r_package_id is null ???

fenil

I'm trying to have a custom workflow method add some text as a comment for the next activity (which is a manual activity). This occurs in middle of the workflow. There are two packages, both are visible in the auto-activity and both have a document (one document in each package). The issue i ran into is that I'm unable to get the package id of either of the packages from that activity and without getting the package Id I cannot IDfPackage.appendNote method.

Here is a snippet of my code (simplified). Please advice if this is possible or if i'm making any mistakes.

i have removed all the log statements and NCRConstants.EMPTY_ID is equal to DfId.DF_NULLID_STR (0000000000000000)

		IDfActivity act = wi.getActivity();
		String comment = "This is a comment";
		for (int i = 0; i < act.getPackageCount(); i++)
		{
			IDfId packageId = act.getPackageId(i);
			if (packageId.getId() != null
					&& !packageId.getId().equals(NCRConstants.EMPTY_ID))
			{
				IDfPackage packageObj = wi.getPackage(packageId);
				String packageName = packageObj.getPackageName();
				if (packageName.equals("package name"))
				{
					packageObj.appendNote(comment, false);
				}
			}
		}

based on my log statements, the package id was always '0000000000000000'

I aldo ran some DQL and the value r_package_id in dm_activity was also always 0000000000000000 (which does not make any sense to me). I did filter it based on the workflow id.

Thanks a lot in advance !!

Oops ... did not realize my code got formatted in some wierd way. Sorry about that.

IDfActivity act = wi.getActivity();

String comment = "This is a comment";

for (int i = 0; i < act.getPackageCount(); i++)

{

        IDfId packageId = act.getPackageId(i);

        if (packageId.getId() != null

                    && !packageId.getId().equals(NCRConstants.EMPTY_ID))

            {

                 IDfPackage packageObj = wi.getPackage(packageId);

                 String packageName = packageObj.getPackageName();

                 if (packageName.equals("ncr"))

                {

                    packageObj.appendNote(comment, false);

                }

            }

}
