Testing Start Review & Approve Workflow

jlae

Hello,

I'm running Alfresco 2.0 on Tomcat and I'm trying to test the 'Start Advanced Workflow' feature using the tutorial pdf in Guest Home, but I seem to have a problem.

Upon starting the advanced workflow, in step 2. Workflow options, there should be some widget to select the assignee for the next step of the workflow, but I only see the separator 'Users and their Roles' and nothing underneath. Is this correct?

Checking catalina.out I see the following message

17:10:57,693 WARN  [org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.property.UIAssociation] Failed to find association definition for association 'bpm:assignee'‍

Shouldn't this work out of the box?

If it matters, I haven't installed from the bundle, but on an existing Tomcat using the WAR file.

Thanks for your time and thanks in advance for your help, as it is much appreciated.

Joao

It seems that you have not defined this aspect in your WorkflowModel.xml file for your task, for example:

<type name="MyTask_wf:MyTaskOne">
  <parent>MyTask_bpm:MyWorkflowTask</parent>
    <mandatory-aspects>
      <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
    </mandatory-aspects>
</type>

Yes, it should work out-of-the-box. Check your config is also for v2.0.

Yes, I was missing that mandatory aspect. Thanks!

But what I do not understand is why the default workflows, like adhoc task, show the same issue… Now the Advanced Workflow I designed is working.

I've got to investigate a bit more.

Okay, this keeps getting weirder.

Without any other workflows besides the ones that come with Alfresco, I've got no warning on the catalina.out.

But then, I've created a workflow in the <extension> folder, created an appropriate *-context.xml with a workflow deployer, referencing the process definition, task model and properties file.

What happens now is that the Review and Approve and Adhoc Task lose their Web Client Task dialogs, meaning I can't select the assignee on either of these workflow's first task.

To me this is really weird as I think I've followed the instructions on the wiki pretty closely.

Any ideas?

Disregard my last post.

I was missing the first task, in the start node, in the task model. Basically, it caused all this.

Thanks anyway
