How to close request item when all it's tasks are closed

Hi,

I have a workflow on requested item table that creates a single catalog task. When this task closes, the item closes as expected. But when users

have added new catalog tasks outside of the WF using the New button, the requested item does not close after all it's tasks are closed. Any idea

how this can be achieved? I have put a 'Wait for Condition' that has the following code, but that doesn't seem to be helping:

checkTask();

function checkTask() {

var task_cnt = 0;

var closed_tasks = 0;

var catalog_task = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

catalog_task.addQuery('request_item',current.sys_id);

catalog_task.query();

task_cnt = catalog_task.getRowCount();

      while(catalog_task.next()){

              // We are checking, whether the state of task   is closed, so "3" is the database value of closed complete state,

              // "4" is closed incomplete and "7" is closed skipped    

              if(catalog_task.state == "3" || catalog_task.state == "4" || catalog_task.state == "7") {

                      closed_tasks = closed_tasks + 1;

              }

      }

      if( closed_tasks == task_cnt)

      {

            answer = true;

      }

}

Thanks,

Debashree,



The issue here is whenever the Workflow created task is closed then there will be a business rule which will run and invoke the Workflow on RITM. You need to have similarly for Manually created Tasks.


So, have a Business Rule on sc_task something like this:


Name: Invoke Workflow On RITM


When : onAfter


Order: 800


Condition : current.wf_activity.nil() && (current.state.changesTo(3) || current.state.changesTo(4) || current.state.changesTo(7))


Script:



// Run any workflow(s) so this task's state changes can be checked


runWorkflow_task();




function runWorkflow_task() {


    if (!current.request_item.nil()) {


          var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');


          gr.addQuery("sys_id",current.request_item.toString());


          gr.query();


          if (gr.next()) {


          new Workflow().broadcastEventToCurrentsContexts(gr, 'update', null);


          }


    }


}

Hi Debashree,



Here is the script you can write.


var task = getTask();


function getTask()


{


var answer = false;


var catalog_task = new GlideRecord('sc_task');


catalog_task.addQuery('active',true); //query for only active records


catalog_task.addQuery('request_item',current.sys_id);


catalog_task.query();


if(catalog_task.next()){


        answer = true; //returns true if the task are not yet closed.


}


return answer;


}



Hi Pradeep,


I tried your code but it didn't work. Any other ideas?


Thanks,


Debashree


Where did the workflow stuck? Can you add some log messages in script and check if they are executing or not.


I know this is late, but I modified Pradeep's code in a Wait for condition as shown below, and it works flawlessly:

    var answer;
    var catalog_task = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
    catalog_task.addQuery('active', true); //query for only active records
    catalog_task.addQuery('request_item', current.sys_id); //RITM sys_id
    catalog_task.query();
    if (catalog_task.getRowCount() > 0) {
        answer = false;
    } else {
        answer = true;
    }
