How can I enable the Next URL step so I can see it?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello,

We are doing some tests with an external web page, we installed the XML WF Extensions because we saw in the documentation that it comes with a Next URL step that might just help us, but :

It does not display in the UI by default, where can I change this so I can add it to my workflow?

Thanks!

what are you trying to achieve ?

Hello @Greg Griffiths

We want to send the workflow initiator to sign a document where he signs a document wherever he wants, for this because we can't use Core Signature, we developed an external webpage where we send the document through an HTTP step to our solution, then we need to redirect somehow the initiator there and send the signed attachment back to the workflow.

We are also investigating Web Reports for this.

And I saw through the documentation that the Next URL step from XML Workflow Extensions Module can help us, any idea how can I enable this?

Thanks!

@Alexandru Ghita I do not have the current XML WF Extensions to look so found the old way.Please look to see if the new documentation or release notes mention this

Note: The Editing and insertion of opentext.ini are so yesteryear that OT now puts everything in KIni table or wherever they can read on startup so there is not a sure-fire way for me to tell you if it will work.

The second point to note is OT has an ObjectFactory and UsageFactory concept. We call it SubType Privileges and Usage Privileges. Chances are when you find the Usage Privileges there might be an entry that looks like nextURl or XML WF Extenisions specific that you have to enable.

It is found by searching in admin.index for "privil"

The truth table that runs then is something like

IF UsagePriv is allowed and the User is part of it then show command.I will not fall for if it says "Unrestricted" :)
