Update timeout in dummytask

Hello

I am trying to dynamically setup a timeout date on a dummytask based on the metadata of the files in the workflow.

Prior to the <dummytask>, I use an <externaltask> where I retrieve the metadata of the file, convert the date to MMDDYYYYHHMM, obtain the task ID of my <dummytask> and use the SetTimeout() function from the WFTask module.

Since the above didn't work, I also tried to use the command line 'iwsettasktimeout' but got the same result.

The timeout value get changed to 0

Does anyone know what this is not working? Your help is appreciated.

Mimi
