Hi ,

 

Is there any way to get workflow ID in edit mode of a page when logged in as a content author. Without servlet call to query the available workflows.

 

AEM version : 6.5

 

Thanks

you can use resource-status api to get running workflow for current page

e.g. for content/AEM63App/fr

http://localhost:4502/resource-status/editor/content/AEM63App/fr.1.json 

 

If page is part of workflow it returns response something like below:

{"0":{"statusType":"workflow","statusPriority":10000,"shortMessage":"demo-email","variant":"info","i18n.message.snippets":["demo-email"],"title":"Workflow","message":"This page is subject to the workflow <i>{0}<\/i>"}}

Hi,

do I understand you correctly, that if a user opens a page in editmode and this is part of a workflow, you would like to retrieve the workflow ID of that workflow? What would you like to do with that ID?

    Hi Jörg_Hoh,

     

    Yes, I need the workflow id when a page is opened in edit mode and the page is subjected to a workflow. 

     I have a requirement where a content author should be able to terminate a workflow which he has triggered. So I want to add a button/link in the status bar which calls a servlet with workflow id as parameter.

    Hi @tarunrajg ,

     

    Hope this helps your requirement to get workflow id and enable it at the page level.

        Hi @arunpatidar ,

         

        I have tried the resource-status and it does the job partly i.e., I am able to get the required values when logged in as admin or approver. 

        But in case of content author session, the json does not contain the workflow id (Even for the workflow the user has triggered). It contains the workflow name and status.

        I will try and test by modifying the user permissions and see which level/node has the access to retrieve the value.

        Currently the author is in content-author group and has "read", "modify", "create", "delete" permissions for /var/workflow.

         

        Thanks for your time and response as this solves a question that I raised in the forum.
