How to Restart any workflow?

[Midhun1]

I have an Requirement to restart an existing 'Workflow'.A task already   got triggered in the existing one, i want to restart it from the beginning.

This example doesn't show the maintainStateFlag in the restartWorkflow function. It looks like it defaults to true but the user might want a false to reset all of the values.

Hi Midhun to restart workflow i created a bussinees rule on update.

That may help you

function onAfter(current, previous) {

    //This function will be automatically called when this rule is processed.

}

forceReqItemUpdate();

function forceReqItemUpdate() {

    var wf = new Workflow();

  var ri = new GlideRecord('u_trips');

    ri.addQuery('sys_id', current.sys_id);

  ri.query();

  if (ri.next()) {

          wf.restartWorkflow(current);

    }

}

Thanks

Hi All,

Am testing in background script:

Am using

new WorkflowApprovalUtils().cancelAll(current, comment);

new Workflow().restartWorkflow(current);

Still workflow is in same stage.

Did you make a record called "current"?

This video shows how you can be very effective using scripts background.
