Change CGi task to External task in OOTB PLC workflow

deepti

Hi,
We are using OOTB Publish Livesite Content Workflow deployment related tasks to deploy to LSCS in our own workflow.We want to do the deployment to LSCS in our exisiting workflow which has external tasks only.Now when we try to put Deployment tasks from OOTB to our workflow, it stops at first CGI task as it require user intervention.

Few questions here:

1.Is there a way that we can avoid user intervention,start the CGi task somehow.
2.can we deploy to LSCS using one single external task
3.I found there few tasks which should be present along with DeployFiles task for Deployment to work,is there a way to do LSCS deployment without using OOTB workflow.

Thanks,
Deepti

This is a basic TeamSite workflow development question which is covered in the manuals. You have to mark the CGI Task with immediate="true" and you have to one of the following conditions:

Hi,
We have using Workflow Modeler to create workflows.
1.The Immediate flag for every CGI Task is set as true only and the owner is set to $IW_USER.
2.Based on the requirement we should not have any user /group task in between so cant fulfill this condition.
3.Moreover since we are using OOTB Livestie PLC workflow CGI tasks no idea where to use callback as it uses java approach to do all the processing for cgi tasks.Is there way I can achieve the questions i have asked in my initiated post.

Thanks,

Pardon my bluntness - unless you have one of the conditions I mentioned in my previous response you will not get the CGI Task to start immediately.

Hi,
We have used first condition where Immediate flag for every CGI Task is set as true only and the owner is set to $IW_USER.

Start-->External task-->Submit-->User Task-->External Task-->
(Add Required tags)CGiTask-->(Attach Deployment Target)CGi Task-->(Validate Files)CGI Task-->(DeployFiles)CGI Task

Is it because we have CGi tasks placed after external tasks in the workflow as given above? There comes a user interaction in above scenerio which we want to remove.All the above CGI Tasks are OOTB PLC workflow tasks used for LSCS deployment

Yes - if the CGI Task comes after an External Task you will always have to manually initiate the CGI Task.
If you have the code for the External Task and the CGI Task - try putting it all into the CGI Task and get rid of the External Task; then the CGI Task will be following a User Task which presumably is owned by the same user, and then (if immediate="true" is set) the CGI Task will run without any additional user intervention.

Thanks Ghoti,

Since we are using OOTB Livesite workflow code,No idea how can we club our code inside OOTB cgi Tasks.We need to think about some other approach where we can implement your suggestion.

Hi Deepti,

We have a similar requirement which you have mentioned. Can you please let me know how you have achieved it.

thanks,
