Determine the Community or Domain used to start a workflow instance

Does anyone have the code that can be used to show which Community and/or Domain a given workflow instance was started from?

What API is used along with the related import statements

Thanks in Advance

If you start the workflow from a community / domain / asset via the action button you can use the item bean.
So item.id would give you the the UUID from it.
You find the documentation of it not in the Core API but in the Workflow API.
The interface is

com.collibra.dgc.workflow.api.bean.WorkflowBusinessItem

I would be obliged if you please provide me with a working snippet of code including the import statement and the code used to get the community UUID (I am using groovy)

The workflow will be deployed so that it runs only from within a Community. It will appear on the Actions list as you mentioned

Please note I am after the Community id . I am not after the id that belongs to any Collibra Asset (e.g. Business Term or Acronym)

Regards

Hi,

item.getId()
or the groovy short form
item.id

is all the code that you need and you will not need any import statements for it.
The method will return the UUID of the community.

So I just used this code in the end and it works fine

import com.collibra.dgc.workflow.api.bean.WorkflowBusinessItem

//Get the root community from which the workflow was startUser
//============================================================
loggerApi.error("CP005 : Start Item Bean")
def vCommunityUUID = item.getCommunityId()
loggerApi.error("CP010 : The root community UUID is " + vCommunityUUID)
execution.setVariable('rootCommunityId', vCommunityUUID)
