Hi

After the submit, you can retrieve the values of "environments" somehow like this:
my $environments = __VALUE__('environments');
You can choose to put those values into an array or in a string and then pass this information where you need it as parameters of your IPL or even better in a task variable like this:
set_task_variable('myTask', 'myVar_environments', $environments);

I wrote like this

if( __ELEM__(' environments ' ) > 1 )
{

my @deployenvs;
for($i=0; $i < __ELEM__(' environments' ); $i++)
{
$deployenvs[$i] = __VALUE__(' environments[$i] ');
}
}

is this correct

You might try:

my @deployenvs = __VALUE__('environments');

I believe that __VALUE__ understands whether it is being called within a scalar or list context and "does the right thing" - of course that may not really help you too much if you're trying to make the information available to an externaltask or cgitask script. For that, you might be better off doing something like:

my $deployenvs = join("|", __VALUE__('environments'));

and then setting a job variable (e.g.:

deploy_envs

) to the value of $deployenvs.

Then your other script can re-create the array by:

my @envs = split('|', $job->GetVariable("deploy_envs"));

I dont know how to set the job variable ,can you explain in detail.

Adam Stoller

Where can I set the variable , in <template_script> tag itself or in <externaltask>

Read the manuals, read the iwwf.dtd, experiment and learn by doing.

Note - the actual answer depends on how you write your WFT.

Ok I read the manuals and here is what I came up with

I did as in the attached file ,but it is giving me an error that it is not well formed at the variable tag.

If I say value="$deployenvs" it is literally taking $deployenvs as value but not what is contained in it.Now what?

[/html]First of all - in XML, you must quote all attribute values, secondly, if you're not within a template_script section - you need to use an accessor function to retrieve the value of the Perl variables - so it should probably be:

...
    <variable key="deploy_envs" value="__INSERT__('$deployenvs');"/>
    ...

developer2008

I tried it but no luck still getting $deployenvs as the value of the variable

Please post [the relevant portions of] the WFT code - where you're doing the TAG_Info(), where you're setting the Perl variable, and where you're trying to use the Perl variable.

IWhile deploying files I am trying to select the environments so that I can deploy to multiple environments at a time, and I want to send the selected environments to an external task ,so this in my wft file

[html]

TAG_info(
environments => [ html => "" .
" DEV" .
" QA" .
" PROD" .
"",
label => "Select Environments",
],
);

if(__ELEM__('environments')>1)
{

my $deployenvs;
$deployenvs=join("|",__VALUE__('environments'));
}

workflow script is like this

[/html]

and in my ipl file I am trying to retrieve like this

my($jobid, $taskid, $area) = (shift,shift,shift);
my $task = new TeamSite::WFtask($taskid);
my $job = new TeamSite::WFworkflow($jobid);
my @files = $task->GetFiles();
my $tempstring = $job->GetVariable("deploy_envs")
my @envs = split('|', $job->GetVariable("deploy_envs"));
open(LOG,">>/tmp/blank.log");
print LOG "tempstring=$tempstring\n"
my @result;
my $flag = 0;
my $status = "All the content has been sucessfully loaded";
my $comment=$job->GetDescription();

but I am not getting the value into $tempstring

developer2008

I got it.

Thanks so much Ghoti and Tejul too for all your help
