https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1220/is-it-possible-to-find-the-icase-that-has-lead-to-another-icase-creation<p>Hi everybody!</p> <p>I have a process which triggers another process start through a trigger step. The first process has a related ICase (ivy.case) and the 2d started process belongs to another ICase. We could consider in such a situation that the first ICase is the "ancestor" of the second one. Is there a possibility to get a reference to the "ancestor" ICase from the second one? Especially in a WorkflowEvent Listener like the one stated in this question: <a href="http://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1193/listen-to-process-case-start-and-task-creation-start">listen-to-process-case-start-and-task-creation-start</a></p> <p>A very convenient way would be something like:</p> <pre><code>IWorkflowEvent createEvent = wfManager.findWorkflowEvent(event.getId()); if (createEvent.getEventKind() != WorkflowEventKind.EVENT_CREATE_CASE) { return; } ICase newCase = createEvent.getCase(); newCase.getAncestorICase() // null if no ancestor, the ICase from which this newCase has been triggered </code></pre> <p>Thanks a lot in advance!

The case of this task is the ancestor case.</p>Reto WeissWed, 11 Mar 2015 20:37:48 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1220/is-it-possible-to-find-the-icase-that-has-lead-to-another-icase-creation/1223
