Error while attaching files to a job

infyniti

Hi all,
I have created a workflow on the basis of "Author Submit with Deploy" workflow from the solutions provided by Interwoven.
When ever i try to attach files to a job, it throws an error

Invalid workflow:
Error:02429 Task is not a start task
Error: Could not add files to task Approver
Error: Error:02429: Task is not a start task.

Please find the workflow and the error in the attachment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Anant

I'm going to skip looking at the file you posted - you clearly are missing the relevance of the error messages and/or do not know enough about wft development and debugging.

In this particular case - you've tried adding a <files>...</files> element to a task which is not defined as a start task (start="t") - and you cannot do that.

So - you might want to do some more reading of the workflow manual, the workflow tutorial supplement (available on DevNet) and/or take a class on workflow development.

Fish,
Thanks a lot for you reply. I admit that I have to do a lot of reading on workflow manuals, which I am doing. This is my first project developing workflows.
Coming to your comment on setting the start="t", I did set it to true.

<usertask name="Transition to Author"
owner="__TAG__('iw_user');"
description="Notify author of pending content authoring task"
start="t"
lock="f">
<areavpath v="__TAG__('iw_workarea');"/>

<successors>
<successorset description="AuthorWork">
<succ v="AuthorWork"/>
</successorset>
</successors>

__INSERT__($iw_selected_files);

</usertask>

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I am using the "Author Submit with Deploy" as template to create my workflow which i tweaked around. This workflow works find if I don't attach files to it, which I already tested it.
Please advice.

The error message was with regard to the task 'Approver': <usertask name="Approver"
owner="__TAG__('iw_areaowner');"
description="Author Content Approval"
readonly="t">
...
<template_script><![CDATA[
if (@submit_file != 0)
{
__INSERT__("<files>\n");
for (my $i=0; $i < @submit_file; ++$i)
{
__INSERT__("
<file path='$submit_file[$i]' " .
"comment='__TAG__(File_comment_$i);'/>");
}
__INSERT__("</files>\n");
}

]]></template_script>
...
</usertask>

IN addition, APprover is a read only task so your approver will not be able to do anything to that job except say yes or no.

Just and FYI
