don't know if this is possible

Andy Knipp

I have a DCR with an owner defined (nipper, smitty, fish, etc). I want to have my WF open the DCR (easy enough) decide who owns it & make that person the approver.

Currently this is done with a nested job, I want to get rid of that.

My question is, currently I am reading the owner from the DCR in the start task. to get things ready for the nested.

For this work work without a nested WF, I would need to read the DCR and assign the owner before the job is instantiated.

Is this possible ? Obviously I cannot add a DCR after the job is started, but can I run something (that knows the filelist) before the job is started ?
