Workflow state change

Posted By: Posted Date: October 25, 2010 Points: 0 Category :Windows Application

Based on the workflow status, I want to directly move the workflow instance to one particular state. In .NET 3.5 State machine workflow, we have an option to move the specific state from initial using SetState option.

Currently I am developing a workflow as a Workflow services (.NET 4.0) using flowchart with send receive activity.

Is there any way to move the workflow to particular state?

State Machine workflows represent a different way of visualizing program logic. Rather than flowing from activity to activity like sequential workflows, State Machines transition from state to state.

Change the Workflow Status through code

HI Folks,

I have a scenario where i need to develop a 6 stage approval workflow(sequential) using WWF and depoly it to sharepoint. Everythigns fine till here.

Now we look ahead to change the Status field on the documents library which actually has the Workflow Name as the column name and its value being In Progress, depending on the stage of approval. Like(Approved 1, Approved 2, Approved 3.)

And if rejected the status should be rejected than Completed. Any idea how can we update this column of the List item.

I have tried item[workflowProperties.Workflow.ParentAssociation.Name]="Approved 1";

But this throws an error saying input string is not in a correct format.

Any information would be of great help :)

Thanks

Delay Activity is not working with SharePoint state machine workflow

Hello, ÃÂ I have a problem with Delay Activity in Sharepoint state machine workflow. This issue is kind of common to many people but so far I haven't come accross any working solution. In one of the workflow states, I want to add a delay activity to send email notification if no action is taken after certain time. Below is what I have done: ÃÂ In the targeted state: 1) add one eventDriven activity to handle the normal process (approve the item) 2) add another eventDriven activity to send the reminder email. In this eventDriven activity, I first add a delayActivity, set it to 2 minutes for test purpose. Then I add a Sharepoint SentEmail activity. ÃÂ With my test, the Dealy Activity is never invoked after timeout period. What should I do to make the delay activity work in the SharePoint state machine workflow? Is there any work around if the delay activity is simply not working there? ÃÂ Any suggestions are appreciated.

SharePoint Three-state workflow messages

I want to assign tasks to users without notifying them the task is assigned. But I DO want to notify them when the state changes (I am changing it behind the scenes based on their due dates and the current date. It looks like have two choices - don't send emails, or send emails with all three state changes. If my interpretation above is correct, then does anyone have a suggestion how to contrive system to trigger SharePoint to send people a message when a date in a list is within one week? Without sending three additional messages, that is!

State Machine Workflow timer

Hi all,

I am wondering what the best way is to map the following scenario with a state machine workflow.

A customer books a seat online. The seat enters the "Reserved" state. The customer has up to one minute to confirm the reservation, and when he does, the state would change to "Sold".

If, however, he does not do that within that minute, the system would automatically cancel the reservation.

I am stuck on implementing the one minute timer. I would imagine that it would involve a DelayActivity, but I won't know where it fits in the workflow.
