Value of Transition (TS 6.5,Windows 2003 )

Hi

I have attached the tasks of my WFT . I have A,B,C,D,E transitions in the User task. And I am calling the same same external task for A,B,C,D transitions. How can I make my external task recognise if the user had chosen A or B or C or D for transition to this external task. I want to perform a different activity for each selected transition and it will be the same external ipl file doing this.

Thanks in advance

You need to label the task differently as per the transitions,e.g - taskA for transition A and so on.
While declaring the taskA, you can set a task variable with the value A and do the same for all the other 3 tasks(transitions).Then in the ipl file which will be same for all the 4 tasks,retrieve the value of the task variable and depending upon its value,perform the desired set of instructions as per the requirement.

This means I need to have 4 external task. Cant I do it using just one external task, which inturn calls the same ipl , for all the four transitions?

I dont think that it can be done with a single task as the transitions are different but the ipl will be the same that will be called from all the 4 tasks.

I recommend to use a CGITASK instead of your usertask. In CGI task, you can play with user interactions, as of which button was clicked and on the same event .... update a job variable of same name to be read by your next external task.

But I want to have a user task and the regular transaction buttons , instead of the CGI Task and just 1 External task after that!!!!

I think that's most, if not all of the options available given the problem statement.
