Simple PO Status test - IDM approval example

hi.

I just came over from the old communities. Hopefully this is the correct place to post this (simple) question.

I previously had a working test where i have a document loaded to IDM and an activation policy kicks in and sends it to me for approval. It worked ok and i was getting the task but i could not get the updated approval to write back to IDM with the update. I did think about just calling the IDM update item endpoint with the details but assumed beacuse i kicked this off from IDM then when the workflow completed it should update correctly. (May be wrong here)

So I then followed the written details on the "Simple PO Status" example on here for sending out a document for approval via a workflow to see what I was missing but every time I add a Simple PO Document and try to manually start the workflow from IDM (even without activation policy) it fails with the error

"No destination found for message xxxxxxx" in OneView and I do not even get the task to approve.
Any ideas what is missing? I also saw the video and this didn't help me.

Of course I have now messed about with the origianl one that was working and managed to break that too.

Any assistance is appreciated.

thanks

    Get the SyncConentDocument from IDM and pass it to a workflow in an ION Dataflow. with in the workflow based on the task approval action you can call the IDM update API.

    thanks for the response Prabodha.

    yeah I mentioned that above in my question that I was going to do that, seems standard that I would update like I thought and you also suggested.

    From looking at the Simple PO Test video thought (and perhaps i misunderstood), it seemed to suggest that this information that is output at the end of the workflow is automatically updated as they are linked via the IDM configuration to Workflow. SO my thinking was it was a smoother update as they were already combined when calling out and the parameter is updated in the workflow and it would auto update.

    I can do the update via another API call back to IDM…maybe i misunderstood the video

    Thanks again Prabodha.

    Hello, Thomas.

    I have the same unresolved questions about this issue. From looking at your comments, it seems like you may have found a solution. Would you be able to share your valuable experience?

    I also followed along with the video, but I couldn’t get the workflow to run directly from IDM. Did you use a separate API to resolve this issue? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
