Use the workflow update tool
Use the workflow update tool to add a workflow to existing items that aren't already workflow enabled.You must first enable the workflow update tool by adding the following parameters to the WCM WCMConfigService service using the IBM WAS administration console:
- connect.businesslogic.module.workflowenablement.class=com.aptrix.pluto.workflow.WorkflowEnablementModule
- connect.businesslogic.module.workflowenablement.remoteaccess=true
- connect.businesslogic.module.workflowenablement.autoload=false
- Log in to the portal as an administrator.
- Open the following URL in the browser and specify which workflow you want to apply and the library containing the items you want to apply the workflow to:
http:// [HOST]: [PORT]/wps/wcm/myconnect/?MOD=workflowenablement&library=libraryname&workflow=workflowname
If the "library" parameter is omitted, the default library that has been configured in the WCM WCMConfigService service is used.
Specify a workflow stage:
You can specify the workflow stage to move the updated items to by adding &workflowstage=workflowstagename to the URL. If not specified, items will be placed in the first workflow stage of the selected workflow.
Preserve dates:
You can preserve the last modified date of items updated by the Workflow update tool by adding &preserve_dates=true to the URL used to run the Workflow update tool.
Restricting which items types to fix:
You can restrict which objects types are processed by adding &restrictOn=itemtype to the URL used to run the Workflow update tool. For example:
- content
- folder
- project
- style for presentation templates
- template for authoring templates
- taxonomy
- category
- SiteArea
- Workflow
- WorkflowStage
- WorkflowAction
- Cmpnt for components
If not specified, all object types will be fixed.
Unlocking items:
To force locked items to be unlocked while running the tool, add &forceUnlock=true to the query. This setting defaults to true.
Restricting which items types to fix:
To prevent server timing out before the workflow update tool has finished, you can specify &sessionTimeOut= to the URL. This is defined as the number of seconds before a session will timeout. For example: &sessionTimeOut=36000 . The default session timeout is 14440 seconds.
