Please refer the forum discussion below. Someone has mentioned the following steps to create a sample XPDL.

http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10828609#10828609

try copying below XML and save it as .xpdl file. NOTE: This file will work only in together 2.1 version 1.0 Together 2005-07-07. This is a basic 3 step approval process The owner of the workflow process workflow_engine approvers approvers approvers getApprovalStatus() == APPROVED getApprovalStatus() == APPROVED getApprovalStatus() != PENDING getApprovalStatus() == DENIED getApprovalStatus() == DENIED

Hope this helps,

Hi

I am trying to create a simple one step approval workflow wherein the 2nd collaborator in the collaborator list would be added as an approver. I am getting an error with addApprover() function

addApprover(UserAccount );

Here user account is an instance of type UserAccountIbeanIfc

ERROR : Command not found: addApprover( com.frictionless.api.usermgmt.masterdata.UserAccountIBeanImpl )

I tried to use

ANY= 0;

addApprover(UserAccount, new CollaboratorApprovalRuleType(ANY) );

Here I got error: inline evaluation of: ``logMsg = Logger.createLogMessage(session); agreementBean = doc.getRootParentIBe . . . '' : Can't new: void

Am I not using the addApprover() function properly. Is there something I am missing.Kindly let me know.

Hi

I have created a simple workflow prescript to select the 2nd group in the collaborator list as the approver. PFB the script definition

-

import com.frictionless.api.usermgmt.masterdata.*;
logMsg = Logger.createLogMessage(session);
agreementBean = doc.getRootParentIBean();
CollaboratorCollection = agreementBean.getCollaborators();
Collectionbean= CollaboratorCollection.get(1);
CollReference = Collectionbean.getDisplayName();

GroupIBeanHomeIfc home = (GroupIBeanHomeIfc) IBeanHomeLocator.lookup(session, GroupIBeanHomeIfc.sHOME_NAME );
sam_grp = home.findGroup(CollReference);
logMsg.setLogMessage("ErrorWorkflow7"+ sam_grp.getObjectReference());
Logger.info(logMsg);
addApprover(sam_grp.getObjectReference(), new CollaboratorApprovalRuleType(0));

The contract document is getting locked but approve/ reject button is not appearing for approvers. I checked the logs and found the following error:

Hi Experts

I am still not able to figure out how to resolve the error coming with my simple workflow to add approver. Following is the prescript that I am using for the workflow:

import com.frictionless.api.usermgmt.masterdata.*;

logMsg = Logger.createLogMessage(session);
agreementBean = doc.getRootParentIBean();
CollaboratorCollection = agreementBean.getCollaborators();
Collectionbean= CollaboratorCollection.get(1);
CollReference = Collectionbean.getDisplayName();

GroupIBeanHomeIfc home = (GroupIBeanHomeIfc) IBeanHomeLocator.lookup(session, GroupIBeanHomeIfc.sHOME_NAME );
sam_grp = home.findGroup(CollReference);
addApprover(sam_grp.getObjectReference(), new CollaboratorApprovalRuleType(0));

When I check log I see the following error with addApprover() line:

2012-02-13 12:50:35.663 ERROR local4 ScriptEnvironment execute Daemon-028: EVENT_WORKFLOW_ENGINE (-2147483548, 0) event_workflow_engine daemon Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``import com.frictionless.api.usermgmt.masterdata.; logMsg = Logger.createLo . . . '' : Can't new: void : at Line: 15 : in file: inline evaluation of: ``import com.frictionless.api.usermgmt.masterdata.; logMsg = Logger.createLo . . . '' : new CollaboratorApprovalRuleType ( 0 )

Has anybody faced a similar error? Am I missing some steps? kindly let me know how to resolve this

Regards

Shobha
