Jasmin,

Sorry that I ended up confusing you with my process description, Yes I am trying to setup a LiveCycle process where user's will be using email to access and complete their tasks and are not expected to be logging in to Workspace. Here are the steps that would describe the process that I am trying to setup

  1. Users can initiate the business process by accessing the form PDF that is available on a shared network drive accesible to all the users. I have a "Send Email" button on the form that would mail the form as an attachment to a separate email address that I am using for the email endpoint for the process that would get triggered once an end user fills out certain fields in the form and submits it to the preset email address.
  2. Once the process is invoked, the first operation is a setValue where I get the data from the PDF that was submitted and set it to the variables and this was the step where I updated the xfaform variable as you had suggested.
  3. The next step is to route the updated PDF to the first assigned user (User 1) in the process and since the notifications are already configured, the task is sent to User 1's email address. User 1 opens the PDF attachment and adds more data into the form and clicks on the Submit button (part of the Process Fields) that would open up an email with the XDP attachment to the email address configured for the Complete Task service.
  4. The CompleteTask service endpoint would complete the task for User1 and route it to the next assigned user in the process (User 2)
  5. User 2 would open the PDF similar to the User 1 from his email and would add more data in the form and complete the task by clicking on Submit button in the PDF and using the CompleteTask service endpoint.

Hope this makes sense now. I am using two email endpoints - one to invoke the process from an end user who send an email by clicking on the "Send Email" button and one endpoint for the CompleteTask service so that users can complete the tasks from their inbox.

As I mentioned earlier the issue I am facing with now is by setting the value of xfaform as you have suggested, the form data that gets routed to User 1 has the information filled in by the end user, but the data filled in by User 1 and User 2 is not being set into the xfaform.

Let me konw if I am appoaching this the right way or if I am mising the plot here.

Thanks,
Varma
