Workflow updating document properties

crono40

Hello,

I have a question. I want to use the advanced workflow "Send Documents for review (Request document approval from one or more colleagues)".

When I put the document in my folder, i set a value to the document description (draft).

I would like to update this value, when i start a workflow on this document.

Finally, I would like to update it again when the workflow is validated.

Is there a way to do it easily ?

Thanks for yours answers.

Hi,

you can do this, for this you need to add logic in activiti bpmn file.

On statrt workflow you can change the status to like "In Review"
After approve you can change the staus to "Approved"

 <process id="<id>" name="<name>">

        <extensionElements>
            <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                          for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
            bpm_package.children[j].properties["preifx:status"]="In Review";
            bpm_package.children[j].save();
         }
                     </activiti:string>
                  </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
        </extensionElements>

                        if(task.getVariableLocal('reviewBNOutcome') == 'Approve') {

               bpm_package.children[j].properties["preifx:status"]="Approved";
               bpm_package.children[j].save();
            }
                        }

Hi,

Thanks for your answer lementree. Could you tell me which file I have to update for this ? I suppose it is adhoc.bpmn20.xml located in \tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow.

Waiting for your answer.

lementree

Yes, and after modifing you need to make change in tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\bootstrap-context.xml to re-deploy the workflow.

I modified my adhoc.bpmn20.xml file. I have now :

You should redeploy the workflow definition,please visit http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp and execute redeploy command.

lementree

Hi,

I gave you just example code, you need to replace that with your contentmodel and properties.
Do you have knowledge in Activiti workflow?.

In the above replace

<customStatusProprty>‍

with your custom model property or some property to save the status.

In the bootstrap-context.xml file you need to make

<prop key="redeploy">true</prop>‍

in corrresponding bpmn20.xml entry i.e

                <props>

                    <prop key="engineId">activiti</prop>

                    <prop key="location">alfresco/workflow/adhoc.bpmn20.xml</prop>

                    <prop key="mimetype">text/xml</prop>

                    <prop key="redeploy">false</prop>

                </props>

Ok. Thanks for your help. I succeeded doing it right. I had to modify the parallel-review.bpmn20.xml.

Here the first part of the file :

<process isExecutable="true" id="activitiParallelReview" name="Parallel Review And Approve Activiti Process">

        <extensionElements>
            <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                     <activiti:string>
                          execution.setVariable('wf_approveCount', 0);
                        execution.setVariable('wf_rejectCount', 0);
                        
                        execution.setVariable('wf_actualPercent', 0);
                        execution.setVariable('wf_actualRejectPercent', 0);
                        
                          execution.setVariable('wf_reviewerCount', bpm_assignees.size());
                          execution.setVariable('wf_requiredPercent', wf_requiredApprovePercent);
                  
                  for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
                     var doc = bpm_package.children[j];
                     doc.properties['cm:description'] = "EN COURS DE REVISION";
                     doc.save();
                  }
                  

                     </activiti:string>
                  </activiti:field>
            </activiti:executionListener>
        </extensionElements>

So now i've got an oter question. Is it possible at the same time, to create a new version of the document ?

Many thanks for your help, both of you.

kaynezhang

Do you mean creating a new version of the document that the workflow action on?

Yes of course ,but you should make it versionable(if it is not already versionable),below is sample code

if(!doc.isVersioned)
{
   doc.addAspect("cm:versionable");
} 
// check it out and update  the working copy
var workingCopy = doc.checkout();
workingCopy.content = update working copy content";
workingCopy.properties['cm:description'] = "EN COURS DE REVISION";
// check it in
doc = workingCopy.checkin();

Yes thanks kaynezhang. I did it, helping me with this page : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API_Cookbook#Create_Document.2C_Make_it_Versionable.2C_Modify_It

However, I have an other problem. When I start my workflow, the document description is updated and the version is changed (1.0 and become 1.1). I would like if the document is rejected, the document go back to 1.0 version. When I did it manually in Alfresco Share, the document version is going to 1.2

I tried removing doc of bpm_package and recreate it, to have file with 1.0 version, with this code

var files = [];
for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
bpm_package.children[j].properties['cm:description'] = "DRAFT!";
files[j] = bpm_package.children[j];
bpm_package.children[j].remove();
bpm_package.addNode(files[j]);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But when i start my workflow i have a permission error

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Exception while invoking TaskListener: Exception while invoking TaskListener: 04210074 Failed to execute supplied script: 04210073 Access refusé. Vous n'avez pas la permission de réaliser cette opération.‍

Any ideas to solve it ? Thanks a lot

kaynezhang

Why not revert the document to previous version.when the document is rejected

for(var j=0; j&lt;bpm_package.children.length; j++){
var doc = bpm_package.children[j];
doc.revert();
}
