WF files in WFConstructor

Annad

Hi,
I am not quite familiar with using the WFConstructor when creating workflow. I always use the standard xml version of it.

Anyhow, here's my concern. I am (kind of) reusing the OOTB workflow (configurable_author_submit.wft) and doing some enhancements to it. Now, I can see that the when the workflow is declared the files are attached in the declare_workflow() method. However, when I tried to access the files in one of the external task in the ipl file, I get an empty list. Is there any other places that I have to add the WF files??

Please see the attached wft file. I am trying to access files in the first task "add_alt_files" (at ~ line 828).

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Anna.

1. Have you *preselected* Files before instantiating you WF? The mechanism you are talking about covers only those.

2.Set $debugging to TRUE. In the resulting CGI window you would be able to see if your preselected Files are really attached.
If they are - you have a problem in your external task. If not - you messed up IWOV sample and will have to do more digging
