbpm/jbpm.cfg.xml"/>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍

So update classpath as per your requirement.Its done.
