  • 1.  Task preconditions - Data is generated at runtime and not available yet

    I’m seeing the following error when trying to modify the preconditions of a workflow task.

    Has anyone seen this before?

    I have not seen this before.  But I don't think we use *OWN in our precondition rules, so I would guess that for some unknown reason it wants to resolve the agent but that can only be done at runtime(?)

    The job might be defined on an agent group. I'll look into that.

    Hi Michael

     

    I got this message when I tried using promptset variables with default values (object variables) outside of a workflow

    [EDIT: not sure, if it was in or outside a workflow....]

     

    Couriously sometimes it worked if I tried a couple of minutes later again....

     

    pls do not ask why....

    V11.2.3 and V11.2.6

     

    cheers, Wolfgang

    I think I know what’s going on. I think the UC4 Java User Interface is attempting to establish communication directly from the JUI to the agent. The agent is behind a firewall. The firewall allows communication between the Automation Engine server and the agent, but it does not allow direct communication between the JUI and the agent.

    I confirmed that the firewall between the JUI and the agent is the problem. What does CA recommend here?

    I still see this when I try to add a new pre/post condition on a JOBP/JOBS. I have been using the AWI (web interface) to add the conditions. Didn't really get to trouble shoot.

    Thanks for sharing the reason for the issue @Michael Lowry . what are your next steps then?

    I opened an incident. I’ll report back when I have a solution.
