  • 1.  embedded model end component output mapping

    Posted Oct 07, 2010 01:03 PM

    First off let me state that I'm just getting started with workflow, I've read alot of information and seen the training videos. What I'm trying to do is re-create the technician incident form (to get an understanding of how it all works) but i'm not understanding how the end component output mapping works on the int data (cached) embedded model.

    I've setup the output data in the embedded model, but I can't map it inside the end component.

    I've looked around on the forums and looked around in the project, I'm sure I'm overlooking something, if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

    To get an embedded model to return data, right click the model-ikon and chose edit component. There's a field for the Output Data. If you click the elipse you can add what variable you want to return. If you go into your model again you will notice that the End-komponent now displays an error - it needs a mapping to the output variable.

    Claus,

    I see what you mean, I did setup the output data (sorry for not being clearer in my question).  When I go into the end model to map the output variable nothing shows up for the variables that I set up.

    The data types for the variable you setup in the Output Data and the one you are trying to map need to match in order to map the variable inside the End component successfully.

    Both replies are correct.  Also you could switch to using the embedded rule component as that automatically passes out any variables.   (not the best if you have extra data you would like to clean up, or take out of scope.), but much easier if not.
