Moving document without creating tasks

e-no91 — Wed, 14 May 2014 12:16:33 GMT

I'm thinking about making an advanced workflow that directly moves a file from folder to folder without initiating any task.I've tried deleting everything I think is related to task until my processdefinition.xml is left as such:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process-definition xmln

Have you tried creating a sequence flow between start and end and then adding your script as an execution listener on the sequence flow?


    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="startevent1" targetRef="endevent1">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
            <activiti:string><![CDATA[logger.log("Hello, World!");]]></activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
        </activiti:executionListener>
      </extensionElements>
    </sequenceFlow>

Hi Jeff,

I've tried that and the workflow still sends user a task, without moving the document.

My processdefinition is still the same,

Here is my current code for lifecycle-process.bpmn20.xml


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<definitions id="lifecycle-definitions"
             typeLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
             expressionLanguage="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath"
             targetNamespace="http://activiti.org/bpmn20" 
             xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn">

    <process id="activitiLifecycleApproval" name="Activiti Lifecycle Process">
       <extensionElements>
           <!– When process is deleted/cancelled, status should be set to draft –>
             <activiti:executionListener event="end" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                   
                  </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
         </extensionElements>
        <startEvent id="startE"/>

        <sequenceFlow id='flow1' 
            sourceRef='startE'
            targetRef='end'>
             <extensionElements>
                <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
            <activiti:string>
<runas>admin</runas>
 var dest = companyhome.childByNamePath(bpm_moveDestination);
for (var i = 0 ; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++)
{
bpm_package.children.move(dest);
}
</activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
        </activiti:executionListener>
            </extensionElements>
        </sequenceFlow>

      
        <endEvent id="end" />

    </process>

</definitions>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and my js


var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wfl:lifecycleapproval";
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = "us1";
workflow.parameters["bpm:moveDestination"] = "Sites/ar-rahnu/documentLibrary/SEMAKAN";
workflow.execute(document);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I wonder if it is possible to have assignee to auto approve a task directly from the xml? So that the task is sent and completed at the same time..

I have another question, if I call "jbpm$wfl:lifecycleapproval" in js, it will refer to processdefinition.xml, and if I call "activiti$activitiLifecycleApproval" it refers to the bpmn20 file? Or both? I'm a bit confused after playing around with the files..

You have made several mistakes:
1.Your workflow engine is activiti ,sou workflow name should be

activiti$activitiLifecycleApproval‍

,you are using

jbpm$wfl:lifecycleapproval‍

in your javascrit,so the above workflow might be not executed at all.
2.It seems

  </activiti:field>‍

in below code is no use (you didn't add javascript into it) .Please delete the whole session.,otherwise it might cause error


       <extensionElements>
           <!– When process is deleted/cancelled, status should be set to draft –>
             <activiti:executionListener event="end" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                  </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

3. also you should define runas like this


            <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
               <activiti:field name="runAs"><activiti:string>admin</activiti:string></activiti:field>
               <activiti:field name="script">
                  <activiti:string>
                        var dest = companyhome.childByNamePath(bpm_moveDestination);
                        for (var i = 0 ; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++){
                           bpm_package.children.move(dest);
                        }
                  </activiti:string>
               </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If you call "jbpm$wfl:lifecycleapproval" in js,it will only refer to a jbpm process defination who's id is "jbpm$wfl:lifecycleapproval"
A process name in alfresco includes two part ,the part before $ is engine name,the part after $ is process id you define in your process definition.

Is it possible to execute the javascript code using "System" user?
I tried, and it says the user system doesn't exist.
