Re: Ensure value of {flow_name} is correct

Are the script above before rework? or after rework? These scripts are from after I reworked them. I added the creation of the logVar_ ### variables so that each flow would have a set of local variables that described how they were called. And the logVar_ variable with the highest number can safely...

Re: Ensure value of {flow_name} is correct

Thanks again, Desmanto. I appreciate that it can be hard to resolve or understand an issue when all you have are some text messages. I have resolved my problem for logging by reworking my scripts. Perhaps if I show you the working version, you might understand what I was trying to get at. I perform ...

Re: Ensure value of {flow_name} is correct

For meanwhile, you can try to store the value in global list. Thanks for the suggestion, Desmanto, however, it will not work for me. In my case I can have several independent flows running simultaneously, so no flow can be sure that the entry at the end of the list refers to it, or that the penulti...

Ensure value of {flow_name} is correct

The issue: While executing flowA, the value of {flow_name} is "flowA". Now flowA performs "Execute Flows: flowB" with "Wait for called flows to finish" and "Return variables to the calling flow". While flowB is running, the value of {flow_name} is "flowB". When flowB ends and control is returned to ...

Re: Switch Case

I'll agree with this too. Even if it was limited to integer cases.

Re: Global semaphore

Thanks for the reply, Martin A script action itself acquires a global lock when the script is executed so two script actions should not interfere in general. Hmmm. If that is the case, then I should not see any overwriting of values. Perhaps, then, my issue isn't due to a race condition. I will have...

Re: Global semaphore

Hello Murtuma. I am familiar with conditions and how to use them. That is not quite the issue here. Perhaps a simplified example of the problem might help. Imaging a script that performs the following (where global_flowOrder is a list): x = global_flowOrder; y = flow_name; if (containsElement(x, flo...

Global semaphore

Hello, I have several flows which may run simultaneously. Each of these flows is trying to manipulate the value of a single global variable. I can see that they are "stepping on each other's toes" by overwriting each other's changes. I would like to set up some sort of semaphore so that I can be rea...

Re: Files Exists and Delete File

Thank you, Martin.

That was exactly what I was looking for. I used the first two examples you gave, and now I get yesterday's information e-mailed to me as soon as I get to work in the morning.

Thanks again.
