Deploy workflow

evdgeest — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 14:06:52 GMT

I followed the Creating and Customizing Workflow guide, but i got stuck at the point of deploying the definition into alfresco. I renamed workflow-context.xml.sample into workflow-context.xml in the extension folder, after restarting alfresco I get other workflow options like pooled and parallel rev

Hi,

It is better to put everything you create in extension folder instead of workflow except properties.
It seems there is some configuration issue in your files. Most probably you didn't configure bpm:assignee in web client. I am interested to see your model file and web client configurations

Thanks for your reply!
I placed the briefModel.xml, brief_processdefinition.xml and brief-messages.properties in new folder called workflow in the extension folder and edited the workflow-context.xml in the extension folder to the following code. I still get errors when I place workflow-context.xml into the extension folder. Do you know what this means and how I can resolve it?

I will post the brief.xml and brief_processdefinition.xml in the next post.

When I place workflow-context.xml in the extension folder this error is shown in alfresco.log

Ensure you have placed briefModel.xml in the above directory.

I already fixed the problem, thanks for your answer.

Hi. I try create this workflow .
I create brief_processdefinition.xml and briefModel.xml and workflow-context.xml and place them to the alfresco\extension
and it display on the list advance workflow but I can't deploy it .
WARNING] swimlane 'initiator' does not have an assignment
[WARNING] swimlane 'afdelinghoofd' does not have an assignment
[WARNING] swimlane 'afdelinghoofd' does not have an assignment
deployed definition id: jbpm$13 , name: jbpm$wf:brief , title: wf:brief , version: 4
definition: jbpm$13 , name: wf:brief
workflow: None
path: None

what is wrong? how to fix it.
and when I edit the adhoc workflow

some code
<transition name="" to="completed">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
           <script>
              if (wf_notifyMe)
              {
                 var mail = actions.create("mail");
                 mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
                 mail.parameters.subject = "Adhoc Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
                 mail.parameters.from = bpm_assignee.properties.email;
                 mail.parameters.text = "It's done";
                 mail.execute(bpm_package);
              }

            var myRoot=bpm_context.parent;
         var myUserhome=initiator.properties['cm:homeFolder'];
         var archiveFolder = myRoot.childByNamePath("Test");
         for (var i = 0; i < bpm_package.children.length; i++) {
            bpm_package.children.copy(archiveFolder);
   }


           </script>
         </action>
      </transition>
it not change.why?
thanks so much
