Set Business Process Flow to Finished in a Workflow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mluce 306

Hi,

I have a requirement to set a Business Process Flow to 'Finished' in a workflow but cannot find any way to do it.  The business reason is that a manager needs to be able to "complete" a load of records at once via a workflow.

Is this possible?  If not.. is it possible in code via an action, and if so how?

Thanks for any pointers.

    I have managed to do this with a custom action and this code;

                var targetApplication = (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["Target"];
            var record = localcontext.OrganizationService.Retrieve(targetApplication.LogicalName, targetApplication.Id, new ColumnSet("processid"));
            var cleanProcessid = ((Guid)record["processid"]).ToString().Replace("-", "");
            var processFlowEntityName = "reg_bpf_" + cleanProcessid;
            var fieldName = "bpf_" + targetApplication.LogicalName + "id";

            var bpfInstanceRecord = CrmHelper.GetBpfInstance(localcontext, processFlowEntityName, fieldName, targetApplication.Id.ToString());


            var stateRequest = new SetStateRequest
            {
                EntityMoniker = new EntityReference(processFlowName, (Guid)bpfInstanceRecord["businessprocessflowinstanceid"]),
                State = new OptionSetValue(1), // Inactive.
                Status = new OptionSetValue(2) // Finished.
            };
            context.OrganizationService.Execute(stateRequest);
