  • 1.  For Each Workflow Not Updating

    Posted Apr 29, 2019 05:26 PM

    Hello. 

    I created a VARA table with file names and paths.

    I created a JOBS - RAFTP and set the FTP tab to use variable names. Using the Pre-Process to get all variables.

    I created a ForEach workflow.

       -Update the ForEach tab in Start

       -I added the task

    I ran the ForEach workflow and found I had to adjust the variable name in the JOBS.

    I re-ran the ForEach and it still had the old variable name.

     

    I finally found the FTP tab in the ForEach workflow.  It mirrors the JOBS FTP tab.  However, any changes I make to the JOBS RAFTP task do not update the task in the workflow.  I have to do two updates.

     

    I can't find anything about syncing the workflow task the the standalone task.

     

    Can someone tell me how I keep these two in sync so I only have to make changes in the task and not the workflow?

     

    Thanks

    Hi

     

    thats a common issue using RA Jobs in a workflow.

     

    As soon as you change anything in the Jb you neet to deltet the job from the workflow and put it back.

     

    I personally do not know any better workaround, maybe someone other who uses RA jobs more heavily....

     

    cheers, Wolfgang

    Thanks Wolfgang.  The only other thing I could think of is to make the job a link and use it in the workflow.  When I have some time, I am going to test that approach.
