initiate workflow programmatically,

Posted: Apr/20/2010 By: nikhil Points:15 Category: .NET - ADO.Net Views:244 Vote Up (0) Vote Down (0)

Hi,

I am using wss3.0 and Moss 2007.

I have created a custom workflow in .net 3.0 and able to deploy it on WSS3.0.
Also, I am able to start the workflow programmatically using webservice on a list item. But i am not able to find get the event which should be called when workflow gets "completed".

As of now i have attached a receiver to historylist of workflow for checking status of workflow.
But i want to know some other method by which i can do some processing when workflow gets completed.

Please let me know if i am missing some thing or is thr any other way to attach logic once worklfow gets completed.

Thanks,
Abhi

Video: What's New in SharePoint 2010 Workflow

Prior to SharePoint 2010, workflows had to be associated with a list. This meant that if you found a problem that would be well suited to using workflow that wasn't list or document related, you would have to find some way to associate that workflow with a list. This often led to "dummy" list items only created to be a vehicle for a workflow. (Length: 13:50)

SPFileCollection.Add() and Sharepoint Designer workflow "Failed on Start"

Does anyone know why I would be getting an error message when trying to auto start a workflow on creation of a item on a Document Library.

I am uploading the document using the SPFileCollection.Add() method. The file gets uploaded but the workflow "Fails on Start (retrying)".

When I manually upload a document using the sharepoint IE interface, the workflow works properly.

Thanks!

How to checkin a document programmatically using the sharepoint client API

I have a small HTML:

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function DoCheckinDocument () {
shPointObj = new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3");
if( shPointObj ) {
chkinres = shPointObj.CheckinDocument("http://test-x64/Docs/Documents/Reports/Pablo/z.txt",0,"Done in JS");
alert('After checkin!');
}
}
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function DoEditDocument () {
shPointObj = new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3");
if( shPointObj ) {
editres = shPointObj.EditDocument("http://test-x64/Docs/Documents/Reports/Pablo/z.txt");
alert('After edit!');
}
}
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>

</BODY>
</HTML>

As you can see, this html has two buttons. One to edit a document and the other to checkin a document (hardcoded document). When I edit a document it works just fine... but when I try to do the checkin I get this error:

The file could not be checked in. It may have already been checked in by another user.

And the document in my local draft is then removed... but the file is not checked in!

Searching in internet there is almost no example of how to use this API...

I have installed Office 2007.

Thanks in advance
