WF Variables and WFM

Andy Knipp

OK, I am playing with WFM. My questions are around how WFM and external tasks behave.

I have an external task that does a check for review needed. First, how can I get the value of IW_REVIEWER(ID12345) in my perl ? I can easily set a second task variable (and hard code it), but since I have it already, I should be able to use what is there.

I have tried using $IW_REVIEWER as well as creating a task variable reviewer and assign it $IW_REVIEWER. No luck.

Also, trying to return from the external task, I have 3 transitions defined. ReviewNeeded (Conditional on True), ReviewNotNeeded (Conditional on False), and Error (which is a timeout). I tried CallBack ("false", "Review Needed") but that is going to my timeout.

So do I need to set a task variable in the script and then write JS to interrogate that value ?

I am certainly liking the old way better.

Tips/Pointers/RTFMs appreciated.
