Regarding BPM and UCM integration

Question

we are unable to add a custom attribute in documents tab in Human Task Flow, where we want to pass a custom value to be stored in UCM for retrieval of the document
How can we add a custom attribute in HumanTaskFlow, which has to be stored in UCM doc store.
but i am successfully uploadingdocument into UCM with out metadata attributes
Thanks Regadrs

Answer 1

OK, so you are using the attachment option from BPM.
I gave you few hints in my previous post, but I will explain them in more details:
a) BPM has its own metadata
Forget for your document for a moment - the BPM process instance still can have its own metadata. These are used when you create BPM screen flows.
I think you will need to create a BPM parameter to store your custom value first. (and this is really purely a BPM question)
b) A document can be attached to a BPM process instance
In a sense, such a document is nothing, but an additional information for the BPM process instance. This has nothing to do with document-oriented workflow (quite often, the attached document enters no workflow at all); it is the BPM process instance that routes across the organization, not the document.
c) BPM metadata <--> UCM metadata
AFAIK, there is no integration between BPM and UCM concerning metadata. You may check-in (attach) a new document using UCM profiles, but for your process this value is not visible - unless you call a service to retrieve it/update it. If you implemented a) (created your custom value in BPM), you may call UCM's services to update this value - at the minimum when you are leaving from the BPM workflow step.
