Hi,

 

For BLTH pertaining to Admin Task, you are dealing with BLTHContext and for jobdata inside Workpoint, you are dealing with WorkflowContext. The only common placeholder to share values (get/set) between BLTHContext & WorkflowContext can be Screen Logical Attribute (SLA)/Logical Attribute (LA)/User Store Physical Attribute (LDAP)/DB table/Flat File.

 

With SLA & LA, we have faced intermittent issues where attr value set by BLTHContext was not sometimes available from WorkflowContext. So finally, between LDAP/DB/Flat File, we chose an external custom DB and this works fine.

Hi Sumeet, thank you for your answer, i think i did not express my self well, i do not want share data between my blth and my workflow, i just want to modify the custom resolver for a specific node in a workflow then reset the node, please check the code snippets below:

 

        JobNodeData nodeToReaffect = #########.; // i do not know how can i get the jobdata of my workflow, i have   the eventId=8b48f945-0a64093d-340ed562-1faa0d82 and jobId=40383:WPDS
        ActivityInstData activity = nodeToReaffect.getActivity();
        activity.setUserData("APPROVER_CUSTOMRESOLVER_NAME", "REAFFECTE_TASK"); // modify the custom resolver
        JobData jobData = nodeToReaffect.getChildJob();
        com.workpoint.client.Job job = (com.workpoint.client.Job)jobData;
        job.reset(); // Reset the node

 

Can i do that without interfering with the workpoint code? Otherwise, what do you advise me?

 

Best regards.

Hi,

 

Thanks for clarification. Please try following as per your use case:

 

Option1: Synchronous Agent at Job Level:

ActivityInstData approver1 = ThisJobData.getActivityByName("Approver1");

approver1.setUserData("APPROVER_CUSTOMRESOLVER_NAME", "REAFFECTE_TASK");

 

Option2: Synchronous Agent at Activity Level:

ThisActivityInstData.setUserData("APPROVER_CUSTOMRESOLVER_NAME", "REAFFECTE_TASK");

 

No need to save Job as Agent is written at Synchronous level.

 

Regards,

Sumeet

I wanted to retrieve the object jobNodeData (node in a specific workflow) in my BLTH using his jobID, as you explain me in your first message we cannot get a workflowContext form a BLTHContext, so i  created and connected ClientContext for accessing the WorkPoint server, then i got the job (my workflow) using his ID, after that i got my job node in the workflow. you find below my code:

// my job id

TableID jobParentTableId = new TableID(jobParentId);

// initialise my client context
 ClientContext cctx = ClientContext.createContext();
cctx.setResourceID("IDM");
cctx.setDatabase("WPDS");
 //connect to workflow databases
 ClientContext clientContext = cctx.openNewContext();

// get my job (workflow)
 Job job = Job.queryByID(clientContext, jobParentTableId, true);
// get the activity linked to my job node

TableID activityTableId = new TableID(activityId);
ActivityInstData activity = job.getActivityByID(activityTableId);

// get my node
JobNodeData nodeToReaffect = job.getNodeByActivityName(activity.getName());

// reset it
job.resetFromNode(nodeToReaffect);

 

 

Thank you for your help.
