Archiving decision tasks

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

Are you sure you are talking about the outcome? I am looking at a log in
our (46C) system now, and the outcome name is not stored in the container.
The outcome name is the name you can see in the branch line of the workflow
builder. The RESULT container element stores the user selection (still
talking about a user decision task I suppose), but the outcome name is not
stored there. I suppose it is only stored with the workflow definition. You
don't *have to* name outcomes (in the Outcome tab of the step definition
screen) - so maybe they just aren't named in your system.
 
That said I have no idea whether it would be available again after
archiving and restoring - but it is not stored in the container (as far as
I can see).

The log does, but not once it's been archived. The outcome is stored in a
container element which is not archived.
Personally, I think the archiving setup is still a little iffy - the
container is after all one of the basic constructs of a workflow....
 
Thanks for the feedback though..
Cheers
Mike
