Gurbeer, One simple way MarkLogic supports workflow is simply by being a transactional database. If you have an article that is represented by XML like <article><title>my title</title><body>my body</body></article> you can add a status such as <article status="submitted">... or status="reviewed". They populate the reviewer's inboxes with an element-attribute-value-query for the status attribute in the submitted status. When the reviewer approves it your XQuery will call xdmp:node-replace() on the status attribute (attributes are nodes too) to set it to reviewed, and it will disappear from the inbox.
If you don't want to alter tha actual XML, store workflow information and the actual article xml together: <envelope> <workflow-info> ... <status>submitted</status> ... </workflow-info> <article> ... </article> </envelope> and query using cts:element-value-query() since in this format the status is an element rather than an attribute. Hope this helps, Damon ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Singh, Gurbeer [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 5:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Workflow in Marklogic Hi, I came to know, Marklogic supports workflow also.
