You learn how to delete a workflow process.
It is assumed you have completed the other workflow tutorials in this section.
Once a workflow process has been started it may be deleted at any time.
- Log into the SkyVault Share interface.
-
Check the number of workflow process tasks currently listed, or, if the tasks are no
longer needed, delete them all (you can do this by clicking on View
Workflow, and then clicking Cancel Workflow).
The main reason for doing this step is to make sure that when the following code is run, it does not result in a new workflow process being listed. The code actually creates a process as before, and then immediately deletes it (along with its associated tasks).
-
In the project you worked on previously, replace the createWorkflow
method with the following code. This code sets up a workflow process, starts it, and then
deletes it:
- (void) createWorkflow { NSLog(@"*********** createWorkflow"); // create service SkyVaultWorkflowService *workflowService = [[AlfrescoWorkflowService alloc] initWithSession:self.session]; // list process definitions available [workflowService retrieveProcessDefinitionsWithCompletionBlock:^(NSArray *array, NSError *error) { if (array == nil) { NSLog(@"Failed to retrieve process definitions: %@", error); } // for each item in the array print out some information for (AlfrescoWorkflowProcessDefinition *pd in array) { NSLog(@"---> Identifier: %@\n", pd.identifier); NSLog(@"---> Key: %@\n", pd.key); NSLog(@"---> Name: %@\n", pd.name); NSLog(@"---> Summary: %@\n", pd.summary); NSLog(@"---> Version: %@\n", pd.version); } }]; // retrieve process definition for activitiAdhoc:1:4 NSString *processDefinitionID = @"activitiAdhoc:1:4"; [workflowService retrieveProcessDefinitionWithIdentifier:processDefinitionID completionBlock:^(AlfrescoWorkflowProcessDefinition *processDefinition, NSError *error){ if (processDefinition == nil) { NSLog(@"Failed to retrieve process definition: %@", error); } else { // start process [workflowService startProcessForProcessDefinition:processDefinition assignees:nil variables:nil attachments:nil completionBlock:^(AlfrescoWorkflowProcess *process, NSError *error){ NSLog(@"---> Process created!\n"); NSLog(@"---> identifier: %@\n", process.identifier); NSLog(@"---> processDefinitionIdentifier: %@\n", process.processDefinitionIdentifier); NSLog(@"---> processDefinitionKey: %@\n", process.processDefinitionKey); NSLog(@"---> name: %@\n", process.name); NSLog(@"---> startedAt: %@\n", process.startedAt); NSLog(@"---> endedAt: %@\n", process.endedAt); NSLog(@"---> dueAt: %@\n", process.dueAt); NSLog(@"---> priority: %@\n", process.priority); NSLog(@"---> summary: %@\n", process.summary); NSLog(@"---> initiatorUsername: %@\n", process.initiatorUsername); // Get tasks for process [workflowService retrieveTasksForProcess:process completionBlock:^(NSArray *array, NSError *error){ for (AlfrescoWorkflowTask *task in array) { NSLog(@"---> Task information:\n"); NSLog(@"---> identifier: %@\n", task.identifier); NSLog(@"---> processIdentifier: %@\n", task.processIdentifier); NSLog(@"---> processDefinitionIdentifier: %@\n", task.processDefinitionIdentifier); NSLog(@"---> name: %@\n", task.name); NSLog(@"---> type: %@\n", task.type); NSLog(@"---> startedAt: %@\n", task.startedAt); NSLog(@"---> endedAt: %@\n", task.endedAt); NSLog(@"---> dueAt: %@\n", task.dueAt); NSLog(@"---> summary: %@\n", task.summary); NSLog(@"---> priority: %@\n", task.priority); NSLog(@"---> assigneeIdentifier: %@\n", task.assigneeIdentifier); } }]; // Now delete process [workflowService deleteProcess:process completionBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error){ if (succeeded) { NSLog(@"#### Process deleted!\n"); } else { NSLog(@"#### Failed to delete process with %@\n", error); } }]; }]; } }]; } - Build and run your code.

Click My Tasks from the main menu.
There should be no new tasks present, as the code created a process and then immediately deleted it.
