Hi,

Alfresco javascript may be hooked into many points within a workflow (e.g. on entering or leaving a state, on transition etc).

All Alfresco javascript capabilities are available. So, operations like copy, move, transform are all possible within advanced workflows.

Within a workflow there are many pre-defined variables which can be accessed in javascript e.g. the package of content items being routed through the workflow, the space where the workflow was initiated.

This is all documented at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration (How to develop your own advanced workflows).

In your case, lets say you want to move all content items in the workflow to a space called 'Approved' (found under the space where the workflow was started) when the transition 'approve' is signalled… the following simple script will do the job.

<transition name="approve" to="approved">
  <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
     <script>
        var dest = bpm_context.childByNamePath("Approved");
        for (var i = 0; i < bpm_package.children.length; i++)
        {
            bpm_package.children[i].move(dest);
        }
     </script>
  </action>
</transition>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note:
bpm_context = the space where the workflow was started
bpm_package = the collection of content items being routed thru the workflow

Let me know how you get on - also, if you'd like to share a description of your workflow, that'll be useful too.

Hey i am using a writen js for my workflow but it doesn't working.
Is it possible to execute this script to parallelreview_group_processdefinition.xml to move document to space Approved?

var dest = companyhome.childByNamePath("User Homes/Approved");

              for (var i = 0; i < bpm_package.children.length; i++)
              {
                   bpm_package.children.move(dest);
              }
I figure it out the problem is in the bpm_package but don't know how to change it to work.
Please need advise.

Tnx

Hi,

I know this is a long post, but may I know what is the example of bpm_package? I think I'm not getting any files moved because of it.

Thanks!
