Have a look at alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow\parallelreview_processdefinition.xml

If you set the requiredApprovePercent to 100% and assign the approvedParallelTask Task to the publisher then the parallelreview_processdefinition.xml is the workflow you described.

hiii,
Thanks for ur reply.It is really helpful but please tell me where I have to write this code :!: :!:
And in parellelview_processdefinition.xml what is the significance of "bpm_assignees" .As I have created a group of approvers …So how will I use
my group in place of "bpm_assignees" :?: :?:
for reference the somecodelines are as follows:

<node name="startreview">
        <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.ForEachFork">
           <foreach>#{bpm_assignees}</foreach>
<var>reviewer</var>
        </action>

And one more thing…till now I have created simple workflow for my scenario and its working ,only my condition of approval by three can not be applied.
So now If I have to create advance workflow or parellelview_processdefinition.xml can be used in my simple workflow :?: :?:

Ah ok, I did not realize that you want to use a simple workflow. In this I don't know a solution your problem "…to make a rule that if the document is approved by all the three approvers only then it has to be published".

If you are going to use advanced workflows have a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration first. The significance of "bpm_assignees" is explained there.
Besides the parellelview_processdefinition.xml there is also a parallelreview_group_processdefinition.xml that shows how to assign a review task to each person in a group of reviewers.

good evening,
I am now using advanced workflow.I have tried all things but facing the same problem
In my scenario all the document should be in "draft" folder initially;then they should move to "pending 4 approval" folder and then they should move to "publish"
folder after approval

when I created advanced workflow ;all the three approvers got a document to approve in TO DO TASK list and after clicking on "approve" button
the documents got transferred to COMPLETED TASK list.

1-I want to know where should I specify the condition to move the document in a specific folder after "approval" or "rejection" :?: :?: in "parellelgroupreview_process.xml " file or in which file:?: :?:

2-
Can I use files "workflow-messages.properties " and "workflowModel.xml " in my scene?
I have created custom workflow in datadictionary…in which I wrote the code given in parellelgroupreview_process.xml file.I wanted to know If I have to create some other file with it or not :?: :?:
means if I have to create web-client-custom.xml :?: :?:
Please help me out with this :idea:
