Good evening,
In WF 3.6. An activity is assigned to a group of users. A workitem is created for each member of the group.
If a staff is added to the group, how can the system be forced to reassign work items for this activity.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. |

Hi, what you are asking for is called 'staff resolution'.
This takes place only once when the activity is tarted and you need to do the following trick to trigger again a staff resolution:
put the activity inside of a block activity and restart the block activity (via API). The the actctivities inside will be re-instantiated and staff resolution takes place again.
But this requires a model change and an additional block in the model.
Usually your (common) requirement is solved by different approaches that you may find in this forum.
- transfer a workitem to the user in question or
- use vitual userIDs. If you want a user to become the member of a group, don't move the user, just assign him one of the virtual userIDs of the pool
- there is only one workitem owned by a single virtual user. All users of a group have access rights to this worklist and each of them may transfer the workitem to his own worklist
- there are plenty of other approaches that all do not require additional staff resolution.[/list][/list] |

Good day hos,
Could you elaborate on how to restart the block activity (via API). Let say I have a process Instance AA1 from a process template AA.
A block activity MyBlockActivity which contains an activity MyActivity. MyActivity is to be assigned to a role AGroup. A person is added to the role AGroup and we would like to force the 'staff resolution' for this activity.
Many thanks. |

Hi,
just call
| Code: |
| MyBlockActivity.forceRestart() |
to reset the block activity. Once the block is restartet, staff resolution will take place again for MyActivity. Keep in mind, that - opposed to its name - forceRestart only resets the activity and does not automatically restart the activity. You'll have to start the block activity again after forceRestart(). |
