Hi community, 

I`m trying to show information from previous approval node in the next one in Action Text field.

For now I`m only take approval code (AA) using this code:

process.getActivity("managerApproval").resultSummary

How can I take the name of the participant in this activity ?

Thank you.

There is no javascript extension that gives you actual approver (as shown in request log (PROCESSLOG table)) .

So if you need to retrieve the actual approver you will need to use the workflow Java APIs - a good place to do that is in the postscript of the Activity.

Here is sample code to show how you can use the APIs (need to be made available in scriptframework.properties) : 

if (activity.resultSummary == activity.TIMEOUT) {
            approvalFlag.set("TIMEOUT");
            activity.setResult(activity.TIMEOUT, "Escalation timeout");
} else if (activity.resultSummary != activity.FAILED) {
 
            if (activity.resultSummary == activity.APPROVED) {
                        approvalFlag.set("APPROVED");
            } else if (activity.resultSummary == activity.REJECTED) {
                        approvalFlag.set("REJECTED");
            }
 
             //Instantiate java variables
            procId = java.lang.Long(process.id);
            processMgr = new com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.ProcessManager()
            a = new com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.Activity();
            ae = new com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.ActivityEntity(a);
            myParticipant = com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.ActivityParticipant();
            myEventAudit = com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.CompleteManualActivityEventAudit(myParticipant);
 
            //Give them some real values to work with
            thisProcess = processMgr.getProcess(procId);
            approvedLoopIndex.set(loopcount);
            ae = thisProcess.getActivity("ManagerApproval", loopcount);
            eve ae.getHistory();
 
            Enrole.log("MANAGERAPPROVAL POSTSCRIPT", "EVENTSIZE: " + events.size());
           
            //get the approver
            for ( i = events.size() -1; i >= 0; i--) {
            event = events.get(i);
                    eventType = event.getEventType();
                                   Enrole.log("MANAGERAPPROVAL POSTSCRIPT", "Event " + i + ": " + eventType);
            // change event to CompleteManualActivityEventAudit
                    myEventAudit = event;
 
            //There are several eventTypes - please check the APIDOC https://www.stephen-swann.co.uk/javadoc/tim5.0/com/ibm/itim/workflow/model/EventAudit.html
			if (eventType == com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.EventAudit.COMPLETE_MANUAL_ACTIVITY) {
                approver_name = myEventAudit.getParticipant().getId();
                                               approverName.set(approver_name);
                                               Enrole.log("MANAGERAPPROVAL POSTSCRIPT", "IN COMPLETE_MANUAL_ACTIVITY: Approver name: " + approver_name);
            } else if (eventType == com.ibm.itim.workflow.model.EventAudit.ACTIVITY_ASSIGNMENT_CHANGED) { 
                lastParticipantUid = myEventAudit.getParticipant().getId();
                       
                                               searchFilter = "(uid=" + lastParticipantUid + ")";
                                               personSearch = new PersonSearch();
                                               searchResults = personSearch.searchByFilter("SKE Person", searchFilter);
                                               if (searchResults.length > 0)
                                               {
                                                           approver_dn = searchResults[0].dn;
                                                           approverDN.set(approver_dn);
                                                           approverName.set(new Person(approver_dn).getProperty("cn")[0]);
                                                           Enrole.log("MANAGERAPPROVAL POSTSCRIPT", "IN ACTIVITY_ASSIGNMENT_CHANGED: Approver name: " + approverName.get());
                                               }
                    }
            }
}

As mentioned in the code you should be careful with the eventTypes - you can chck the PROCESS/PROCESSLOG/ACTIVITY tables (probably the data is embedded in some XML document - I do not remember exactly how and where it is stored) but you should be able to find out relatively easily...

HTH - and let me know if you need additional help...
