Question

workflow activity - pull comments into Special Instructions

  • November 7, 2013

We use the comments section to communicate within the workflows activities. Users have to hunt over to the Process tab to see these instructions.
I would like to take the Comment in the activity and put it into the workflow variable special_instructions so that it shows on the task details.
Has anyone the code?

Thanks!
Vaughn

    wt.fc.collections.WTArrayList auditCol = (wt.fc.collections.WTArrayList) wt.workflow.engine.WfEngineHelper.service.getVotingEvents((wt.workflow.engine.WfProcess)self.getObject(), null, null, null);
    while( auditEvents.hasNext())
    {
    wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit audit = (wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit)auditEvents.next();
    System.out.println("***Transition Expression: User vote = " + audit.getEventList());
    System.out.println("***Transition Expression: User comment = " + audit.getUserComment());
    comments += audit.getUserComment();
    System.out.println("***Transition Expression: Complete Time = " + audit.getPersistInfo().getCreateStamp());
    }
    System.out.println("comments = " + comments);

    I verified that the code from Yogesh works, as long as you put the code into an Expression Robot just following the task activity from which you want to retrieve the user-entered comments.


    Thanks for the code snippet, Yogesh.

    Dear all,

    If you have got this code to work. Could you supply the complete code? I am getting an error about unknown auditEvents variable.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Dear Ben,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Without any change to the code from above, I get the following error

         /ptc/Windchill_101/Windchill/tmp/WfExpression88659.java:39: cannot find symbol

         symbol  : variable auditEvents

         location: class wt.workflow.expr.WfExpression88659

           while(auditEvents.hasNext()) 

            ^

         /ptc/Windchill_101/Windchill/tmp/WfExpression88659.java:41: cannot find symbol

         symbol  : variable auditEvents

         location: class wt.workflow.expr.WfExpression88659

            wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit audit = (wt.workflow.engine.WfVotingEventAudit)auditEvents.next();

    Then I tried to declare auditEvents with the following code

    Iterator auditEvents = auditCol.persistableIterator();

    This throws an error about unknown Iterator class.

    Regards,

    Gautham
