Hey, I try to get onto the Workflow forum as often as possible. There are quite a few questions to answer out there though. Start the revolution, Jeff.

As someone who is trying to learn Alfresco you just hit upon one of my major frustrations. There is so much to this system and when I go to the forums to learn either there are no answers or the solutions are so complex that I cannot digest what they are saying. The wiki is good but a lot of the info in it is for the older versions

A very good idea Jeff, I’ll take a look and see if I can answer at least a few.

Hi Jeff, full ack.
I’m trying my best.

Same here

Just to be a bit contrary, do you think the new revolution might be better served by taking each enquiry and thinking “what is the documentation or patch which could to be written to prevent this question arising again”?

On a related note, ought not the community be using Alfresco Share to collaborate on the content which comprises the wiki?

You are absolutely right, Jeff.
I’ve been doing my best for a few weeks to help people on the forums.

Btw, you’ve made excellent job with these “Developer Series”, thanks a lot !

David,

There’s no doubt that in many cases, questions that are brought up that should result in a wiki update or a JIRA ticket, so you make a valid point. It is great when forum members can go the extra mile and make those changes on the wiki and submit JIRA tickets when they are appropriate.

Regarding Share, Alfresco has started to use Surf (the framework Share is built with) for its own stuff. The Enterprise Network site (http://network.alfresco.com) is an example. It’ll be interesting to see when/if Alfresco migrates its current forums to Share-powered forums.

I have deployed alresco war bundle on jboss in RHEL5.
Everything run well.
I created a advanced workflow as login by administrator.
And users assigned to each space. When user log in and try to execute workflow, flollowing error occurs..
any help is highli appreciated

“Failed to reject the document due to system error: 07100009 Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.”

g1soori,

Do you mean that the users cannot start the workflow at all or they can start the workflow but cannot move the workflow forward?

If it is the latter, what logic do you have in the workflow? Are you taking actions against the documents in the workflow? If so, does the user managing the workflow task have the appropriate permissions on those documents?

Things to try:
– Are there any users at all that can successfully execute the workflow? If so, what’s different about those users when compared to the users who are not successful?
– Can admin? If admin can but the other users cannot, try giving the users Coordinator access. If that works, you know it is a permissions problem.

If no one (not even admin) can successfully execute the workflow, you’ve got a problem in the workflow somewhere. Use the debugger (both Eclipse and Rhino JavaScript) to resolve.

Good luck,

Jeff
