Enable workflow in a Dynamics Ax webpart (EP)

First create a new dynamics webpart in .net. Need to perform few steps to enable the workflow in the required webpart.

a.  Register workflow control in webpart.

    <%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

    Namespace="Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal.UI.WebControls.Workflow" TagPrefix="dynamics" %>

b.  Add workflow control in webpart (place the code after datasource).

    <dynamics:AxWorkflowActionBar ID="WorkflowActionBar" runat="server" DataSourceID="AxDataSource1" DataMember="{TableName}_Current" />

C.  Under Editor, call the following namespace

   using Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal.UI.WebControls.Workflow;

d.  Create the following method for calling CanSubmitToWorkflow method by using Proxy.

   void WorkflowActionBar_EvaluatingCanSubmitToWorkflow(object sender, EvaluatingCanSubmitToWorkflowEventArgs e)

         {

            Boolean canSubmit;

            IAxaptaRecordAdapter record = e.DocumentRecord;

ApplicationProxy.TM_PolicyMaster policyMaster = new                     ApplicationProxy.PolicyMaster(this.AxSession.AxaptaAdapter, record);

        canSubmit = (Boolean)policyMaster.canSubmitToWorkflow();

        e.CanSubmitToWorkflow = canSubmit;

   }

      (Note: Here PolicyMaster the Ax Table and canSubmitToWorkflow method is under the table and it is defined in proxy also. It returns boolean)

 e.  Create or update the page init method in webpart editor with following code

     void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e

     {       

          this.WorkflowActionBar.EvaluatingCanSubmitToWorkflow += new EventHandler<EvaluatingCanSubmitToWorkflowEventArgs>(WorkflowActionBar_EvaluatingCanSubmitToWorkflow);

      }

f.  Create three WebActionMenuItems in DAX with EPWorkflowWorkItemActionManager class.

     Set label: Web Approve, Web Reject and Web request to Change

     Set Run On = Called from

g.  Create another two WebActionMenuItems in DAX with your created Submit class.

    Set label: Web Submit and Web Re-submit.

h.  Modify Submit class for Submitting workflow.

    DialogOk, init and reSubmit method

Figure 1: DialogOK() of submit class, write this code after menuIten calls. Here “EP_PolicySubmit” and “EP_PolicyReSubmit” are the WebActionMenuItem of EPWorkflowWorkItemActionManager.

Figure 2: Init() method of submit class: Add the highlighted line with your web policy submit menuItem name

                  
Figure 3: ReSubmit method of submit class: Add the highlighted line with your web policy Re-Submit menuItem name

i.       Now set the webmenuItems in different places….
       a.       Web Submit: Workflow Template (Properties) ->  submitToWorkflowWebMenuItem
         b.      Web Re-Submit: Workflow Approval (Properties) -> ReSubmitWebMenuItem
         c.       Web  Approve: Workflow Approval ->Outcomes->Approve (Propeties) -> ActionWebMenuItem
        d.      Web  Reject: Workflow Approval ->Outcomes->Reject (Propeties) -> ActionWebMenuItem
        e.      Web  Req. to Change: Workflow Approval ->Outcomes-> RequestChange (Propeties) -> ActionWebMenuItem


And now workflow is ready for web. Please reset the IIS and Refresh AOD from EP before the submit of Workflow.
