VALUE not working in case of WFTemplate

hi ,

Using TS 6.5 SP2 Sol 5.8

__VALUE__ is not working if i am calling the workflow using Workflow::WFTemplate.

[HTML]sub main()
{
my $xml_spec = generateXMLSpecification("$wft_file",
{
UID => "$UID",
AreaPath => "$area_path",
TargetServer => "$target_flag",
Edition => "$edition_flag",
ConfigurationFlag => "$configuration_flag",
DeploymentType => "$deploy_type",
FileFlag => "$file_flag",
BranchPath => "$branch_path",
IsEditionFileDeployList => "$isEditionFileDeployList",
EditionFileList => "$edition_file_list",
FileListTag => "$file_list_tag",
ScheduleFlag => "$schedule_flag",
TimeCalc => "$time_calc",
DateFlag => "$date_flag",
HourFlag => "$hour_flag",
MinuteFlag => "$minute_flag",
DeployerFirstName => "$firstName",
DeployerLastName => "$lastName"
});

$logger->debug("WFT spec is " . $xml_spec);
my $wferror;
my $wf_system = TeamSite::WFsystem->new();
# Create a new Workflow
my $wf = $wf_system->CreateWorkflow($xml_spec);

}[/HTML]

__TAG__ is working fine outside the <template_script>

It's hard to tell what really happened since you did not post "generateXMLSpecification" function. In general
however VALUE and TAG elements are not complimentary. If you set tag in your code it does not mean
that it's value is automatically available through __VALUE__ function.
There is (little) more to it than *__VALUE__ in template, __TAG__ in XML* mantra

Hi Boris

Thanks for ur reply.

Here is my generateXMLSpecification

[HTML]
sub generateXMLSpecification
{
my ($wft_file, $vars) = @_;

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create New Workflow Object
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
my $wft = TeamSite::WFtemplate->new(template => $wft_file);

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Process Hash With Workflow Variables
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
foreach my $key ( keys( %{$vars} ) )
{
$wft->{tag}{$key}{value} = $$vars{$key};
}

foreach( keys( %{$wft->{tag}} ) )
{
$logger->debug("in WF: Keys: $_" . " Value:" . $wft->{tag}{$_}{value});
$wft->{cgi_elem}{$_} = 1;
}

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Get Tags From Workflow Specification
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
my @tags = $wft->get_tags();

$logger->debug("Tags:");

foreach(@tag)
{
$logger->debug("$_");
}

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Perform Some Error Checking
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
my $error = $wft->get_error_message();

$logger->debug("Error is " . $error);

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Write XML Specification For WFT File
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
my $wf_spec = $wft->get_workflow();

return ($wf_spec);
}

Let me know if I need to modify it to get the values in __VALUE__

You seem to have a problem with your logistics:

1. my $wft = TeamSite::WFtemplate->new(template => $wft_file);
At this point wft is parsed and processed, your __VALUE__ calls including, they are undefined.

2. You set up Tags (loop and all)

3. my $wf_spec = $wft->get_workflow();
This call merges data collected for all the tags with the workflow template, hence __TAG__ working in your code.

Think of it as if you go through a standard WF GUI: process wft->show form to collect WF tags->generate XML Specs with collected Data.
So... What are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps you can massage __VALUE('iw_workarea')__ to get your "AreaPath"?

Hi Boris

Thanks for ur reply again.

I tried with __VALUE__('iw_workarea'); ...but it is comming blank.

Also I am initiating my workflow from EDITION.

I was just wondering that , neither __VALUE__ nor __TAG__('AreaPath'); is working in tag .

Currently I am using

$areaPath = __VALUE__('AreaPath');

Even if i replace it with

$areaPath = __INSERT__("__TAG__('AreaPath')");

this is giving me value "0)" ...

Could u please suggest me a way so that i can get the value of 'AreaPath' form variable in my wft within

I probably was not clear in my previous post. All that (eg wft) gets interpreted before you have a chance to set your custom TAGs.
Your wft (__VALUE__ and all) gets evaluated during "TeamSite::WFtemplate->new(...)" call. At this point your TAGs are undefined
and it is absolutely irrelevant how you set them later.

The way you set it up it looks like you must provide tags with TeamSite::WFtemplate::new, so that wft parsing/evaluation
process already has an access to them. You may want to try something like that

my $wft = TeamSite::WFtemplate->new(
   template => $wft_file,
   custom_hash => (
      AreaPath => $area_path,
      UID => $UID,
      . . .
    ),
);

If it does not work run iwperldoc for TeamSite::WFtemplate and see what else you can do.

You might also try to just call out to iwwft_compile.ipl and use its method for setting parameters in the WFT - its generally a lot easier.

Also - if you read the perldoc for WFtemplate - you'll see that default value for vpath is "/" which is probably not what you want - instead you need to pass the desired vpath value into the call of new()
