ucm workflow: jump to a subworkflow
sgcmnkFeb 13 2013 — edited Feb 14 2013Hi all,
I am using webcenter content - and currently working on workflows.
My case: i am having a main workflow with 3 steps(step1, step2, step3) each having certain number of approvers. From step3(userx, usery, userz --> requires approval from all users), an user can call adhoc workflow to assign his work to subordinates(jump to a subworkflow). If any one of the person(say userx) calls an adhoc workflow by updating a specific metadata on the content item, then the content item moves totally from the main workflow to subworkflow(i.e. the other two users cannot see their workitem as it is moved to adhoc workflow by one of the approvers) and i have given the return step to the current step from where the adhoc workflow is triggered.
My requirement: If a person(userx) calls an adhoc workflow, the content item should remain in main workflow for the other two users usery and userz and parallely it should move to adhoc workflow and once adhoc workflow triggered by userx is finished, it should come to main workflow as a workitem only for userx as usery and userz is already having the workitem in their workflow assignments.
May i know how to accomplish my requirement?
Is it possible for a content item to be on main workflow as well as subworkflow?
Also, is it possible to return to a specific event of a workflow step from a subworkflow?
Correct me if i am wrong anywhere, thanks a lot
