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

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.

Can anyone help me out please!!

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.

Hi friend,

please check hard code for view your workflow action normal with below code!

var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:review";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = document.name;

workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = "admin";

var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

if it's work fine then change with this 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"));
for(int i = 0; i < members.length; i++) {
logger.log(members.get(i)); //print out log in catalina.out
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = members.get(i);
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

goodluck

Hi friend,
You check again workfow started work fine with start with content. May be that workflow not work

File contain define all parameter in workflow:

alfresco/projects/repository/config/alfresco/model/bpmModel.xml‍

File define file xml workflow:

alfresco/projects/repository/config/alfresco/bootstrap-content.xml‍

File define file control workflow task:

alfresco/projects/repository/config/alfresco/workflow/workflowModel.xml‍

Please define new workflow work fine. I don't use workflow default of alfresco so i not sure it work fine ^^

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I checked, everything is fine.But when I use the below code I am still not able to finish my job. Again I have the same error as described above.

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"));
for(int i = 0; i < members.length; i++) {
logger.log(members.get(i)); //print out log in catalina.out
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = members.get(i);
var futureDate = new Date();
futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 7);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.execute(document);
}

Can you pls help.
Also in the Javascript API tutorial I saw a People API can you pls clarify how to use it.

Thanks again
