Hi

I am trying to start a workflow with the help of launcher but only for the images inside abc-cropping folder.
As in the below String (3 sub folders) bold part is not static, it is differnt for differnt country and regions but abc-cropping is static and is present inside same level hierarchy so tyring with regular expression in the below mentiond path.

 

String - /content/dam/xyzsite/products/temporary/india/scm-mumbai/1_2345/abc-cropping

path - /content/dam/xyzsite/products/temporary(/.*)/abc-cropping

 

but it's not working, when i am workig trying with   /content/dam/xyzsite/products/temporary(/.*), workflow is getting triggered on all the assets inside any sub folder of temporary.

But we want to triger workflow only on the assets inside abc-cropping folder using launcher.

Please guide valid path(regular expression) for the above String.

 

Thanks.

Hi Debal,

 

The workflow code contains some project specific data.
Debal sir, it's working fine if we provide the exact path or the below path:
/content/dam/xyzsite/products/temporary(/.*) .
I don't understand why it's not working if we put anything extra after (/.*) in the path.

Thanks.


Sharing .content.xml associated with workflow launcher here -

<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" jcr:primaryType="cq:WorkflowLauncher" condition="" conditions="[jcr:content/jcr:mimeType==image/.*]" description="" disabledFeatures="[]" enabled="{Boolean}true" eventType="{Long}1" excludeList="" features="[]" glob="/content/dam/my-digital-assets(/.*/)abc-cropping(/.*/)renditions/original" nodetype="nt:file" runModes="author" workflow="/var/workflow/models/scheduled_activation"/>

Could you please just test it with some other workflow model and share your observation.

It should work, there are many examples OOTB launcher setup

      As Arun mentioned it should work with the given expression.

      Also you can find many more example in OOT workflow launcher

          I have tested with workflow launcher configuration below and it's working for me-

           

          I have used path: /content/dam/my-digital-assets(/.*/)abc-cropping(/.*/)renditions/original

           

          Just for testing purpose, I have used Scheduled Page/Asset Activation workflow here.

           

          Hope this will help.

            Hi Debal, I have tried the way you suggested but it's not working for me, please check the below attachment.

            I have also tried by changing nodetype to  nt:file.
