task variable?

manju166

I am selecting a variable from cgitask and passing it to a variable in external task but its not working........

In cgitask I am setting the variable
print "$varname = $mydata\n";
$workflow->SetVariable("$mydata", $edit_dcr);

In external task
my $workflow_id = $task->GetWorkflowId();
my $workflow = new TeamSite::WFworkflow($workflow_id);
my $edit_file = $workflow->GetVariable("edit_dcr");

I think I am missing something, as my getvariable "edit_dcr" value is null.
Anyhelp is appreciated

Thanks
Manju

Is it safe to assume that the value of $mydata is "edit_dcr"? Not sure you'd need the double quotes in the SetVariable command, but that probably won't make much difference. Hard to say what's going on without seeing both scripts and your workflow. Perhaps you could post them.

Dude, in your CGI script, nowhere do you ever set $edit_dcr before assigning it in this statement:

$workflow->SetVariable("$mydata", $edit_dcr);

You are assigning nothing to your variable, which is why you are seeing nothing when you look at the variable. Try setting the value of $edit_dcr and then it should work.

my bad, thanks for response

if (!$workflow->GetVariable("edit_dcr")){
$workflow->CreateVariable("edit_dcr", $mydata);
} else {
$workflow->SetVariable("edit_dcr", $mydata);
}

I did set the variable, but its not working. any idea as why ?

Appreciate your response
Thanks

Make sure $mydata has something in it. Print out the value of $mydata before you do anything. Then set the variable and do a GetVariable immediately and print out the results. Would also help if you posted your debug output.

Also make sure that $mydata, i.e. the value that you are setting the workflow variable to, is quoted:


if (!$workflow->GetVariable("edit_dcr")){
$workflow->CreateVariable("edit_dcr", "$mydata");
} else {
$workflow->SetVariable("edit_dcr", "$mydata");
}

There are a number of problems here - but I think the biggest is that you are assuming that there is any contents in $ENV{QUERY_STRING} after you've already created a new CGI object. That generally parses the query string and puts the data into a hash.

In general, I think you'll find it easier to use TeamSite::CGI_lite than CGI in this case, but in either case, once you parse the data, it's no longer sitting in the QUERY_STRING environment.

For CGI - I think you'd need to change:

@values = split(/&/,$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
foreach $i (@values) {
($varname, $mydata) = split(/=/,$i);
...
}

To something like:

@values = $cgi->param();
foreach my $i (@values){
($varname, $mydata) = ($i, $cgi->param($i));
}

Note - this loops through the entire list of parameters, and when it's done the *last* value will be left in mydata - and that's what you're apparently using as the workflow variable [key] name - and the copy of the script I'm looking at (from one of your early posts) never sets $edit_dcr - so there's no way that's going to have any information.

You really need to work on the basic code first - make sure you understand what you're doing - and then try to get all the pieces to work together.
