pooledactors group name literal

rhofkens

Hello,

the new pooled tasks functionality in 2.0 is very useful. I've managed to get it working in my customs flows with:

   <swimlane name="document-managers">
        <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <pooledactors>#{bpm_groupAssignee}</pooledactors>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The assigned group is selected in the property sheet when starting the workflow.
According to the wiki, it's possible to use a group name literal here as well, this would mean the user doesn't have to pick one himself. I've tried:

   <swimlane name="document-managers">
        <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <pooledactors>document-managers</pooledactors>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Using this swimlane leads to an error, even though the document-managers group exists in the repo:

16:24:15,836 ERROR [org.alfresco.web.ui.common.Utils] A system error happened during the operation: Failed to signal transition 'open_signup' from workflow task 'jbpm$25'
org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: Failed to signal transition 'open_signup' from workflow task 'jbpm$25'
   at org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.JBPMEngine.endTask(JBPMEngine.java:1064)
   at org.alfresco.repo.workflow.WorkflowServiceImpl.endTask(WorkflowServiceImpl.java:347)
‍‍‍‍‍‍

I've also played around a bit with the new Javascript getGroup function but I don't seem to get it right. Any ideas?

cheers,
Roeland.

Try this. If your group is document-managers

<pooledactors>#{people.getGroup('GROUP_document-managers')}</pooledactors>

Ok, that does the trick. I missed the "GROUP_" part.

thanks!

Roeland.

You can also shorten it to:

<pooledactors>GROUP_document-managers</pooledactors>

Hi,

I'm trying to do the same thing but cannot get the job to start in a pool. It always gets assigned to the user who started the workflow (in my case admin, as its fired off by an action, in java, behind the scenes when a file is placed into a folder). I've tried exlicitly stating the pool in the initiator to <pooledactors>GROUP_Specials-Team1-Artists</pooledactors> so the start-state gets the job assigned to the pool, but it just ignores it.

Any help appretiated.

Jim
