StartProcess - Assign a Process automatically when one user...

[Sean_McP]

Hi there,

I remember reading about how to StartProcess (through code) and it would be automatically assigned to a User when there was only one user possible to execute it.

can someone who knows what I’m talking about point me to where to find it again…then I can use it…

Many thanks and best regards
Seán

You can use Bonita Engine API (using Bonita Java Client library) or Bonita Web REST API to start a process instance programmatically.

• For the first option checkout: http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/enable-process-and-start-instance
• For the second option checkout: http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/web-rest-api-examples-0#start_case_with_variables

When you create process instance programmatically it will skip the case start form.
The process will be executed until it reach a blocking event (e.g. intermediate timer event) or a human task.

In order to automatically assign a task to a user you need to use a filter that will return exactly one user id.
The filter also need to be configured to auto assign the task if filter return a single result (method shouldAutoAssignTaskIfSingleResult of the filter).
