Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the workflow tutorials  …

I am trying to implement a workflow on folder in Alfresco share (Alfresco 3.4).

I have added workflow action to folder, and i am able to start workflow on Folder.

But requirement is any user whom the task is assigned can add other document also to that folder.. and that document will be part of workflow for coming stages.

Can you suggest how to achieve that …?

Thanks.

There are two ways you can do this that I can think of. First, if you are routing the folder in the workflow, the folder itself is in the workflow package. So when your workflow performs operations on the items in the package, the code can just drill into the folder, and any document in the folder will be accessible to the workflow. This is probably the easiest approach.

An alternative approach would be to set a rule on folders that would be triggered when new items are added to the folder. The rule would check to see if the folder is part of a workflow. If it is part of a workflow, the rule could get a handle to the workflow package and then add the new document to the workflow package.

I'd definitely go with the first option if it works for you.

The error you are getting, 404, means that the browser asked the server for a page and the server couldn't find it. This could indicate that your server never fully started. In order for me to provide any assistance, you'll need to provide any errors or stack traces you are seeing in your Alfresco log file. In your case, that log file lives in c:\Alfresco\tomcat\logs\catalina.out.

Hello Jeff, I followed his tutorial and everything worked! I wonder if I have to enter information in a SQL Server database from within the file ExternalReviewNotification.java after sending the email?

Thank you.

[SOLVED]

to solve the problem only enter a database connection in the class ExternalReviewNotification.java

what is the error you are facing?

Hi,
i have scenario where i want to add a work flow to a folder so that any files uploaded to the folder can be approved. actually i tried to use rule but it seems to support only simple workflow is there any way i can apply my workflow. i am using alfresco community 4.2 c

thanx

you can do it using a rule. You can create a rule which execute a javascript script when a file is uploaded in a folder. In the javascript file you can start a workflow.
