Expose as a service

Anonymous 10 years ago • updated by anonymous 10 years ago • 1
To use Warewolf, would we need to expose it as a service?
Answer

You can also call a workflow workflow from SQL.
See the Samples folder in the Warewolf install directory for an example of this.

Warewolf vs Windows Workflow Foundation

Anonymous 10 years ago • updated by anonymous 10 years ago • 0
I've had a look at Warewolf and it seems very similar to Windows Workflow Foundation.
What is the deifference?
Answer
anonymous 10 years ago
Warewolf is based on Windows Workflow Foundation (WF).
We re-host their designer, hence why it may appear similar.

Here is a quick summary of key differences : 

  • Provides wizard driven integration with Web services, Stored Procedures, and DLLs.
  • A custom language to move data around a workflow instead of the standard In/Out arguments.
  • Improve the way a user interacts with workflow tooling by providing adorers to expand a tool in-line to access enhanced functionality. This results in less clicking around.
  • Greatly expanded toolbox functionality. A lot of what you see we have custom built.
  • Simplified re-use. Via our explorer you can drag one workflow into another instantly accessing its functionality.
  • An easy to use visual debugging output, greatly enhancing the usability and maintainability of the workflows you create.
  • All workflows are exposed as web services for system integration purposes.
  • Integrates with Active Directory for security at a server or resource level.

SQL Bulk Insert tool

Anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox • updated by anonymous 10 years ago • 0
Hi
What type of data files does the SQL Bulk Insert tool support?
Can is read Excel?
Answer
anonymous 10 years ago
The bulk insert tool works with our internal data language. You need to use recordsets to maximize its effectiveness.

You can find more information on our language by clicking the [[?]] icon at the top of the studio.

You can also find an example of its usage by opening the Recordset - SQL Bulk Insert workflow in the EXAMPLES folder in the studio explorer.

How do I turn off security?

Anonymous 10 years ago in Server / Execution • updated by Gandalf 10 years ago • 0
Im working at home and my network is secure, I dont want to have to set permissions on everything all the time.
Answer

From release 0.4.2.3 onwards we have introduced a Public group.

It is not a windows group, its internal to Warewolf.

1. Open Security Settings
2. Under the Windows Group heading, you will see a Public group.
3. Give this group Administrator rights.
4. Click Save

Any user can now do anything on that Warewolf.

Using a find Index tool how can I find a character Index in different record set inputs

Anonymous 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox • updated by Gandalf 10 years ago • 1
When I try find index of character 2 in all record set using find Index tool
In fields as [[rec(*).a]],
Index “All Occurrence”
Character 2
And I want to put my output values in [[rec(*).b]] 
Output is coming as [[rec(1).b]]=2, [[rec(2).b]]=4, [[rec(3).b]]=6, [[rec(4).b]]=8, [[rec(5).b]]=2, [[rec(6).b]]=4, [[rec(7).b]]=2,[[rec(8).b]]=4,[[rec(9).b]]=6,[[rec(10).b]]=8.
Now output is coming in record set but how would I know 2 is at index 2,4,6,8 in [[rec(1).a]] = h2f2f2f2 .
And 2 is at index 2 and 4 in [[rec(2).a]]=h2f2.
And 2 is at index 2,4,6,and 8 in [[rec(3).a]] = h2f2f2f2.


Answer

Great example and good question.

The For Each tool is designed for this. Try dropping the Find Index tool into the for each and put the result into [[rec(*).b]].

Please help me over errors while installing Warewolf Software

Anonymous 10 years ago • updated by anonymous 6 years ago • 5
Hi There,
              I am unable to install warewolf. System is throwing this error " Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly.... and Installation Failed: FATAL ERROR during installation:   " while installing
Please assist
Thanks
installer
Answer
Gandalf 10 years ago
This is related to our VC++ 2008 SP1 x86 prerequisite.
Generally this should not cause an issue, but in cases where a previous install or system update did not complete VC++ can fail to install with Error 1935. 

Please reboot your machine and try installing VC++ 2008 SP1 x86 directly from this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=5582
Then try installing Warewolf again.

If the VC++ install fails here are a few references you can use to further troubleshoot the issue as it appears to be a general Windows problem.

When "Delete Record" set doesn't have index what it is going to delete while debugging ??

Murali Naidu 10 years ago in Studio / Toolbox • updated by Gandalf 10 years ago • 0
Delete Record input doesn't have index.
but when I debug It is showing the message as success so here actually what is deleting by the Delete Record ??
At least when I debug it should show some message as record set doesn't exist.

Answer

Hi Murali

If the recordset is being used as an Input and does not have an index specified [[rec().set]], then it will use the last record.

If the recordset is being used as an Output and does not have an index specified [[rec().set]], then it will add a new record.

So in your example above, the last record in the recordset was deleted. The debug output should show you the record number.

There is a Warewolf Language Help button at the top of the studio:

It has more detail on how the language works.

  4. Data Merge Input [[a]] and merge type "none"
  5. Input [[b]] and merge type "none"
