How to re-assign wf activity to multiple members programatically?

Dejan Lipovec

 

Hi,

Sorry for posting this question twice, but I put in a wrong forum (Content Services) so you can delete it there. Thanks.

 

I am having trouble re-assigning specific activity to a multiple members. I use following code:

 

OpenText.Livelink.Service.WorkflowService.WorkflowService wfService = new WorkflowService();

foreach (int memberID in memberlist)

{

       wfService.ReassignActivity(wfID, subWfID, activityID, memberID);

}

 

Code sets activity to the LAST member in memberlist, but I want to set it to all members in memberlist. Is this possible programatically?

I know it's possible to set multiple users in content server workflow painter activity settings where I can set "multiple users/groups" without problems.

 

 

I also tried to use following method:

OpenText.Livelink.Service.WorkflowService.WorkflowService wfService = new WorkflowService();

wfService.Authentication = GetAuthentication(Enums.AuthenticationType.Admin);

wfService.DelegateWorkItem(wfID, subWfID, procInst.Activities[i].ID, memberID);

..but I'm getting following error...

You do not have permission to delegate this WorkItem

As you can see I am authenticated as admin user so question is :

1.) is delegateworkitem the right method to assign activity to multiple users?

2.) why am I getting this permission error? Should I do something else first? Did I forget something?

 

Thx for help

It looks like the Workflow Service does not allow you to assign an activity to multiple users/groups.

 

The ReassignActivity method will assign the activity to a single user or group but cannot handle multiple users or groups.

 

I've added a bug under LESAPI-1462 to capture this.

 

Thanks.
