How to get object identifier  of workflow object on windchill object in 11.0 Ver  ?

if we just enter  a part / document number , we should be able to see workflow process assignment , creator details , etc .?

 what exactly is missing is the how to get object identifier of any process associated with the object ? since if that is done we can fetch other details probably .

Hi HelesicPetr ,

Thanks for the response.

Actually,  I needed to fetch from wtobject directly the processes / tasks associated . Those tasks which are added in the workflow  not through change management

Finally saw this data model . It helped in digging deep in to the links.

After gettting the process details , we can fetch tasks, assignee etc

 

Here is the code (remaining portion i have attached in previous mail chain )

 

wt.query.QuerySpec qs11 = new wt.query.QuerySpec(wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity.class);
qs11.appendWhere(
new wt.query.SearchCondition(wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity.class, "parentProcessRef.key.id",
wt.query.SearchCondition.EQUAL, proc.getPersistInfo().getObjectIdentifier().getId()));

wt.fc.QueryResult activitiesinWfblock = wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.find(qs11);
while (activitiesinWfblock.hasMoreElements()) {
wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity activity = (wt.workflow.work.WfAssignedActivity) activitiesinWfblock
.nextElement();
System.out.println("Activity Details :" + activity.getName());

Enumeration<WfAssignment> enumAct = activity.getAssignments();
while (enumAct.hasMoreElements()) {
WfAssignment e = (WfAssignment) enumAct.nextElement();
System.out.println("Activity Roles" + e.getAssignee() + " " + e.getStatus());

This is one way to get the info, using a report template:

The last link will be to whatever the Primary Business Object is for the Workflow

    Hi ,

    Thanks for the response .

    I was looking for an API to get workflow process / running process from any object . I searched a lot , finally i have to switch to query spec as there is no such API.

     

     

     

    Sharing the snippet , it may help someone for the same issue . This will bring in process linked to any object .

     

    String wtRefString = null;
    ReferenceFactory rf = new ReferenceFactory();

    wtRefString = rf.getReferenceString(obj); // obj is part / document number given as argument  entry //

    System.out.println("wtRefString is " + wtRefString);

    QuerySpec qs = new QuerySpec(WfProcess.class);
    qs.appendWhere(new SearchCondition(WfProcess.class, WfProcess.BUSINESS_OBJ_REFERENCE, SearchCondition.EQUAL,
    wtRefString), 0);

    QueryResult qr = PersistenceHelper.manager.find(qs);

    System.out.println("qrProcs size is " + (qr).size());

    while ((qr).hasMoreElements()) {
    WfProcess proc = (WfProcess) ((qr).nextElement());

    Hi @joe_morton 

    API exists.

     

    WorkflowCommands.getAssociatedProcesses(lcManaged, null, containerRef);

    or if you search for tasks from object (ex. WTChangeActivity, WTChangeTask, WTChangeRequest, WTPromotionReq atc.), this can be also used with WTUser

    WorkflowHelper.service.getWorkItems(persistObject);

     Hope this can help
