MDM Approval Workflow - Send to previous step using API

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on MDM 7.1 SP 07. I have integrated MDM workflow with UWL.

I have written a custom web dynpro application to approve the workflow record using MDM APIs.

I am able to accept the workflow task, mark it as APPROVED, mark as DONE and send it to NEXT STEP using WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_NEXT_STEP

Similarly I am able to accept the workflow task, mark it as DISAPPROVED, mark as Done.

Issue:

When the record is disapproved, I can see the "Send to previous" step option in data manager.

But I donot get the option "SEND TO PREVIOUS" in the mdm api. I expected something like WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_PREVIOUS_STEP

Any idea on the correct apis to send to previous step?

Hi,

Try sending the disapproved items using WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_NEXT_STEP. Revert with the result...

Hi,

I tried with WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_NEXT_STEP. But it is failing. Because once the record is disapproved and marked as done, SENT_NEXT_STEP is not enabled.

I also checked the Workflow status. Once disapproved and marked as done, only PREVIOUS_STEP gets enabled in Data Manager.

Are there any other options to send to previous step?

There is no implementation done for sending it to "PREVIOUS STEP" (Not sure of the reasons).

So I have prompted the user to manually send it to previous step.
