Service-context.xml file causing login issue

erichkey — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 13:56:49 GMT

I'm able to deploy a new custom workflow but upon testing a receive an error regarding the destination folder for the document in the workflow, the service-context.xml is not added into alfresco yet.When Adding the file to {PATH}/alfresco/extension (this is were I copied the workflow bpmn file) and

Hello Erich,

Can you see any error mesagge in alfresco.log file during the startup after placing service-context.xml file in {PATH}/alfresco/extension?

If this is happening even if you can see the login screen of the application, you will not be able to log in because the repository is not working.

Hi Roberto,

I found an error in the log file indicating to a directory path that was incorrect which after I could login again.

So when testing the new created workflow, I get am prompt with:

"org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Exception while invoking TaskListener: Exception while invoking TaskListener: 01041176 Failed to execute supplied script: 01041175 A value for the mandatory parameter destination-folder has not been set on the rule item transform" which directs me to the following lines in the bpmn file:

/* transform to pdf */
                     var drafts = bpm_package.children[0].parent;
                     var docroot = drafts.parent;
                     var dest = docroot.childByNamePath("Released");
                     var trans = actions.create("transform");
                     trans.parameters["destination-folder"] = dest;
                     trans.parameters["assoc-type"] = "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}contains";
                     trans.parameters["assoc-name"] = String("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}" + bpm_package.children[0].properties["cm:name"]);
                     trans.parameters["mime-type"] = "application/pdf";
                     trans.execute(bpm_package.children[0]);]]>

I'm not quite sure what the problem is or how to correct it, I'm still considered a newbie when it comes to alfresco but thanks for the assistance so far.

Hi Erich,

You can start for confirm that space "Released" exists in the same space that the content in bpm_package.children[0] and that the user that execute this task has access to it.

Regards.

erichkey — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 12:32:30 GMT

Hi Roberto,

Where would I have to look to see if "Release" is in fact in the same space as the content of bpm_package.children[0]?

For the execute rights, do I just use chmod?

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

roberto_gamiz — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 02:03:08 GMT

Hi Erich,

We are always talking about Alfresco Repository.

According to your code "Released" must be an Alfresco Space located in the same space that the document that started the workflow (bpm_package.children[0]).

On the other hand we are not taking about execution rights but about permissions in Alfresco. Its posible that you don't obtain any result in:

docroot.childByNamePath("Released")

because the user haven't enought privileges in the parent space.

Regards

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

erichkey — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 06:04:51 GMT

On the back end I'm unable to find anything related to the mentioned spaces. Is there a specific way of finding "Released" and the bpm_package.children[0]?

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

roberto_gamiz — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 10:53:02 GMT

Hello Erich,

What steps are you taking to start the workflow instance?.

bpm_package.children[0] is the node that you are triyng to transform so you have had to selected it in some point before
starting the workflow.

"Released" simply must be located in the same Alfresco Space than the other.

To reach then you can browse the repository or use the search forms.

Regards

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

erichkey — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 11:31:34 GMT

Hi Roberto,

The workflow is started on the UI under Task > My Tasks > Workflow > Custom Workflow.

By the other do refer to the default workflows that are included?

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

roberto_gamiz — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 18:55:22 GMT

With the other I mean the document in bpm_package.children [0] that you should have selected in the workflow start form.

Hi Roberto,

Is there perhaps a way I can contact you directly, perhaps via skype?

This issue is causing some delay and it would be solved quicker via direct message platform.

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

roberto_gamiz — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 12:37:34 GMT

You can send me a private mensagge if you want but as you sure understand outside community i don't think that i can give you this kind of support.

It seems that your workflow its trying to tranform a document into pdf and store it in an especific folder. This forder must be located in Alfresco Repository in the same space where the original document (target of the transformation) lives.
Taking into acount that you init the workflow manually you must know where is the original file and so the destination folder.

However if you want to attach workflow files it would be easiest to find your problem.

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

erichkey — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 07:10:53 GMT

I completely understand. Figured I might give it a try.

Yes, the workflow is configured to transfer the file into a pdf file once the workflow is completed but where it stores the folder is the issue. According to the workflow previously created, it is as you described:

This forder must be located in Alfresco Repository in the same space where the original document (target of the transformation) lives.

This issue just randomly occurred one day, so to test out the workflow I created a new alfresco install and the same issue persisted. The previous admin created the workflow as per following instructions:

This assumes that you already created an Activiti bpmn workflow in Eclipse

I have uploaded the files mentioned above and also another file that was located along the worklfow files, another bpmn file.

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

roberto_gamiz — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 16:16:29 GMT

Hello Erich,

I just realized that in your code you up to levels in the spaces hierarchy to find the destination space.

var drafts = bpm_package.children[0].parent;
var docroot = drafts.parent;
var dest = docroot.childByNamePath("Released");

This means that assuming that the document you are trying to transform is in for example:

Repositorio> Community> DocumentReview> Documents

the destination folder Released must be in:

Repositorio> Community> DocumentReview

Take in count that the user that execute the workflow must have read/write access to the destination space to find it and to create the transformation.

Execute the workflow with admin user to know if you hace permission problems

Regards

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

erichkey — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 06:28:54 GMT

I have executed with admin but the permissions don't seem to be the problem. Upon starting the workflow as a user for a document to be reviewed, it select approve as the admin that the document has been reviewed and then get the following error message:

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Exception while invoking TaskListener: Exception while invoking TaskListener: 0115188195 Failed to execute supplied script: 0115188194 A value for the mandatory parameter destination-folder has not been set on the rule item transform

According to what you stated if I understood correct is that the draft is taken from the original folder and upon releasing the document, it is placed into another folder. Would I be able to resolve this by setting

var dest = docroot.childByNamePath("Released"); to var dest = bpm_package.children[0].parent; ?

Re: Service-context.xml file causing login issue

roberto_gamiz — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 10:31:50 GMT

Of course if you want to create the transformed document in the same space that the original one. Other option could be check if the folder exist and create it if not:

var dest = docroot.childByNamePath("Released");
if (dest == null){
dest = docroot.createFolder("Released");
}

Okay I seems that the workflow is working for now. I was busy configuring the smtp settings so that notifications emails are sent to an assignee when the workflow has started. I used Outbound SMTP configuration properties | Alfresco Documentation for the configuration but I'm not receiving a email noti when the workflow has started. I thought it might be an problem on our smtp server side so I used the gmail sample with my personal email as sender to see if that made a difference, sadly it didn't.

Here's how I have it configured at the moment.
