Setting state of work item in post-condition
Hi,
I would like to take a workflow action in post-condition of work item save operation. Is that possible? If yes can you please give information and an example from the appropriate API? Thanks, |

Baris,
Are you talking about a pre-condition or a follow up action? I'm not aware of any "post condition" or did I miss something? # Pre-Condition =========== I assume that you already went thru the following page: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RTCSDK20_ProcessPreConditionExample. You can find a good example of a "pre condition" in you check, for example, the class com.ibm.team.workitem.service.internal.save.AllChildrenClosedPrecondition stored in the plugin com.ibm.team.workitem.service. The class has to be an implementation of IOperationAdvisor, the plugin must extend the extension point "com.ibm.team.process.service.operationAdvisors" and the "com.ibm.team.repository.common.components". # Follow-up ======== For the follow up action, you can check out our workshop http://jazz.net/library/article/477. It adds a follow up action on the save work item event. I hope it will help |

Hi Philippe,
Sorry for misleading you in the question. I went through that articles and I already have running pre-conditions and follow up actions. I am rephrasing my question: I have 4 States (S1, S2, S3, S4) and 3 actions (a1, a2, a3) Here is the flow definition: a1 : S1 -> S2 a2 : S2 -> S3 a3 : S2 -> S4 When I take action a1, Before the state became S2, a pre-condition will run. then, WI will be in state S2. At same state, a follow-up action will run and check a flag in work item and depending on the flag, follow-up action will take action a2 and set state to S3 or not. Is that possible? Can I set state of a workitem in a follow-up action? If yes, can you provide appropriate API for this? Thank you, |
What you are talking about is a scripted series of actions and state transitions. You could do this with some sort of script, but I don't think that this is what you want.
I think you would need to create a process extension to provide a participant for the Event Handling (Work Item State Changed Event) that would create an event follow up action. I see the event in the version of RTC that i am using right now, but there are no configured follow up actions. This tells me that you would be able to create an extension point for this. |

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the answer, I have a follow-up action that is attached to work item save operation. (I wrote the action and bound it to work item save operation). I will extend that follow up action. what I would like to do is: If the work item is the item I want and if the state is s2, check the flag, if set, set state of the work item to s3 I'm done till the last statement. I just need the appropriate API to the last line that sets state of the work item. |
