Get users from the workflow

[pp20218]

Hi,

I am running the advanced workflow automatically from a space. I have the Java script that executes after a content is added to the space. My JS code is as below.

var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = person;

Here person stands per the current user. But my requirement is I have to send to a particular user. Consider I have a Group "DEVELOPER" with 5 members in the group.

So how can I get the value of this group("DEVELOPER"); instead of "person"

Thanks
PP

groups.getGroup("Group_DEVELOPER");

Hi,
Thanx for the reply. But the code is not working.I am getting the error. When I am selecting "person" it is working as expected.
code for "person"
var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:review";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = document.name;
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] =person;
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);

for the group
var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:review";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = document.name;
var approveUsers=groups.getGroup("Group_DEVELOPER");
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] =approveUsers;
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);


NOTE: I am having a group called "Group_DEVELOPER" in alfresco.
I am getting the below error

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Now the error is gone but the workflow is not getting initiated.

I have the below js code(This gets executed when a content is added to the space)

var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:review";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = document.name;
var approveUsers=groups.getGroup("Group_DEVELOPER");
workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] =approveUsers;
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);

I am executing the Approve/reject workflow. So when the content is uploaded the workflow is not initiated.
Please provide me your thoughts.

Thanx in adv.

Hi friend,
You can get all member in group then use bpm_assignee normal:

var members = people.getMembers(people.getGroup("GROUP_DEVELOPER"));‍‍‍

You can loop Array members normal

good luck

Hi vinaxwater,

Thanx for the reply.
Below is my code

var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:review";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = document.name;
var members = people.getMembers(people.getGroup("GROUP_DEVELOPER"));
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] =members;
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);


But I am getting the below error.
A system error happened during the operation: 07050025 Failed to execute script 'workspace://SpacesStore/0ac35339-64a4-4f39-8e63-9911cb89aa5b': Group is a mandatory parameter


Can you please provide me the solution.If possible share me any doc related to this API.

Thanx in adv.
