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. 

Cheers

Installation of .NET Framework 4.5 failed with exit code 1307

anonymous 11 years ago in Installer updated by anonymous 7 years ago 1
If you get this error it means you are a non-admin user who was not prompted to enter admin credentials when running the installer.
This can happen if your User Account Control (UAC) settings are set to Never notify.

Figure 1 : UAC off in Control Panel

To change your UAC level first open your control panel from the start menu.
Then search for uac and click on Change User Account Control settings. 
You will need to be an administrator to do this.

Then change your UAC settings back to Default as seen below.
Click OK and close the Control Panel window.
Try installing again.

It is not possible to access WinForms objects from Warewolf.
Plugins are met for POCOs.

I like the latest release

anonymous 11 years ago updated by Gandalf 11 years ago 2
Great work guys. The latest release is snappy with my cryptsy.com data feeds. I just need psql support to get proper timings against my Java import process. And scheduling would be nice too.

Server crashes cant save workflow

Paul Cannell 11 years ago in Server updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 2
Ive changed a sproc. I go to update the service that references that. I then goto the use of that service on the designer canvas to update it to take in the new params. 
The service just vanishes in the background. Then in the designer I cant save my changes as there is no server. I dont loose much data but I have to then restart which is annoying. Its intermittent at the moment. If I get steps to reproduce ill post them here.
This has happened a couple times while playing with sproc related updated. I do hit ctrl-s a lot without thinking from just general coding so maybe the multiple saves are somehow causing badness when talking to the server?

unintuative. Couldnt make workflow variables inputs

Paul Cannell 11 years ago in Studio / Designer updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 2
Until I used it in the workflow. This does makes sense but typically I would design the interface to my workflow and then implement bit by bit. I may only need the 3rd input param later on and Im still testing the first bits. But I cant pass this until later.
think of it this way. When you define an interface method you dont make them parameterless you generally know what you want to achieve. Perhaps a hint popup to let us know

We agree. There is a quite a bit that needs to be done to the variable list.

Thanks for the idea.

make connectors bigger please

Paul Cannell 11 years ago updated by Gandalf 10 years ago 2
When dragging flow lines from one action / state to another or moving them around its very hard sometimes to drag the connector, esp FROM a decision. if the area you drag from was bigger would make for a faster easier UI experience.

We are rehosting WWF. Unfortunatley we cant get access to everything at a design level.

We will have another crack at the altering the design surface automaticaly.

stop the service
close the designer
click the designer shortcut, you will be prompted to start the warewolf service. Click yes
The service starts
The designer does not
Click short cut again it starts fine.
Trivial and minor annoyance bug :)
