get task id

In a external task how to get the task-id of the other tasks.
Only the task id of the current task(external task) is passed to the external task?
pls help me?

Since an external task also gets the job id, the CLT iwgettaskbyname will get you the task id of another task.

$IWHOME/bin/iwgettaskbyname 4565 MyTaskName

usage: /usr/iw-home/bin/iwgettaskbyname [-h] [-v] [-s servername] workflowID taskName
-h Print this message
-v Print version
-s servername Use servername as TeamSite server
workflowID Job in which to lookup task
taskName Name of task to lookup

You can also do something like this (I'm typing this in off the top of my head, so forgive me if there are any syntax errors)

use TeamSite::WFworkflow;
use TeamSite::WFtask;
$taskObject = TeamSite::WFtask->new($taskid);
$jobId = $taskObject->GetWorkflowId();
$jobObject = TeamSite::WFworkflow->new($jobId);
@taskList = $jobObject->GetTasks(); #The doc says it returns a
#reference to a list containing
#TeamSite::WFtask objects.
#my syntax may be wrong here.

foreach $task (@taskList) {
print $task->GetName() . "\n";
}

If you want a specific task, you can use:
($status, $task) = $jobObject->GetTaskByName("xxxxx"); # replace xxxxx with task name
