Workflow Runtime States and Workitem Runtime States

hi, i am trying to complete some workitems programmatically.i mean by clicking a button calls method of workitem and workflow methods(acquire,resume,resume all etc.) The runtime states table of the workitems and runtime states of workflow which the workitem depends on is below:

Workflow Runtime State Workitem Runtime State

------------------------------------ -------------------------------------

1(Running) 5(APaused)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1(Running) 0(Dormant)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1(Running) 1(Acquired)

My problem is:

1-Which Runtime state pair can be completed by using(acquire,resume, complete etc.) and what is this methods?

2- which method(acquire,resume, complete and what else?) changes the workflow and workitem runtime states to which runtime state?

Best Regards.

Try reading the Content Server Fundamentals manual. It describes in detail the acceptable transition states for workflow items.

You can get the workitems (say based upon a query) and get the workflow object from it.

This workflow can then be operated (say aborted or destroyed etc.).

IDfWorkitem workitem = (IDfWorkitem) m_session.getObject(new DfId(id));

wfObj = (IDfWorkflow) m_session.getObject(workitem.getWorkflowId());

//Abort and Destroy workflow

wfObj.abort();

wfObj.destroy();

For workitems, r_runtime_state= 5(Apaused) means the workflow has been in a stuck state for some reason (could be an auto activity time out or a jms crash etc.)

I assume you are trying to terminate the workflows, in which case you should be aborting them.

If you wish to resume them, please refer the Object Reference Guide for more details.
