issues: deploy workflows after process automation installation

haozhou

When deploying the “Review by Reviewer” workflow during deploying the web services workflows for process automation,
(question1) which path in the tab “MediaBin Asse Move Properties” should I fill?
I try the default value “Media Database\Uploads”, but get a java.lang.NullPointerException. During installing mediabin asset server, I don’t change upload path and let installation wizard to create for me.

when deploying the “Asset Upload” workflow, I follow the installation manual to open Asset Upload.xpd of the folder VMB LiquidOffice Extensions\Workflows. Then double-click the MediaBin Asset Insertion control , it does not display its properties window. right click this control and “choose Task Properties …”, it also does not popup its properties window. please advise.

For your second issue, try closing/reopening the workflow or restarting the APA Studio client. On occassion I have the same problem with the first task not displaying properties and one of those steps usually correct the problem.

Is set properties.bat executed successfully? Did you update the studioresources.jsp file correctly?

Enable Java console and reopen the workflow and see what's getting logged in Java console.

haozhou

Yes. set properties.bat is executed successfully. and also follow installation manual to update the studioresources.jsp file correctly.
After enabling java console, during starting process studio, java console throws exceptions, please see the following pa_err_s1, but process studio still is started, then I try to deploy "Review by Reviewer" workflow and input the path "Media Database\Staging\Uploads", click apply or ok button, java console throws exceptions, please see the following pa_err_s2, and process studio also popup exception messages, please see the following pa_err_s3

Looks like StudioResources.jsp is not updated correctly.

haozhou

I copy the User, Password, and URL values from MBConnect.properties
and paste them into the studioresources.jsp and remove backslash(\) from these fields. then restart process automation service.

When deploying "Review by Reviewer" workflow, I can successfully finish the first task "select a different user to review request" in the control 3 "Meidabin Form (Reviewer)", process automation studio does not throw any exception.

I fail at the second task "specify the mediaBin repository path for the asset review staging folder". I don't know which path I should input, so try "MediaBin Database\Staging\Uploads", "MBWS\Staging\Uploads", "\\AnsslerIdol\MBWS\Staging\Uploads", all these paths fail. process automation studio throw the above these exceptions.

You will get this error with any workflow which is getting the details (folders\tasks\collections) in the Workflow task properties.

The cipher error in stack trace is related to the StudioResources.jsp file details (Username\Password\URL).

Only escape \ needs to be deleted.
