How to get Logged-In User Id in Workflow

+20

Hi all,

It's regarding, how to get Logged-In User Id in Workflow.

I have successfully fetched the Logged-In User Id with single block workflow (Thanks @dsj for guiding).

However, workflow returns the null value with same script when adding another block to read ApprovalRouting data.

I noticed another behaviour as well. If I test workflow just after validating the BPMN for Workflow Command, sometime randomly it works.

@dsj will appreciate your input.

Try using the SingletonUser (or CurrentPerson) EntitySet of the UserSettings API.

I’ve noticed the same issue, that the workflow variable doesn’t always get populated.

Hi @Abdul ,

Did you check the logging with the same user both times?

According to the error:

TypeError: null has no such function "toUpperCase"

from:

var varCurrentUser = execution.getVariable('ifsBpaCurrentUserId').toUpperCase();

it seems that execution.getVariable('ifsBpaCurrentUserId') is returning null sometimes, so .toUpperCase() cannot be called on it.

It is better to check whether ifsBpaCurrentUserId is null before calling .toUpperCase().
