Body of the URI task cannot get value of CONFIGURABLE variable

This is in continuation of my earlier thread titled:
"CONFIGURABLE VARIABLE IN EMAIL Task "

I am using workflow modeler and have a CONFIGURABLE variable named "Time" being captured in the instantiation screen .
During one of the tasks (the 3rd one in my workflow), I have a URI task basically configured to send an email.
I am using OOB xsl (JobNotification.xsl) with "BodyStylesheet" value specified as OOB xsl (JobNotification.xsl) with URI as OOB ClassName
com.interwoven.livesite.spring.workflow.task.DelegatingUrlExternalTaskProxy (http://$IW_SERVER:$IW_PORT/iw-cc/urlexternaltask).

As per recommendation from Fish earlier, I tried to capture this CONFIGURABLE variable within a task variable.
Thus I defined a variable called "When" and assigned CONFIGURABLE(Time) to it.

Now I was trying to capture it in the body of my email xsl, but I am unable to.
I successfully capture the value of CONFIGURABLE(Time) within the subject of the email but need help with getting this value within the body.

I tried using getting the variable value from the active task like this:

But to fail

Can anyone help please or point me in the right direction. I am not able to find any docs for this.

As highlighted above (with the code now visible) - you say you declared the task variable "When", but your code is trying to reference a task variable named "Time" - make sure those are consistent before declaring this attempt at accessing it as non-working.

Beyond that, since I don't have handy the XML output of the job information that is being processed by your XSL, I cannot verify that your means of accessing it is correct - so if fixing the above doesn't solve the problem, you'll probably have to post the XML dump (preferably as an attachment) and the revised XSL code (either properly formatted to show up or also as an attachment) in order for someone to assist you further.

Hi Fish,

I have it working.

I was incorrectly parsing the xsl and reading the Task variable.

I had a task variable defined as: When and assigned as an CONFIGURABLE{ActualTime}

Then in my xsl, I am reading the value incorrectly

I had incorrectly coded xsl to read the task variable.

Again, thanks fish

Learn to format your posts.

By putting [ php ] and [ /php ] around your XML/XSL it will be visible.

Or select your XML and click the button on the TinyMCE menu that says Wrap PHP tags
when you hover
