RenameWorkflow general event script is being executed before workflow ID is generated

Hi, I have rename workflow general event script which is called on first process step (on step is done event) in workflow. I have used echo messages to caputure execution of this script and found that workflow does not have workID created when this script being called. And as a result workflow is not renamed. Same script is working when I add a user step before first process step. Can any one please let me know what I need to do to ensure workID is being generated (means workflow initiation is complete).Thanks,AMOL KOMAWAR

Message from Nair, Krishnankutty N. via eLinkIf you don't want the user step put a robot/process step or a milestonethat can handle your event script.Don't attach it to anything likeworkflow is initiated.Only after workflow is initaited will the workid be known,so you may beup against a chicken and egg situation.I did it like this where I had topass the workflow title into a form template...Hope this helps -----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink Builder Discussion[mailto:componentbuilder@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 11:13 AMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: RenameWorkflow general event script is being executed beforeworkflow ID is generatedRenameWorkflow general event script is being executed before workflow IDis generatedPosted by Komawar, Amol G on 03/23/2006 12:08 PMHi, I have rename workflow general event script which is called on firstprocess step (on step is done event) in workflow.

Hi Krishnankutty, Thank you for the reply. I have tried already adding a process step/milestone before a process step where script is called. It did not help. Only thing that is working if I use a user step before eventscript process step. Here is what I have a configuration at present, I have a process step just after start step and on this process step I am calling rename workflow script on step is done event and this stetting is not working.

Hi Krishnankutty, Thanks for the script. I have attached script that I am using for renaming. Please suggest if I need to do different.
