Will Warewolf work on Windows 8.1?

Anonymous 11 years ago updated by Grommit 11 years ago 2
The download states that your product is built for windows 7 and windows server 2008.

I currently have windows 8.1 and am going to be using azure.

Will this still work?

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 11 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 9 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 11 years ago in Studio / Explorer updated by Gandalf 11 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.

Feedback tool doesn't have "send" button

Anonymous 11 years ago updated by Gandalf 11 years ago 1
I tried to use the feedback tool to send some feedback about the Explorer. I recorded and filled in comments but the only buttons available were "Cancel" and "Go to Community".
I am not sure if my feedback was sent to you as there was a long lag after clicking "Go to Community". Then the dialogue box closed and I was brought here. See attaches screengrab,Image 35

How do I substring?

anonymous 11 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 10 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 11 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 11 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 11 years ago in Studio / Toolbox updated by Gandalf 10 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

fire and forget

Paul Cannell 11 years ago in Server / Execution updated by Gandalf 11 years ago 1
When performing a longer running activity such as file processing id like to fire off the workflow. Have it return to me as the called immediately. Then internally it can email me / whoever when its complete. At the moment the call to the workflow is blocking.

Make sure you are running the installer from the machine that Warewolf is being installed onto. Installing over the network will cause this problem.

If that is not the case, try manually starting it in Windows Task Manager > Services > Warewolf Server

Still having problems, then please log a bug and attache the following:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Warewolf\Server\wareWolf-Server.log
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Warewolf\Server\Warewolf Server.InstallLog 
  • C:\%localappdata%\Warewolf\Warewolf_Install.log
