Rejecting to specific acttivity from an auto activity's method

srikanthmellacheruvu

Summarizing the issue:

A workflow has Manual activity followed by an Auto activity and then by thrid activity

The java class for the auto activity should send the control back to the Manual activity based on some if()..else()

Below is the approach tried:

set workitem.return_value = 1 in the java

Set transition tab condition: if dmi_workitem.return_value = 0 then goto the thrid activity

else goto the manual activity

But it did not work

In both the case if().... and else().... control is sent back to the third activity

Any alternate ideas, would be helpful

A better solution (may be specific to my current scenario):

in the java:

if( null != id)

{

doc.setString("someattribute",chronicleid);

.....

}

else

{

doc.setString("someattribute","0000000000");

}

Now, in the workflow template - activity's transition conditions - include the condition:

if(item.someattribute = "0000000000") then rejectactivity

else

forward activity

here item is the name given to the package name that flows through the activities

This did work for me

Hi,

You can set some process variable value in your auto activty and do your transition based on the process variable.

Or you can even select the next activity inside your auto activty in DFC APIs.

1) Please share details on the process variables usage, as I have not done earlier

2) Will you be please more elaborate on the DFC APIs?

Below approach is not working

rejectActivitiesList = workitem.getRejectActivities();if(null !=rejectActivitiesList){ for(int count=0;count<rejectActivitiesList.getCount();count++) {

bypassToRejectActivityList.append(rejectAcitivity);

}

if (null !=bypassToRejectActivityList))

{

workitem.setOutputByActivities(bypassToRejectActivityList);

}

if (null != rejectAcitivity && rejectAcitivity.getObjectName().equals(activityNameToSendBack)) {

IDfActivity rejectAcitivity =(IDfActivity)rejectActivitiesList.get(count);

bypassToRejectActivityList = new DfList();

Below trail did not work, is there any thing missing?

1) In the auto activity Tranisition tab:

chosen "Let the activity's perofrmer choose"

chosen "select upto 1 next activities"

2) In the auto activity java :

String strWFId = workitem.getWorkflowId().toString();

if(null!=strWFId)
{
workflowObject=(IDfWorkflow)session.getObject(new DfId(strWFId));
}

if(null!=workflowObject)
{
System.out.println("Workflow Name = "+workflowObject.getObjectName() + " has "+workflowObject.getActivityCount()+" no.of activities");

   for(int activityCount=0;activityCount < workflowObject.getActivityCount();activityCount++)
   {
     System.out.println("Activity Name = "+workflowObject.getActName(activityCount));

     if(workflowObject.getActName(activityCount).equals(activityNameToSendBack))
     {
         System.out.println("Activity match found for "+workflowObject.getActName(activityCount));

         activityObject=(IDfActivity)session.getObject(workflowObject.getActDefId(activityCount));
         System.out.println("retrieved the activity object - id = "+activityObject.getObjectId().toString()+"   name = "+activityObject.getObjectName());

        bypassToRejectActivityList = new DfList();
        bypassToRejectActivityList.append(activityObject);
        System.out.println("bypassToRejectActivityList is prepared and now has "+bypassToRejectActivityList.getCount()+" no.of elements");
   }
    }
}

Hi,

can you try this ?

IDfList fwdActivityList=workitem.getForwardActivities();

String strForwardActivityName="<your next activity>";

IDfList nextActivityList = new DfList();

for(int i=0;i<fwdActivityList.getCount();i++)

{

IDfActivityEx actObj = (IDfActivityEx)fwdActivityList.get(i);

String strActName = actObj.getObjectName();

if (strActName.equalsIgnoreCase(strForwardActivityName))

{

nextActivityList.append(actObj);

}

workitem.setOutputByActivities(nextActivityList);
