RECTIFICATION - Passing attachments from a workflow to another workflow

Fri Jul 23 15:21:30 EDT 2004

H=E9l=E8ne,

My suggestion was based on a design whereby the main workflow calls the
subworkflow as a step/task within it and NOT by triggering an event to =
start
the subworkflow. If this is your design:=20

>From within the workflow graphical editor, double-click on the step/node
that represents the task that calls your subworkflow. Then, click on the
button labeled "Binding". There is a multi-line container element named
"_Attach_Objects". Pass (i.e. bind) that to the corresponding element in =
the
subworkflow. Repeat for each task in the subworkflow and the attachments
will be available to them.=20

If on the other hand, you trigger an event to start the subworkflow, I =
am
not sure how the attachments can be passed as the Event Container does =
not
appear to have this element. I probably should have paid more attention =
to
your use of the word "trigger" if you meant it literally. If this is the
case, I wonder if your design could be changed to the former to =
facilitate
the passing of information between the two workflows?

Best regards,

Hi Jim,

Since it is from one workflow to another workflow, which binding do you
mean... can you explain.

Thank you!

H=E9l=E8ne,

Have you tried passing _ATTACH_OBJECTS to the subworkflow via the =
binding?

Hope this helps,

I did not explain properly the first time, turns out that my main =
workflow
get completed at the end while one of the branches trigers a completely
seperate workflow.  Some attributes of the main workflow I need to pass =
to
the second workflow.

Any idea how to do that?

Strange....   I thought attachements were transferred automatically from
main WF to subflow...
At least if the attachment existed on the moment the subflow
started........

Kind regards

Koenraad

(by the way .. I think there are functions to manually bind a certain
attachement to a certain workitem id......  SWL_WI_NOTE_CREATE?)

subworkflow

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to pass attachments, which have been created or
imported by users, from a fairly complex staffing workflow to some other
subworkflows.

My problem is, when within the subworkflows, which have been generated =
by
the system, the attachments are lost.  How do we bind between the two?

We are on 4.6, soon going to 4.7.  Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you!
