Due Date in the Job / Task

Hi There,

I have a Due Date field in my Job Inititation Screen. I capture this value in the Workflow varibles.

Now, I am getting the correct value (03/31/11) in the email and Job, however the task is not showing me incorrect due date its showing due date as (03/18/11).

Any idea why I am getting wrong due date in the task and correct due date in Job and email?

I am note sure where to look, any configs, settings etc. I do not see anything worng in the code as the workflow works fine.

Thanks in Advance.

Without seeing the actual code in question - especially where and how you're setting the due date information as a workflow variable - it's rather difficult to know what you might be doing incorrectly.

Hi Fish,

The code is simple straight forward. I capture the Due Date and Priority in the Job Inititation page as below:

[html]
my $Priority = __VALUE__('priority');
my $Due_Date = __VALUE__('due_date');

my $priorityHtml .= "

\n";
$priorityHtml .=" \n";
$priorityHtml .="0-Very High\n";
$priorityHtml .="1-High\n";
$priorityHtml .="2-Medium\n";
$priorityHtml .="3-Low\n";
$priorityHtml .="4-Very Low\n";
my($priority_html) = $priorityHtml;

#date control-calendar
my $javascriptcode = "<script language='JavaScript'>function open_calendar(){window.open('/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/z_calendar.cgi','false','width=230px,height=250px,left=750,top=450,titlebar=no,status=no,resizab le=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars =no');}</script>\n";
my($duedate_html);
$duedate_html = $javascriptcode.$duedate_html;
$duedate_html .= "\n\t";
$duedate_html .= "\n\t";

TAG_info(

divider4 => [
label => "",
html => " ",
is_required => 'false',
],

iw_setwfarg_priority => [
html => "$priority_html",
label => 'Priority',
is_required => 'false',
],

iw_setwfarg_due_date => [
html => $duedate_html,
label => "Due Date",
error_msg => "Please select a due date",
is_required => 'false',
],

iw_setwfarg_comments => [
label => "Job Description",
is_required => "true",
html => "",
valid_input => "check_description()",
error_msg => $error_string_desc,
],
);
[/html]

In my workflow specs, I have a user task for approval. Its at this task I am getting a difference due date. Not sure if the timeout that I have in the user task is causing this issue.

[html]

owner="$2"
description="Approve the content in the Development environment -- $br"
lock="f"
readonly="t">

[/html]

Hope the code is not that confusing.

Thanks in advance.

While I'm happy that I managed to help, please elaborate on what the issue was / how it was fixed, so everyone gains from the information (and close the thread)

In the usertask, I have a Remainder successor in the timeout. The remainder task calls an esclation ipl script where I overwrite the due_date variable. I corrected it and the workflow works as expected.

Thanks again for your help.
