How to automate lock and unlock workflow using Business rule
I am looking for a business rule or function to lock and unlock workflow and then set it as scheduled task.
Forum Discussion
Great find! However, the function asks for workflowChannelKey ... How can I generate that parameter for the suggested function:
BRApi.Workflow.Locking.LockWorkflowUnitDescendants(si, si.WorkflowClusterPk, WorkflowProfileTypes.AllProfiles, workflowChannelKey)
I have created the below BR and it works like a charm . Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
Public Function Main(ByVal si As SessionInfo, ByVal globals As BRGlobals, ByVal api As Object, ByVal args As ExtenderArgs) As Object
Try
Dim wfClusterPk As New WorkflowUnitClusterPk()
Dim Pname As String = "Your workflow name"
Dim Sname As String = "Scenerio name"
Dim Tname As String = "Timeperiod Eg- 2022M4"
wfClusterPk = BRAPi.Workflow.General.GetWorkflowUnitClusterPk(si,Pname,Sname,Tname)
'To Lock
Brapi.Workflow.Locking.LockWorkflowUnit(si,wfClusterPk)
'To unlock
'Brapi.Workflow.Locking.UnlockWorkflowUnit(si,wfClusterPk)
Return Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ErrorHandler.LogWrite(si, New XFException(si, ex))
End Try
End Function
