WFTask thru wfConstructor

Hi all,

I have some files in a job and want to attach the same files in a WFtask of that job. My WFTask is being declared thru dynamic workflow creation using WFConstructor.

Any suggestions / pointers are all welcome.

Working Env : TS 6.1 and TS 6.7.1

Thanks,

Thanks,

use TeamSite::WFconstructor;
my @attach_files = ();
my @attach_file_comments = ();

# Populate File Arrays
. . .
declare_workflow(name => "Foo Moo WF",
   owner => $iw_user,
   creator => $iw_user,
   description => "Foo Moo",
   files => \@attach_files,
   file_comments => \@attach_file_comments,
);

Thanks Boris,

The solution provided is to attach the files with dynamically generated workflow, however i need to pass on these files to WFTask element of the same workflow.

use TeamSite::WFconstructor;
my @attach_files = ();
my @attach_file_comments = ();

# Populate File Arrays
. . .
declare_workflow(name => "Foo Moo WF",
owner => $iw_user,
creator => $iw_user,
description => "Foo Moo",
files => \@attach_files,
file_comments => \@attach_file_comments,
);

Not sure if that covers what you need but take a look anyway.
It illustrates both supplying Files for dynamically created WFs and possible attachment processing within wft using WFConstructor

Please explain exactly what you mean by "dynamically generated workflow" and "pass on these files to a WFTask".

Are you providing a WFT or a job spec to the WFTask?

If I recall (it's been a while since I've head to deal with nested workflows) the child workflow either gets all the parent workflows files by default, or has access to a parent taskid and/or jobid from which it can obtain the file list - at the very worst you can start the workflow out with an externaltask that uses TeamSite::WFworkflow->GetParentTask() and retrieve the files from there.

Providing the WFT file.

Thanks, my requirement is over after using GetParentTask.
