Release Notes / Version 11.2207
Table Of Contents
Workflows can now declare custom final actions, which are executed after a workflow process has completed successfully or was aborted. To this end, a workflow definition can contain
<FinalAction>
elements with custom classes that implement the interface
com.coremedia.cap.workflow.plugin.FinalAction
.
Workflow definitions for publication, translation, and synchronization workflows have been adapted to use the new predefined final action
ArchiveProcessFinalAction
instead of the old
ArchiveProcess
task action. With this change, aborted workflow processes are archived in the same way as completed processes. Users can see their archived processes as finished workflows in Studio.
You have to re-upload these changed predefined workflow definitions using the "
cm upload
" tool to make use of the new functionality. The standard workflows
studio-simple-publication.xml
,
studio-two-step-publication.xml
, and
/com/coremedia/translate/workflow/synchronization.xml
can be uploaded by passing their name to the
-n
option of the
cm upload
tool. The workflow definition
translation.xml
from Blueprint directory
apps/workflow-server/modules/cmd-tools/wfs-tools-application/src/main/app/properties/corem/workflows
can be uploaded by passing the file name to the
-f
option of the
cm upload
tool.
The old
ArchiveProcess
action from package
com.coremedia.workflow.common.actions
has been deprecated. It's recommended to replace usages in custom workflow definitions with the
ArchiveProcessFinalAction
in the same way as in predefined workflow definitions.
For more details, have a look at section "Final Actions" in the Unified API Developer Manual and section "Customize Workflow Definitions" in the Workflow Manual .
