Hello,

I would like to create a new case (based on some conditions in the process A) in the process B.
The most important thing is do this automatically, without any interactions from the users.
I tried to use a subprocess in the process A and invoke a process B in the subprocess properties.
However, I had to choose the starting activity in the process B.
I used an Empty Task as an only task in the process B but it required a click on this task to complete the new case.
I tried also a Script Task but it resulted in error (no userid)

Please help.
Best Regards,

Well, you could probably

1) Create a new case :

Code: Select all

PMFNewCase($processUID, $userID, $stepUID, array());  (pretty sure the $stepUID is the TAS_UID in the TASK table.

2) If for any reason you just want to set the status to 'COMPLETED' (skip this code if it's not the case):

Code: Select all

if ($newCaseUID) {
	$c = new Cases();
	$aCase = $c->loadCase(@@newCase);
	$aCase['APP_STATUS'] = 'TO_DO';
	$c->updateCase(@@newCase, $aCase);
}

else:

2) Redirect to the new case:

Code: Select all

G::header("Location: ../cases/cases_Open?APP_UID=$newCaseUID&DEL_INDEX=1&action=draft");
die();

3) Create a trigger 'before dynaform' in the subprocess before assignment(it doesn't need to be a subprocess by the way)

Code: Select all

PMFDerivateCase(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX);

4) I don't know what you really need to do but you could probably put a trigger to redirect to the inbox (this trigger MUST be after the 'Derivate Case' trigger that you created at step 3.

Hope that helps a little bit!

To add to what stevensi1018 already said, you can look up the IDs in PROCESS.PRO_UID and TASK.TAS_UID fields in the database, but it is much easier to simply to run a case in your process B with Debug Mode activated and then copy the IDs of the PROCESS system variable and the ID of the TASK system variable when in the initial task of your process B. Then use this code:

Code: Select all

$processId = '1234567890abcde1234567890abcd';  //set to the ID of Process B.
$taskId = '1234567890abcde1234567890abcd';  //set to ID of initial task in the Process B
//set to the ID of one of the users assigned to the initial task in Process B
$userId = '1234567890abcde1234567890abcd'; 
PMFNewCase($processId, $userId, $taskId, array()); 

If the user isn't assigned to the initial task, then this function won't work.

Hello stevensi1018 and Amos,

Thank you for your help.
I put the pieces together and applied some modifications ($newCaseUID instead of @@newCase and $aCase['APP_STATUS'] = 'COMPLETED' in example 2) and it works!
