a longer workflow than single-approver workflow
New Member Posts: 15 Join Date: 10/17/13 Recent Posts
hi, guys.
i want to create a longer workflow than single-approver workflow. In other words, i want to have a second level of review before an item is approved, it means that i’d create a new task in between the review task and the approved state. And who can provide me this longer workflow definition XML file ?
thanks in advance!

Hi Tushar Patel,

Regarding two level approval workflow, I have used your code in liferay 7.2 CE. Approvals has been done, But the content is not published. Still its showing pending status. In console I am getting the below error. Did I missed anything ?

Caused by: com.liferay.portal.kernel.scripting.ScriptingException:No signature of method: static com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants.toStatus()is applicable for argument
types: (java.lang.String) values:[approved]_Possible solutions: toString(), toString()_Line 1: _Line 2: _Line 3:import com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowStatusManagerUtil;_Line 4: import com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants;

It seems, the interface changed and the toStatus method was removed.
https://docs.liferay.com/ce/portal/7.2-latest/javadocs/portal-kernel/com/liferay/portal/kernel/workflow/WorkflowConstants.html
I would try:
WorkflowStatusManagerUtil.updateStatus(WorkflowConstants.STATUS_APPROVED, workflowContext);
