How to cancel a Workflow using an Automation Chain

[klebervz_]

I have the following Automation Chain:

Fetch -> Context documents

Workflow Context -> Cancel Workflow | id = @{workflowInstanceId}

I want to cancel this workflow, but I've got the following error

****** chain ****** Name: UA_Approved Exception: OperationException Caught error: Failed to invoke operation Context.CancelWorkflow Caused by: [Error: unresolvable property or identifier: workflowInstanceId] [Near : {... workflowInstanceId ....}] ^ [Line: 1, Column: 1] ****** Hierarchy calls ****** org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.core.operations.FetchContextDocument org.nuxeo.ecm.automation.core.operations.document.SetDocumentLifeCycle org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.routing.core.api.operation.CancelWorkflowOperation

Hello,

did you get it work ? I'm facing the same problem.

Hi,

I've found one solution, works in a nominal cas but I'm not sure it's optimal:

• Fetch > Context Document
• Fetch > Query :
• Select * from DocumentRoute where docri:participatingDocuments IN ('@ {Document.id}') AND ecm:currentLifeCycleState = 'running'
• Workflow Context > Cancel Workflow :
• id = @{Document.id}

workflowInstanceId is only available after and in the same operation chain than the [Start Workflow](http
