LAPI and workflows

Phillip_Townley

Having initiated a workflow using LAPI is it possible to intercept a step (again using LAPI) when it becomes active and re-assign it to a user based on some business logic.I assume I should be using the function ReassignTask but what I am not sure about is how do I poll for when a task has become active during the lifetime of a workflow. (or am I looking at it the wrong way?)Thanks for any help.

Message from Carsten Kulms via eLinkI'm not familiar with LAPI's workflow functionality, but I think you canpoll for status changes of a task with the ListTaskStatus function. Itsreturns (among other information) a field "SubWorkTask_Status". Onepossible status is "SUBWORKTASK_STATUS_READY": "task is in a user'sInbox, ready to be worked upon".There are other functions by which you can obtain the current status oftasks: ListWorkflowInbox (requires to impersonate the user) andListWorkStatus. Which fits bets depends on your use case, I think.However, I'm not sure if polling for the status is sufficient.
