CGI Task

Konidala

I want to pass the variable from CGI Task to WFT. My requirement is user will enter datetime in the CGI Task and need to pass this datetime as timeout value to a dummy task in the WFT. Any help would be appriciated.

Just set a workflow variable within a CGITASK and retrieve the variable value within your dummytask.

Use SetVariable method to set the value of the variable and then insert the value in timeout element of your dummytask.

__INSERT__($launchTime);

Insted of passing the value of the varibale from CGI task to WFT just set the dummy task timeout value from the CGI task.


my $job_id = $task->GetWorkflowID();
my $job = TeamSite::WFworkflow->new($job_id);

my ($success, $dummy_task ) = $job->GetTaskByName("dummy_task_name");
if($success){
    #set dummy task timeout.
    $dummy_task->SetTimeout($timeout);
}

Kaalraa,

Your advise is basically sound: Set variable in one task and retrieve in another. __INSERT__ however won't work. It belongs to WF template and therefore is executed once upon WF Instantiation, well before CGI Task is run and value obtained

Thanks Boris.

I had not think it over about its working... was just providing a conceptual overview.

Anyways ... one more thing to add along with Batasari solution. Before using SetTimeout function, make sure the dummytask should be in INACTIVE state.
