Hi all,
I'm working on a Workflow and I have some questions.
My workflow looks like this (in fact it's a real basic one) :
[img]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9379/workflow.png[/img]
So, the file come in, if the custom status is "Pending" the file enter in the validation process, otherwise it goes directly to the end (that works fine).
Then, a validator has the possibility to modify and approve the document or reject it so that the initiator has to make the corrections.
I would like to give to the Validator the possibility to valid the file directly even though the status is "Pending". The workflow has to set the file to "In" before the end (in the "IsValid" node).
Another possibility: the initiator can put directly the status to "In" to avoid the validation.
Here is the code :
The workflow is launched by a .js file and it works very well.
Now I have 3 problems (I couldn't put the three in the title of the topic
)
1.- After the "Correction" task I made an update of the "statusValue" variable, but I doesn't work because it always returns to "Validation" (never get out of the loop).
2.- "bpm_package.children[0].properties["af:status"] = "In";" change noting and let the value to "Pending". Ok, you will say "easy, put read,write instead of read" but if I do so, I have this error :
3.- I would like to launch the workflow when a file is added, the problem is that it is launch just at the moment the file is created and doesn't give the time to edit the custom properties I defined. So although if you put "In" at the creation of the file, it will goes in the Validation part because the default value at the creation is "Pending" (I hope I make it understandable).
So sorry for my bad English, I hope that some of you have one or more answer to give to me.
Thanks :mrgreen:

3.- I would like to launch the workflow when a file is added, the problem is that it is launch just at the moment the file is created and doesn't give the time to edit the custom properties I defined. So although if you put "In" at the creation of the file, it will goes in the Validation part because the default value at the creation is "Pending" (I hope I make it understandable).
So sorry for my bad English, I hope that some of you have one or more answer to give to me.
Thanks :mrgreen:
thanks for your answer
But what I didn't get is that in the details form each file you have that, there must be a way to get this values.

Ok, my Java skills are very low, so I didn't know if I can do something with that 
At the moment, I think the easiest way for me is to add some "workflowLock" attribute to my file that I set to "true" when I get in and "false" when I get out of the workflow.
Not really elegant, but it should work.

I have a brand new question
I have set a timer in one of my workflows. In the actions there are again my status change, but it don't take effect.
So I though, it's maybe a rights problem, so I will do something like :
I have set a timer in one of my workflows. In the actions there are again my status change, but it don't take effect.
<timer name="afwf:pickupTimeOut" duedate="1 minutes" transition="reject">
<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
<runas>admin</runas>
<script>
<expression>
bpm_package.children[0].properties["af:status"] = "Available";
bpm_package.children[0].save();
if (logger.isLoggingEnabled()) {
logger.log("\nBorrowProcess : Time out, status set to back to 'Available'. This Workflow was launched by " + initiator.properties['firstName'] + " " + initiator.properties['lastName'] + ".");
}
</expression>
</script>
</action>
</timer>
So I though, it's maybe a rights problem, so I will do something like :
<type name="afwf:pickupTimeOut">
<parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>
<overrides>
<property name="bpm:packageItemActionGroup">
<default>edit_package_item_actions</default>
</property>
</overrides>
</type>
