As part of our architecture framework for WareWolf development, I need to come up with a set of naming conventions for variables(inputs or outputs) in WareWolf workflows.

Logan Govender 10 years ago in Studio / Variables updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 2
Can you suggest a naming convention for WareWolf workflow variables(below are my thoughts):



-For input variables (eg . WorkflowName_In_Variablename)

-For output variables (eg . WorkflowName_Out_Variablename)

-For variables from other workflows that kick off other work flows (eg . WorkflowNameParent_WorkflowName_In_Variablename)

Hi

It sounds like you are trying to abstract the studio into a web page?

This is not possible with Warewolf. The studio is a desktop application that has no public interfaces at this stage.

Please let us know if this is not what you are asking.

Tooltip text for tools in Toolbox

Wallis B 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 8 years ago 4
Hi
It would be cool if there was tooltip text for each tool explaining what the tool does and maybe briefly how to use it.

This functionality is now built-in all over Warewolf as of V1 in the Help area.

Renaming a folder on the remote server does not save after closing application

Anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Explorer updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 1
I have connected to http://remote.dev2.co.za:3142 through my Warewolf application.
I renamed a folder without any trouble. I later closed and reopened the application and the rename had been undone. This is very frustrating.

How do I substring?

anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 9 years ago 5
I have a data payload that I need to perform sub-strings on.
I can get the starting and ending indexes, but have no idea how to use these to create a sub-string.
I have checked the calculate functions and tried using the DataSplit tool.
The best I have managed to do is use the DataSplit tool to get everything after the start index, but I cannot seem to get it to stop at the end index without using a second DataSplit tool.
Its frustrating to use 4 tools to perform such a simple function. ( 2 Find Index and 2 DataSplit tools )
I will not create a workflow to do this as I need to use First and Last index in the Find Index tool depending on which string I am searching for. 

Can you please advise how I can do with with 3 or less tools. I understand the need to use 2 Find Index tools. I would like to know how to use a single tool to sub-string?

Web Request tool always times out

anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 2
I am trying to use Warewolf to fetch a web page's contents. The URL is : http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/
Everytime I try and debug I keep getting the following error : The request was aborted. The operation has timed out.
Yet when I use wget to fetch the same URL it fetches and saves to disk in 0.3 - 0.4 seconds.
I believe you have a bug in your Web Request tool such that it never properly executes the fetch request.

I really would like this fixed so I can use it to process data, else I need to write bash scripts since wget will fetch without timing out.

Just a Message if we try to drop decision or switch in sequence tool.

Anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 8 years ago 3
Hi There

Sequence tool is very useful while developing a large workflow and now my workflow looks very simple. 
I would really like to appreciate the idea of developing a sequence tool.
But when I try to drag and drop a workflow with decision or switch, it wasn't allow me to drop.
then I tried many times and concluded, this is not working properly, but anyhow I realized later that sequence doesn't allow decision and switch. 
So if we have a validation message when user try dragging a decision or switch tool inside the sequence it could be very nice.

Thanks

foreach

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio updated by Gandalf 8 years ago 4
When using foreach Id like to know the "count" that Im on.
I have 1000 records in my set and after say 100 id like todo something. Id need to know how many iterations the foreaach has gone over.
So like [[=currentCount]] or some such idea would be useful.

Secondly id like to be able to perform complex activities here. If I want to make a DB call after each 100 records re processed id need a decision and then a DB service. I recognise that I could make a seperate workflow for this it just seems lots of effort for a simple thing.

keywords

Paul Cannell 10 years ago in Studio / Variables updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 0
most languages have keywords / built in functions.
getdate() for SQL or DateTime.Now for c#
How can I get the current time when processing an activity/decision/etc
Also Im sure there are other common things Im going to want todo. Be great to have this somewhere

Hi Paul

Warewolf is a Flow based language. Think about a typical coded function being a workflow and each service or tool in that workflow being a line or action.

So, if you are after the time, we need to execute a tool to get the time into a variable and then use it.

There are a few ways to get the current system time:
1. The calculate tool has all the MS Excel funcitons so you can just tupe: now() and then put that result into a variable.
2. The Assign tool can act like a Calculate tool if you start the assign value with an = so you can just type: =now()
3. The Gather System Information Tool has a Date & Time option
4. Date and Time Tool: If you leave the Input blank and the Input format blank, by default the tool will return the current system time in the system format.

I hope I have answered your question.

Hi Francisco,

You need to be part of the Administrators group to access the server.
Try adding yourself to it and starting the Studio again.
