Executing JavaScript as business rules

The built-in rules might not be sufficient to address all your business requirements. You can execute a JavaScript as an action in your business rule. If you need even more flexibility, you can write business rules in custom JavaScript files and execute them as actions.

Using built-in JavaScript as actions

You can execute a JavaScript by selecting Execute script as an action in the Rules Wizard. The Rules Wizard displays the list of built-in JavaScript, such as:

• alfresco docs.js.sample: Search and log all the docs containing Alfresco text

• append copyright.js.sample: Append the copyright line to text or HTML files

• backup.js.sample: Simple document backup script

• backup and log.js.sample: Back up files and log the date and time

• example test script.js.sample: Example of various API calls

• start-pooled-review-workflow.js: Starts the Pooled Review and Approve workflow

• test return value.js.sample: Return a value from a script—for the command servlet
