I use an entrytemplate for a document. In the entrytemplate a workflow (A) is called. At the start of the workflow a second version of the document is created (pdf) using a bespoke procedure. The workflow steps after that are on this second, major version of the document.

I have created another workflow (B) which emulates the entrytemplate by creating a (text) document (using the createDocument procedure in CE_Operations) and then starting the workflow A with this document. Workflow A then at the start creates the second version. It then turns out that the workflow A steps after that are on the first, minor version of the document. This is wrong for my purpose. Can anyone explain this?

Hi, maybe you should set MajorVersion = 1 and MinorVersion = 0 properties in propsArray (java.lang.String[] propArray). That should result in adding document as you expected.

Jaroslaw, thank you for your thoughts. I tried the added properties, but they are both read-only. I get an error when adding these properties in propsArray.

Hi Jan,

I'm not sure whether I correctly understand your setup, but could the difference be that the regular entry template which is used to trigger create the initial document and launch workflow A is creating a major version of that document whereas your workflow B creates a minor version of when adding the document?

Best regards,
Michael

Hello Michael,

I checked what kind of document is created by my workflow B. For this purpose I removed the call of workflow A from workflow B. I then get just the initial document. This has MajorVersionNumber 1 and MinorVersionNumber 0.

Sincerely, Jan
