Hi,

you can do this, for this you need to add logic in activiti bpmn file.

On statrt workflow you can change the status to like "In Review"
After approve you can change the staus to "Approved"


 <process id="<id>" name="<name>">

        <extensionElements>
            <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                          for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
            bpm_package.children[j].properties["preifx:status"]="In Review";
            bpm_package.children[j].save();
         }
                     </activiti:string>
                  </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
        </extensionElements>

   <userTask id="<id>" name="<name>" activiti:formKey="<formKey>">
    <activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
                  <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                        if(task.getVariableLocal('reviewBNOutcome') == 'Approve') {
                           for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
               bpm_package.children[j].properties["preifx:status"]="Approved";
               bpm_package.children[j].save();
            }
                        }
                     </activiti:string>

Hi,

Thanks for your answer lementree. Could you tell me which file I have to update for this ? I suppose it is adhoc.bpmn20.xml located in \tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow.

Waiting for your answer.

Re: Workflow updating document properties

lementree — Mon, 19 May 2014 13:00:56 GMT

Yes, and after modifing you need to make change in tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\bootstrap-context.xml to re-deploy the workflow.

But it's still not working. Could you tell me what I have to update in the bootstrap-context.xml ? I suppose it's in the

Maybe this one ?

Re: Workflow updating document properties

kaynezhang — Tue, 20 May 2014 01:54:21 GMT

You should redeploy the workflow definition,please visit http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp and execute redeploy command.

Hi,

I gave you just example code, you need to replace that with your contentmodel and properties.
Do you have knowledge in Activiti workflow?.

In the above replace

with your custom model property or some property to save the status.

In the bootstrap-context.xml file you need to make

in corrresponding bpmn20.xml entry i.e

Hi,

I gave you just example code, you need to replace that with your contentmodel and properties.
Do you have knowledge in Activiti workflow?.

Re: Workflow updating document properties

crono40 — Tue, 20 May 2014 13:34:41 GMT

Ok. Thanks for your help. I succeeded doing it right. I had to modify the parallel-review.bpmn20.xml.

Here the first part of the file :


<process isExecutable="true" id="activitiParallelReview" name="Parallel Review And Approve Activiti Process">

        <extensionElements>
            <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                          execution.setVariable('wf_approveCount', 0);
                        execution.setVariable('wf_rejectCount', 0);
                        
                        execution.setVariable('wf_actualPercent', 0);
                        execution.setVariable('wf_actualRejectPercent', 0);
                        
                          execution.setVariable('wf_reviewerCount', bpm_assignees.size());
                          execution.setVariable('wf_requiredPercent', wf_requiredApprovePercent);
                  
                  for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
                     var doc = bpm_package.children[j];
                     doc.properties['cm:description'] = "EN COURS DE REVISION";
                     doc.save();
                  }
                  

                     </activiti:string>
                  </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
        </extensionElements>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So now i've got an oter question. Is it possible at the same time, to create a new version of the document ?

Many thanks for your help, both of you.

Re: Workflow updating document properties

kaynezhang — Tue, 20 May 2014 17:04:25 GMT

Do you mean creating a new version of the document that the workflow action on?

Yes of course ,but you should make it versionable(if it is not already versionable),below is sample code


if(!doc.isVersioned)
{
   doc.addAspect("cm:versionable");
} 
// check it out and update  the working copy
var workingCopy = doc.checkout();
workingCopy.content = update working copy content";
workingCopy.properties['cm:description'] = "EN COURS DE REVISION";
// check it in
doc = workingCopy.checkin();

Re: Workflow updating document properties

crono40 — Wed, 21 May 2014 09:26:58 GMT

Yes thanks kaynezhang. I did it, helping me with this page : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API_Cookbook#Create_Document.2C_Make_it_Versionable.2C_Modify_It

However, I have an other problem. When I start my workflow, the document description is updated and the version is changed (1.0 and become 1.1). I would like if the document is rejected, the document go back to 1.0 version. When I did it manually in Alfresco Share, the document version is going to 1.2

I tried removing doc of bpm_package and recreate it, to have file with 1.0 version, with this code


var files = [];
for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
bpm_package.children[j].properties['cm:description'] = "DRAFT!";
files[j] = bpm_package.children[j];
bpm_package.children[j].remove();
bpm_package.addNode(files[j]);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But when i start my workflow i have a permission error

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Exception while invoking TaskListener: Exception while invoking TaskListener: 04210074 Failed to execute supplied script: 04210073 Access refusé. Vous n'avez pas la permission de réaliser cette opération.‍

Any ideas to solve it ? Thanks a lot

Re: Workflow updating document properties

kaynezhang — Wed, 21 May 2014 11:42:08 GMT

Why not revert the document to previous version.when the document is rejected


for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
var doc = bpm_package.children[j];
doc.revert();
}
