External tasks are getting invoked simultaneously????

SE123

Hi,

I am facing an issue, I have written a WFT in which I have an external task(ET1) then this task invokes an user task(UT1) using chooseTranstion in Java and user task then invokes an another external task(ET2) and then end task(END).

Now in this flow when ET1 invokes the java class where I set a task variable and a job variable (Job variable I want to use in ET2), but the moment I set the task variable using task.setVariable... my ET2 java class gets invoked i.e. I can see the debug statements which I had made in ET2. However, when I had commented the code task.setVariable then ET2 code got invoked while executing the line job.setVariable(i.e. while setting Job variable) in my first workflow(ET1).

Could someone please suggest where I am committing mistake because I want the whole execution to be taken place in an above defined flow.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using the same class for ET1 and ET2?

My guess - you have the

start="t"

attribute set on both your externaltasks - thus they both start as soon as the job is instantiated.

If neither is a start-task, then I would look at whether you defined both externaltasks within a single successorset for some other task, such that they both start at the same time.

Without seeing the actual job specification file it is difficult to provide any other input. With seeing it, we may still need to see other code - but frankly, I'm guessing the problem is what I mentioned first.

Thanks, Ghoti I was doing the same thing which you had mentioned i.e. start was written for both tasks. But does that means we need to specify start attribute for only very first task which is written in job specification file.

If you have to ask that question it means you need more training in the fundamentals of [TeamSite] workflow design and development. Either that, or you should hire someone who has that knowledge and experience to come in and do the work for you (and hopefully train you as part of knowledge transfer at the end of the engagement).

I was starting to worry about you when you gave away a bunch of free code in another thread, but now I'm feeling better. Whew! Smiley Very Happy

Many thanks Ghoti for your solution, it worked for me.
Just want to say that no trainer can provide in & out knowledge of anything it only comes from practice and discussions which is currently I am doing. Thanks for your suggestion too....
