Workflow information in DCT

System

Hi,

I want to fetch the workflow information in the DCT.
In my DCT, I have nearly 100 fields. There are few business roles (Not the TS roles) for the workflow. Different roles has different flows.
Based on the role of user, I need to show the fields of DCR. But to set the visibility of fields, I need to know the which business role is editing the dcr.

If I could get Job ID or Task Id in the dct then I can solve my purpose. Is there anyway to get it in the DCT? Or any other suggestion to resolve it.

Thanks in advance
Rajesh

I'm not sure that this is the "best" way - but off the top-of-my-head it seems like a "possible" way:

If you cannot manage the business role information at the EA level - then your callServer script will need to retrieve that from the workflow using the jobid/taskid information.It's up to you to figure out what you need and where/when/how you can access it.

[QUOTE=ghoti]I'm not sure that this is the "best" way - but off the top-of-my-head it seems like a "possible" way:

The users can run there workflows at the same time. They don't edit the same dcr at the same time but they create the new workflows (While creating a job we show the users job ids and task ids and the owners of the flow). If I will use EA approach then it will overwrite the previous values of job ids or task ids(If the dcr is attached to more than one workflow.). Along with this we use iwcmp(In our workflows) to compare the files which shows differences once the EA is set on a dcr though user has not edited it.Even in the environment variables(using inline commands) don't contain any workflow related information except the workarea.

(a) it is generally recommended that you prevent users from associating a single file with multiple workflows (something that, IMO, should be possible OOTB, but instead requires custom coding to enforce)
(b) If you use EAs, you can always use character-separated (e.g.: comma or semi-colon) values for the EAs, though I don't think that will really help you if you don't have a clear model of the context in which the DCR is being edited since it could be edited in any of N jobs or even directly from the TS GUI (if not already locked).
