Delete Associated Workflows after document has been deleted

abbask01

I have a requirement that if a document has been deleted in the repository then all the workflow that are associated with it should get deleted (each workflow package will always have a single document). Originally, on delete of a document the workflow is left in a hanging state and the reference of the document gets removed from the workflow side (bpm_package).

I tried to implement this by using rule/action (items are deleted or leave this folder) - was able to find workflows in js and cancel them, but it does not delete the document nor the workflow. on checking the XHR request i was able to find out that a concurrency exception occurs between the action and onDelete policy.

how do i delete/cancel/close the associated workflows of a document

PFB script to cancel workflow

/**

* js function call on 'onDeleteNode' to cancel all running workflows

*/

function cancelWorkflow() {

   var document = behaviour.args[0];
   logger.warn("doc: " + document.name);

   document.activeWorkflows.forEach(function(activeWf) {
         activeWf.cancel(); / / also tried activeWf.delete();
   });
}

You have to combine both method in that policy.

beforeDeleteNode()  will give the noderef and assign it as global variable use that noderef in  onDeleteNode()  method to delete that noderef.
