Can we extract filepath?

Hi all,

I have a link which instantiates a workflow using iwwft_instantiator.cgi. It has a variable called iw_setwfarg_filePath which has a filename as its value.

I know... it would create a job variable named 'filePath', but my query is somewhat different. I need to capture the value before instantiation of the workflow.

Can we do that? If yes, then please provide suggestion/pointers. Would appreciate all the help.

I assume by "before instantiation" you mean "during instantiation - before instantiation has completed" - yes? What do you think __TAG__() and __VALUE__() functions are for?

If this is not what you meant - you'll have to be a lot more descriptive about what you are trying to accomplish

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the concern, but as i am using iw_setwfarg_filePath for passing the value... which in turns creates a job variable. As per my understanding, i can not capture a job variable value during instatiation.

Also, if i understand your view point then.. are you saying me to pass the values along with parameter instead of creating job variable using iw_setwfarg_*?
