Multiple button clicks

TS 552, Solaris,

Hi all,

Is it just my workflows or is there an issue with concurrency? My user testers have managed to start multiple workflows simultaneously by clicking buttons twice (three times, four times, etc). Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening? The logical way is to put something in the submit event of the workflow form but I can't see a way of changing that.

Any ideas?

I have just tested the default submit that comes with Teamsite and that exhibits the same performance too. Try submitting a file via the workflow and just sit there hit the submit button as fast as you can. You will get multiple submitted files of the same version.

Any help gratefully received.

John

I don't have any solutions, but yeah, that happens to us, too. It's pretty annoying, but is way down on the list of things to tackle, compared to all the other ts issues...

Just wanted to chime in with a "I hear ya, brutha!". And it's not just you...

Thanks for your solidarity. I have found a 'hack' that IW use to get round this sort of issue. I'm not sure they will approve but when the problem is fixed I will remove the 'hack'. I'll send you an e-mail if you want it.

We use a custom JSP to generate the XML which contains an onclick or whatever that does this:

document.newJob.submit.disabled = true;

I am not sure if/how you would do this with a wft, since you need to do the validation before you disable the button.
