How to configure the Cinnamon workflow engine

Configuration

To enable the WorkflowAPI, add the following element to <apiClasses> in your repository in the cinnamon_config.xml:

<apiClass>server.extension.WorkflowApi</apiClass>

Note: for testing, you may call the API method "initializeWorkflows" of the Initializer-extension which executes the following steps automatically.

• add an object type with name "_workflow_template" and description "_workflow_template.description" to the ObjectType-table. (The name is set in server.Constants).
• add an object type with name "_workflow" and description "_workflow" to the ObjectType table.
  
• add an object type with name "_task_definition" and description "_task_definition.description" to the ObjectType table.
• add an object type with name "_transition" and description "_transition.description" to the ObjectType table.
• add an object type with name "_task" and description "_task.description" to the ObjectType table
  
• create a folder /system/workflows 
• create the folders /system/workflows/templates, /system/workflows/tasks and /system/workflows/taskdefinitions.
• create an IndexItem with the following parameters:
  
• Field Name: active_workflow
• For Metadata: true
• Index Type: xpath.boolean_indexer
• Search Condition: /sysMeta/object/objectType/id=<id of _workflow_template object type>
  
• Search String: /meta/metaset[@type='workflow_template']/active_workflow
• Systemic: true
• create a relation type "_workflow_start_task" where both sides of the relation are protected.
• create a relation type  "_workflow_task" where both sides of the relation are protected.
