Getting A Workflow

I'm having trouble getting ahold of workflows. I checked this forum and saw Kim Zuters topic "Getting comments in a workflow " which had the below code

WorkItemResult result = wfSvc.listWorkItems(null);
List<WorkItem> items = result.getWorkItems();

for (WorkItem item : items) {
// Attached data
List<ApplicationData> dataList =
wfSvc.getWorkItemData(item.getProcessID(), item.getSubProcessID(), item.getID());
}

However her code does not work for me (I'm using C#, and don't seem to have access to an equivalent for "result.getWorkItems"). I also tried the following results = fWorkflowService.ListWorkItems(fWorkflowAuthentication, null);PageHandle pHandle = results.PageHandle
I also tried intiializing the pageHandle instead of using null, but that made no difference. In both cases pHandle came back with number of pages = 0. Remembering that page handles can be used to search members I tired that but couldn't find an equivalent function for Workflows. Essentially I just want to be able to retrieve a Workflow and it's data given a Workflow ID.

Would fWorkflowService.GetWorkItemData be sufficient for this? the only problem with at GetWorkItemData is that I don't know the activity code of the Workflow I want to retrieve

Any help would be greatly appreicated, thanks in advance

Hi, Jonathon.

I think the WorkflowService service's GetProcessData method or GetProcessStatus method might might be more what you're looking for, depending on what you want to do with the workflow. If you want to access the Workflow Map, use can use the GetProcessDefinition method.

Hey Scott, that did the trick. However, I'm wondering is there a specific function to use to change the Workflow properties? What im doing is accessing a Workflow using GetProcessStatus. Theres a propery called DueDate that i want to change, and since I'm sure just assigning a new Due date to the data structure return from GetProcessStatus wouldnt work, how would I do it?

Thanks

Hi, Jonathon.

The WorkflowService service cannot be used to update the due dates of Workflows. The due dates are determined based on the configuration of the steps in the Workflow and when they are completed, etc.

I don't believe the Livelink UI allows you to adjust due dates, either (but I'll admit to a limited amount of knowledge in that area).

Thanks,

Scott

ah alright thanks Scott. Guess I'll to see if there is some other way to do it.
