You learn how to start a workflow.
You need to have completed the tutorial Retrieving Process Definitions, as
you build on the code created there.
-
In the project you worked on previously, replace the createWorkflow
method. This code sets up a workflow process and then starts 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); } }]; }]; } }]; } - Build and run your code.

- View the logging output and make a note of the TASK identifier for the process just created.
- Log into the SkyVault Share interface.
- Click My Tasks from the main menu.
- Locate the created process and confirm the task identifier matches that of the process just created.
You have created a workflow process with a single task.
