Hi all
I am struck with Sub work flow .when I loaded it into DB..in node
table I found some nodes with no connection.. I think I am wrong.
Here is my two work flows
The main workflow
<workflow name="LeaveApplication" version="1">
<node id="1" type="Start">
<outNode id="2"/>
</node>
<node id="2" type="Input">
<!-- that's where the personal can apply for a leave -->
<variable name="XY">
<condition type="IsString"/>
</variable>
<outNode id="3" />
</node>
<!-- check whether team lead is available -->
<node id="3" type="Input">
<!-- team leader avail -->
<variable name="teamLeaderAvail">
<condition type="IsBool" />
</variable>
<outNode id="4" />
</node>
<node id="4" type="ExclusiveChoice">
<condition type="Variable" name="teamLeaderAvail">
<condition type="IsFalse"/>
<outNode id="5"/>
</condition>
<condition type="Variable" name="teamLeaderAvail">
<condition type="IsTrue"/>
<outNode id="6"/>
</condition>
</node>
<!-- starting sub work flow -->
<node id="5" type="SubWorkflow" subWorkflowName="OnLeave">
<outNode id="7"/>
</node>
<node id="6" type="Input">
<!-- team leader approve -->
<variable name="teamLeaderApprove">
<condition type="IsBool" />
</variable>
<outNode id="7" />
</node>
<node id="7" type="ExclusiveChoice">
<condition type="Variable" name="teamLeaderApprove">
<condition type="IsFalse"/>
<outNode id="8"/>
</condition>
<condition type="Variable" name="teamLeaderApprove">
<condition type="IsTrue"/>
<outNode id="9"/>
</condition>
</node>
<!-- as it wasn't approved finish workflow here -->
<node id="8" type="End" />
<node id="9" type="Input">
<!-- project manager approve -->
<variable name="projectManagerApprove">
<condition type="IsBool" />
</variable>
<outNode id="10" />
</node>
<node id="10" type="ExclusiveChoice">
<condition type="Variable" name="projectManagerApprove">
<condition type="IsFalse"/>
<outNode id="11"/>
</condition>
<condition type="Variable" name="projectManagerApprove">
<condition type="IsTrue"/>
<outNode id="12"/>
</condition>
</node>
<node id="11" type="End" />
<node id="12" type="End" />
</workflow>
-----------
Here is the Sub work flow
<workflow name="OnLeave" version="1">
<node id="1" type="Start">
<outNode id="2"/>
</node>
<node id="2" type="Input">
<!-- team leader approve -->
<variable name="SubTeamLeaderApprove">
<condition type="IsBool" />
</variable>
<outNode id="3" />
</node>
I have a doubt here do I have to make an ExclusiveChoice here. I am
not sure here so I comment the ExclusiveChoice
<!--<node id="3" type="ExclusiveChoice">
<condition type="Variable" name="SubTeamLeaderApprove">
<condition type="IsFalse"/>
<outNode id="5"/>
</condition>
<condition type="Variable" name="SubTeamLeaderApprove">
<condition type="IsTrue"/>
<outNode id="6"/>
</condition>
</node> -->
<!-- as it wasn't approved finish workflow here -->
<node id="3" type="End" />
</workflow>
My requirement is I want to check whether the team lead is available
or not for a leave approval. If he is on leave the leave approval
process should be done by some co-team leads. So here I need a sub
work flow rit?. If the co-team lead approve it should go to PM..
This is my logic..
Do I have to save the two workflows individually? Or when I save main
workflow will the subworkflow save automatically from the xml file.
In one lone of code like.
$workflow = $definition->loadByName( 'LeaveApplication' );
$definition->save( $workflow );
------------
Here is the code I used to insert to DB
$definition = new ezcWorkflowDefinitionStorageXml( '../../Workflow/docs/' );
$workflow = $definition->loadByName( 'LeaveApplication' );
workflow1 = $definition->loadByName( 'OnLeave' );//sub work flow
$db = ezcDbFactory::create( 'mysql://test:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/test' );
Set up workflow definition storage (database).
$definition = new ezcWorkflowDatabaseDefinitionStorage( $db );
// Save workflow definition to database.
$definition->save( $workflow );
$definition->save( $workflow1 );//sub work flow
Did I made any mistake in the code while storing to DB…

How to fetch that two from work flow table
Should I need to do like this
$workflow = $definition->loadByName( 'LeaveApplication' );
$subworkflow = $definition->loadByName( 'OnLeave' );
$execution = new ezcWorkflowDatabaseExecution( $db );
// Pass workflow object to workflow executer.
$execution->workflow = $workflow;
$subexecution->workflow = $subworkflow;
How can I fetch the two work flow details? Is there be any relation in
the node table between the main work flow and sub work flow? .
Will the main work flow will suspend on reaching subnode.at that time
should wand to load the work flow again. to resume the main work flow
again.
OR Did I made any mistake here
What is the different between
$execution->setVariable( 'XY','Apply');
And
$execution->resume(array( 'XY' => 'ghk' ) );
I think my mail is too long. Hope u can understand my queries
Do feel free to tell if I am wrong some where..
Thanks
