you want to create a custom content rule. For that, you will not have to create a custom action, but just a script that can trigger an advanced-workflow. And, with these new clues, you will surely find in this forum the script that will allow you to create your content rule.
I used to run a workflow from a script as is explained in the already refered posts but now (in Alfresco 3.2) it does not run it says:
ERROR [org.alfresco.web.ui.common.Utils] Failed to run Actions due to error: 09080028 Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore/0adac610 -09e4-40b2-9aec-ba165d0d57ac': 09080027 Failed to signal transition 'null' from workflow task 'jbpm$21' org.alfresco.scripts.ScriptException: 09080028 Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore/0adac610-09e4-40b2-9aec-ba165d0d57ac': 09080027 Failed to signal transition 'null' from workflow task 'jbpm$21'
It seems that in this new Alfresco release there is a WorkflowManager that is exposed to the scripts as "workflow" ( http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Workflow_JavaScript_API ) but i do not know how to prepare a package and start a new workflow with this. Might the old way been deprecated ?
In fact the code works and the workflow is assigned but not automatically started. It seems that the starting task should be automatically ended, so the code would be like this:
var propiedades = new Object(); propiedades["bpm:workflowDescription"] = "Solicitud de pago de factura " + document.name; propiedades["bpm:assignee"] = person; propiedades["bnvwf:departmentChief"] = people.getPerson('elacunza'); propiedades["bnvwf:mainChief"] = people.getPerson('jbastarrika'); propiedades["bnvwf:archiveFolder"] = companyhome.childByNamePath("Facturacion/No aceptadas"); propiedades["bnvwf:removeFolder"] = companyhome.childByNamePath("Facturacion/Pendientes de pago"); var workflowFactura = workflow.getDefinitionByName('jbpm$bnvwf:departamentalInvoicePayment'); var paquete = workflow.createPackage(); paquete.addNode(document); var workflowNodoInicial = workflowFactura.startWorkflow(paquete, propiedades); /** * Auto finalizar las tareas de inicio del workflow. **/ var tareas = workflowNodoInicial.getTasks(); for (tarea in tareas) { tareas[tarea].endTask(null); }
Sadly in my case when I use this script the execution fails with the annoying and already typical error that says that transition 'null' can not be signaled.
By the way I made this code after looking at this:
Can someone tell me if they have used this code or a similar one succesfully? When launched from the start advanced workflow wizard everything works right.
This approach is not enough, I mean using a script. In fact, the parameters must be inserted in code, ex. user. Nowadays, this is the only solution, but these option might be included in future versions.
