How to attach a workflow

Deferred — needs a deployment with deployed BPMN. Empirically confirmed against the dev DB: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM act_re_procdef returns 0; gdsmoduleflow = 0; gdsmodule WHERE bCheck = 1 matches 0 rows. The dispatch path itself is hard-disabled by ConstantUtils.bCheckflowCheck = false (see Activiti integration). The recipe below is the code-derived hypothesis — it has not been exercised against a live deployment.

Deferred. Activiti is wired into the codebase, but a deployment that doesn't run an approval flow leaves the workflow tables empty, so end-to-end verification of this recipe needs a deployment that does. See Slice 7 (deferred) for the same reasoning.

The shape of the recipe:

  1. Set gdsmodule.bCheck = 1 to flag the module as workflow-enabled.
  2. Populate gdsmoduleflow with the flow's window configuration.
  3. Set gdsmodule.sVersionFlowId and sVersionFlowCode to the Activiti process definition's ID and key.
  4. Deploy the BPMN process definition through the Activiti REST API or whichever workflow deployment surface is enabled in the target environment.
  5. Verify rows appear in act_re_procdef after deployment.
  6. Test by submitting a record — act_ru_task should populate.

Once a deployment with active workflows is available, this page becomes a proper recipe and Slice 7 becomes a proper slice.
