Background attribute in wftfile element.
deanluckittaro
I'm customizing the configurable_author_submit.wft file and have replaced the submit task with my own nested workflow. For my nested workflow, I would like to set the background attribute of the wftfile element to 't', but I am unable to figure out how to do so. In declare_task I can set a value for wftfile, but how do I set the background attribute for the wftfile element?

I just modified WFconstructor.pm so that it also adds background='t' when I set the value for wftfile. However, the nested workflow still requires manual intervention to start. I think it's missing some required variables or something which I found earlier in another post somewhere....

Here's the DTD for it:
<!-- ****************************************
If background is 't', then TeamSite will attempt to start a job using the wftfile assuming necessary args will be provided in task variables (for details, see documentation for iwwft_compile.pl. If background job creation fails, then the GUI will present the user the option to start a job. Defaults to false (requiring user intervention). **************************************** -->
<!ELEMENT wftfile EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST wftfile v CDATA #REQUIRED background (t|f) "f">
And here it is used in real life:
<wftask name="BrandMainExecuteDBAWorkflow"
owner="__TAG__('iw_user');"
description="Brand Main - Execute DBA Process Workflow">
__INSERT__("
<areavpath v='$assignment_vpath'/>");
<successors>
<successorset description="Done">
<succ v="BrandMainEmailPendingInitialDevelopmentDelivery"/>
</successorset>
</successors>
<wftfile v="/interwoven/iw-home/local/config/wft/nike/brand_dba.wft"
background="t"
/>
<activation>
<pred v="BrandMainCheckDBAWorkflow" />
</activation>
</wftask>

Thanks Dave. Actually, I was not clear in my initial post. I'm using TeamSite::WFconstructor (declare_task, set_task_attribute, etc.) to create the spec. There doesn't seem to be a function to set the background attribute of the wftfile element to 't' there.

Why are you doing that? Just curious. I'm not surprised that it isn't an option for you. You may have to build the job spec another way.

Because I'm just updating solutions/configurable_author_submit.wft and replacing the submit task with my own nested workflow. Just got everything to work! My nested workflow required a variable, debug, which I did not set in configurable_author_submit.wft. So I just removed the variable from my nested workflow and it all went through. I figure if I set the variable in configurable_author_submit.wft it'll work too but I have other things on my plate at the moment. Thanks for your feedback.
