workflow scripts
Ottawa_IWOV
Does anyone know how I push the files from a workflow to a script that needs to be run as part of the workflow?
Thanks.

Assuming you are talking about an externaltask script, there are 2 ways:
1) my ($jobid,$taskid,$area,
@files)
=
@_
;
The filelist is always automatically passed to externaltask scripts as the 4th standard parameter. Note if you pass additional parameters, they will be passed in front of the standard ones, so the index is relative.
2) my ($jobid,$taskid,$area) =
@_
;
my $task = WFtask->new($taskid);
my
@files
= $task->GetFiles();
Use the WFtask->GetFiles90 method. This way is most desirable if you have enormous filelists. It also works in cgitask scripts.

I have a weired workflow issue. My script is running nicely from the command line with jobid, taskid and area vpath as the arguments. But it does not seem to run from the GUI driven interface..
What could the problem be here?
Thanks

Lucas,
Could you explain what you mean by running your script from the GUI driven interface? Are you trying to use the script in a CGI task?

when I run it by workflow (i.e. submit, pick a template, run job) the script doesn't execute. When I look at y:\ driv activity it shows iwgetmount.exe searching for a path, but doesn't find anything. The task complete (wuth no result), then goes to the next task (external task) that successfully run a script. I don't know what I could be missing.
But when I run the task from the command line, passing job id task id and area vpath it works like a charm

I'm sorry, but I am still not clear on how you are trying to execute your script. Is it being used as the command on an external task? If so, are you sure that it is not running? Unless an external task has a timeout, the task will not normally complete (i.e., transition) unless the system has executed the task.
Perhaps it would help if you could post your workflow and script (as attachments). That should give us a better idea of what you are doing.

the first is my script, the secvond is my workflow. I think that it doesn't like my sub otherFile, when I throw print statement inside that sub I am getting empty variables

I only had a brief glimps at the external task script and couldnt see where the callback was.
You need to execute the $task->CallBack method for the task to transition.
#$task->CallBack(0, "Success building other MetaData");
#exit(0);
It looks to be commented out in your script.
Mind you that was all I was looking for. I have no idea if the rest of it works.

I'm not sure why it's not running - but you really need to start using:
iwperl -w -c
scriptname
to verify the cleanliness of your code.
