How to reset a task back to state SUSPENDED cancelled by the user

1. At the moment a task in state DONE cannot be reset in Xpert.ivy. Calling the reset method on the task will throw an IllegalStateException.
2. Permissions can also be set to Roles. So you can set the TaskReset Permission to a Role which is owned by users that are allowed to reset tasks.
3. You can turn off the Xpert.ivy security in Java before calling the method. For more details see question 227.

Hi Stefan,

are you using JSF Dialog? In my RIA Dialog i created an Event Task reset which is call when then Window is unloaded. It is just one Skript step needed. if (!in.propperClosed) { ivy.task.reset(); }

If you use JSF Dialogs there is a little bit more to do.

1. you need a callable process wich will do the Task reset and has the taskID as Input parameter. You could use the CancelTask form HTMLWFUI as example
2. you Need a Button in jsf which calls this process i did the following:

create an attribut URL which is filled with the correct URL of the callable process by dialog start event.

JavaScript which calls URL

function cancel(url) { document.location=url; }

a command Button which call the script

p:commandButton onclick="cancel(#{data.url})"

I never had problems with the rights in designer, only on Server, there you Need the rights.

hope this helps Roland
