Copying/Moving of documents in workflow package not working

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

Sorry to bother you with a problem that, from what I've read in other threads in this forum, seems to be easy to solve. Unfortunately, all the code snippets won't work for me. All I am trying to do is, in an extended version of the Review & Approve workflow, to copy the documents attached to the workflow to a backup folder when the request is rejected.

My code:

<transition name="reject" to="rejected">
        <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
           <script>
              var myRoot=bpm_context.parent; // a workaround for the missing company_home root object 
              var myUserhome=initiator.properties['cm:homeFolder'];
              var archiveFolder = myRoot.childByNamePath("Arbeitsbereich/Personal/Personalanforderungen/Abgelehnt");
                  for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++) {
                     bpm_package.children[i].copy(archiveFolder);
                  }
           </script>
         </action>
        </transition>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It won't work with the admin user as initiator and assignee of the tasks as well, so I guess it's not a problem with permissions. I've tried different folders as well, e.g. user's home directory. I am not even getting an error message, it is just not copying (or moving, as I've replaced the copy statement with move) the file which is a simple word doc.

Maybe I'm just too stupid… Hope somebody can help!

Thanks, Dennis

Hi Dennis,

I've noticed that Alfresco stops executing javascripts in workflows as soon as it encounters a blanco line or comments.
When you put logging statements before and after each line, you will notice that only your first line is being executed and all the rest is neglected.
Remove the comments from your script and you will at least get some action or error message.

Good luck,


Grimme
