Callback issues

Hi All,

Thanks in advance. I am trying to invoke two different successors depending on the call back value from the external ipl script. The external script either return a '0' or '1'. If the value returned is 0, the workflow proceeds to the right successor. But if the returned value is 1, the workflow just hangs. Any pointers wouls be greatly appreciated. Here is the portion of the workflow code and the external perl script as an attachment.

Thanks,
Jenni

Is your syntax wrong? It looks like you have this:


   <successors>
        <successorset description="blah">
            <succ v="zero"/>
            <succ v="one"/>
        </successorset>
   </successors>

When what you actually want is this:


   <successors>
        <successorset description="foo">
            <succ v="zero"/>
        </successorset>
        <successorset description="bar">
            <succ v="one"/>
        </successorset>
   </successors>

Hi Tom,

If I try your suggested method, the workflow is not triggering at all. The workflow mannual (pg. 211) talks about this.

Thanks,

Can you post what you tried ? Tom's example was correct except that he did not close the succ tags.

Oops...good catch.

As has already been pointed out - you're WFT code does not support the scripts logic. I believe what you need is:

        <successors>
           <successorset description="DataDeploySuccess">
  <template_script><![CDATA[                
  if ($fileType eq "Documents") {
   __INSERT__("<succ v='SupDeployment'/>");
  }
  else {
   __INSERT__("<succ v='Unlock'/>");
  }
                ]]></template_script>                                                                           
           </successorset>
           <successorset description="DataDeployFailure">
   <succ v='DeploymentFailure'/>
           </successorset>
        </successors>

This could probably be coded better / cleaner - but the above adjustments should work for the code you posted - assuming $fileType is set correctly.

Hi Tom,

Sorry about my previous reply. Yes I did test my workflow with your syntax. It worked fine. Files with wft extensions cannot be uploaded to devnet so I made them to txt files. Again thank you all for your participation.

Thanks!
