6.4 Workflow Services

Workflow services are those used to manage workflows, including adding a workflow, adding tokens, and enabling or disabling a workflow. Frequently used services are marked with an asterisk (*) in the following list.

All of these services have a Service Class of Workflow Service.

The following services are described in this section:

6.4.1 ADD_WORKFLOW

Service that creates a new workflow. This service is executed by the Workflow Admin applet. Workflows and sub-workflows can be added, edited, enabled, disabled, and deleted from the Workflow Admin administration applet.

The most likely error is when the workflow name is not unique.

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • dWfName: The workflow name.

  • dWfDescription: The workflow description.

  • dWfType: The workflow type such as Basic or Criteria.

  • dSecurityGroup: The security group such as Public or Secure.

  • dWfCriteriaName: The workflow criteria field.

  • dWfCriteriaOperator: The workflow criteria operator matches.

  • dWfCriteriaValue: The workflow criteria value.

Example

IdcService=ADD_WORKFLOW
dWfName=test_workflow
dSecurityGroup=Public
dWfType=Criteria
dWfCriteriaName=dDocAuthor
dWfCriteriaOperator=matches
dWfCriteriaValue=sysadmin
dWfDescription=testing workflow

6.4.2 ADD_WORKFLOW_SCRIPT

Service used to add a script template for a workflow.

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • wfScriptName: Name of the script template to be used.

  • wfScriptDescription: Description used for the script.

6.4.3 ADD_WORKFLOW_TOKEN

Service used to add tokens for workflows.

Service Class: Workflow Service

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • wfToken: Default token to use to create the new token.

  • wfTokenName: Name of the new token to be added.

  • wfTokenDescription: Description used for the token.

6.4.4 ADD_WORKFLOWALIASES

Service that adds a user or an alias to a workflow step. To add a user, set the dAliasType parameter to user. To add an alias, set dAliasType to alias. The most likely error is when the specified workflow does not exist.

Note:

The alias is not defined here. The alias must already exist. It is usually created using the UserAdmin applet.

Service Class: Workflow Service

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • aliases: The alias name.

  • dAliasType: The assigned alias type. Values can be alias or user.

  • dWfID: The workflow ID.

  • dWfName: The workflow name.

  • dWfStepID: The workflow contribution stage ID. This auto-generated value can be retrieved from the database table. The Content Server automatically assigns dWfStepID for that contribution stage.

Example

IdcService=ADD_WORKFLOWALIASES
dWfName=mktg_review
dWfID=12
dAliasType=user
aliases=sammy
dWfStepID=26

6.4.5 ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENT

Service that adds a new content item to a Basic workflow. The content item specified by dDocName does not have to exist in the system.

This service is called from the Workflow Admin applet by creating a Basic workflow and clicking New in the Content section. This service executes the ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENT_SUB subservice.

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • dWfName: The workflow name.

  • dDocName: The Content ID of the content item.

Example

IdcService=ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENT
dWfName=mktg_review
dDocName=test1234

6.4.6 ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENT_SUB

Subservice called by ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENTS and ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENT to add a content item to the Basic workflow.

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

6.4.7 ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENTS

Service that adds the selected content items to a Basic workflow. The list of items to add is specified in the dDocName parameter.

This service is called from the Workflow Admin applet by creating a Basic workflow and clicking Select in the Content section.

This service executes the subservice ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENT_SUB.

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • dWfName: The workflow name.

  • dDocName: The Content ID of the content items to be added. If multiple items are to be added, use a tab-separated list.

Example

IdcService=ADD_WORKFLOWDOCUMENTS
dWfName=mktg_review
dDocName=test_000035
dataSource=Documents
resultName=DOCUMENTS
dWfType=Basic
whereClause=dSubscriptionType='test'
dWfDirectory=public

6.4.8 ADD_WORKFLOWSTEP

Service that creates a new workflow step.

  • These parameters can be executed in a browser environment using the Workflow Admin applet. For example, the dWfStepName, dWfStepDescription, and dWfStepType entries correspond to the Name entry, the Description field, and the Type drop-down list of the Workflow Admin applet Edit Step Reviewer screen.

  • Setting dWfStepWeight to a numeric value is the same as entering a value in the field associated with the 'At least this many reviewers' option for Workflow Steps in the Workflow Admin applet. If defined, the workflow passes to the next step as soon as the number of users specified in dWfStepWeight have approved the revision.

  • Setting dWfStepIsAll to 1 (true) is the same as enabling the 'All Reviewers' option for Workflow Steps in the Workflow Admin applet. If set to true, all users assigned to the step must approve the revision before the workflow passes to the next step.

  • The most likely error is when the specified workflow does not exist or when the specified step is not unique.

Location: IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow.htm

Additional Required Service Parameters

  • dWfName: The workflow name.

  • dWfStepName: The workflow step name.

  • dWfStepDescription: The step description.

  • dWfStepType: The workflow step type:

    • Reviewer: Approves or rejects the revision.

    • Reviewer/Contributor: Can edit the revision and approves or rejects it.

  • dWfStepIsAll:

    • 1 (true): All users assigned to the step must approve the revision before the workflow passes to the next step.

    • 0 (false): The number of approvals required is specified by the dWfStepWeight parameter.

  • dWfStepWeight: The number of reviewers that must approve the revision before the workflow passes to the next step.

  • If dWfStepIsAll is 1 (true), this parameter is ignored. If dWfStepIsAll is 0 (false), this parameter is enabled.

  • Setting this parameter to zero (0) will notify reviewers that the revision has reached the step, but reviewers will not be able to approve, reject, or edit the revision at that step. The workflow will pass to the next step automatically.

Optional Service Parameters

  • wfEntryScript: The step entry script.

  • wfExitScript: The step exit script.

  • wfUpdateScript: The step update script.

    Note:

    Scripts must be placed within <$ and $> delimiters. For example, <$if ConditionExpression$>.

Service that modifies the criteria for an existing Criteria workflow. Editing the criteria may include changing the workflow to a project or collaboration workflow, or changing the metadata conditions that a content item must meet to enter the workflow.

Two types of Criteria workflows exist: criteria, which is a workflow that requires a metadata condition and subworkflow, which does not have a metadata condition. Because of the two types of workflows, dWfType is a required parameter to designate which type of Criteria workflow is to be used.

This service is executed by the Workflow Admin applet. The most likely error is a workflow name that does not exist or a user failing the security check.

Service Class: Workflow Service
