Archiving of completed workflows

Hi,

When all tasks gets completed in workflow, job id of that workflow is not seen in Teamsite.
Can I archive workflows whose tasks get completed? I can see the past workflows only through logs but sometimes it becomes difficult to keep track of all ended worklfow.
We have a business requirement where we need to keep track of all completed workflows along with the content that got deployed using that workflow. Can I archive completed workflows other than log files?

Is teamsite having any method to keep track of completed workflows?

Thanks,

You have several choices available to you:

It used to be an 'offering' from consulting that was called Workflow+ . It involved setting up a separate directory structure and a set of a few external tasks and custom CGIs that were saving workflow XML and were even displaying it in graphical form.

What ghoti is suggesting goes in line with this. The easiest task would be to simply dump XML (you can always grab the workflow XML using iwgetwfobj) into a file.

But I always was critical of IWOV for not offering any historical view on workflows OOTB. OpenDeploy could do it to a degree. TeamSite can't.

Thanks a lot.

I have created ".ipl" script and added it in an external task. If i run only .ipl file through command prompt, I am able to get the output in xml format.

But if I run the same .ipl script using workflow, though that external task runs successfully I am not able to get any xml file.

Few lines of my ipl file,

$logger->info("JOBID = $jobid");
$logger->info("TaskId = $task_id");
$key = "IWOD60HOME";
$iwodhome = $ENV{$key};
$logger->info("iwodhome = $iwodhome");
my $test =`iwgetwfobj $task_id >> $task_id.xml`;
$logger->info("check the value = $test");
$logger->info("before callback");
$task->CallBack(0, "Successful");
$logger->info("after callback");

Can anyone tell where i am going wrong?

try to put a full path to iwgetwfob when you backtick it.

also, I think it's better to get job's XML rather than task's one

try to put a full path to iwgetwfob when you backtick it.

I tried giving my $test =`D:/Interwoven/Opendeploy/bin/iwgetwfobj jobid >> jobid.xml`;

but same issue is happening. ipl is working fine if i am running thorugh command prompt but not when i run using workflow.

/Interwoven/Opendeploy/bin/ ?? Opendeploy? Are you sure?

Sorry its OpendeployNG and not opendeploy

still. why it's Opendeploy, not Teamsite path?

Surprise, i tried running iwgetwfobj from different drive and from different path, I am getting the same result.

Irrespective of path, xml should get generated using workflow which is not happening.

by now you should be able to work out as to why you are not getting it Smiley Happy

happy debugging! Smiley Happy

There are several issues with the above line of code.

Perhaps some of the above comes from an inexperience in posting details in the forums...?

[QUOTE=ghoti]There are several issues with the above line of code.

I am working on the same issue. I tired using "my $test =`iwgetwfobj $job_id`". I am getting the proper command output (I got the output through logs). The returned valued is stored in $test. But when I try to save the response in a file, no file is being created. When I tried executing this ipl file using command prompt , the XML file was created in the same location as that of the ipl file. The value of $test in the logs was "1", since the execution was complete. I tired creating the file by two ways,1. my $test =`iwgetwfobj $job_id >> $job_id.xml`;The file was not created. Since the execution was incomplete the value of $test was "0"2. my $test =`iwgetwfobj $job_id`; my $test1 = `$test >> $job_id.xml`;The file was not created. Since the execution of first line was complete the value of $test was the command output. But the value of $test1 was "0" since the execution of second line was incomplete.The $job_id is rendering properly.Basically, the command is working properly but the file is not being created. Kindly let me know that how can we resolve this issue?
