Hi,

My workflow definition xml looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The Eclipse console also does not show any error messages and neither the logs.
I have pointed my Liferay to use MySql DB configured on my system.

Can any body provide help on this?
Thanks in advance

Hi..
I guess you have assigned task to same role in both the levels of approval.. may be that is the reason for error..

[12年前 に Ankur Agarwal によって更新されました。]

Thanks preeti,
the file got uploaded, actually i was not able to upload my definition.xml file, i removed the kaleo-web from the installation and replaced it with a fresh one. The Issue got solved.
The Same Name is not a problem... actually you can have multiple notifiactions at each level.

Hi Preeti,
Looking at your workflow what i am able to deduce is that once an Asset is submitted for approval, it goes for the review task and if approved it gets published.
If rejected it goes to PreetiChange form where it again goes to update.
I have two ques actually, 1 Why the need of task PreetiChange, if you are just passing it from there to update so there will be no user action and once rejected it will go on to the update task directly.
2. What exact problem are you facing.
