AX2009 workflow element events

$

In AX2009, I'm having trouble understanding the different workflow events and when they are triggered.

My information source is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc588240(v=ax.50).aspx

I'm unable to find the answers in the Microsoft documentation, or on the internet.

 

I know there are basically 4 WorkflowElement outcome types:

 

AOT name in case of

AOT name in case of

Outcome   Type

Task

Approval

Complete

Complete

Approve

Return

Return

Reject

RequestChange

RequestChange

RequestChange

Deny

Deny

Deny

 

In the AOT, there are properties on workflow and its elements to enter the EventHandlers.

LEVEL

Object property

Workflow

CanceledEventHandler

CompletedEventHandler

ConfigDataChangeEventHandler

StartedEventHandler

WorkflowElement   (Task/Approval)

CanceledEventHandler

StartedEventHandler

WorkflowElementOutcome

EventHandler

 

In case of the Element Level event handlers, I'm confused.

This is where I think the EventHandlers should be entered:

Event

On   WorkflowElement

properties

On   WorkflowElementOutcome

properties

WorkflowElementStartedEventHandler

yes

 

WorkflowElementCanceledEventHandler

yes

 

WorkflowElementCompletedEventHandler

 

yes   (type=complete)

WorkflowElementReturnedEventHandler

 

yes   (type=return)

WorkflowElemChangeRequestedEventHandler

 

yes   (type=requestchange)

WorkflowElementDeniedEventHandler

 

yes   (type=deny)

 

What is the difference between a Denied and Canceled?

When you Cancel a workflow, does that first trigger the Deny on the WorflowElementOutcome, and then the Cancel on the WorkflowElement?

 

Also, the documentation mentions: (note with Element Level Event Handlers)

The Return and ChangeRequested events share the same state in the recommended workflow state model. You can implement these two different events to distinguish between a workflow that is returned and a workflow that only needs a change. However, in both events, the behavior is the same in that a work item is created, and after the work item is complete, the document state is returned to Started.

 

I'm not sure what they mean here by "document state". Do they refer to the "Workflow State" mentioned in "Approval State Transitions" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc604518(v=ax.50).aspx)?

If so, there's no state "Started".
