Hi Team,

I have used an Execute workflow activity to execute XML code. This is from running the Upgrade Software from All Tasks and saving as a script, then cut+paste into the input of the Execute activity. The issue I am having trouble with is I want the Execute activity to wait until the Upgrade of the client has completed (successful/failure), then deal with the exitcode. However, the Workflow continues on to completion, but the Upgrade job in the Job controller is still activity. I have used a WaitforCompletion, but the execute (XML to upgrade a client) must say it is complete as the workflow goes onto completion.

Is there a way to make the Execute of the XML wait until the job is complete? Is the a flag to set inside the XML code?

Thank you in advance

Laurence

Hi Laurence,

The WaitForJobCompletion should work. Are passing the jobid into the wait activity? if possible send the workflow over. There is a demo workflow in you GUI called "Demo_FileSystemBackupRestore" you can use for reference.

Hi StorageGuy007,

I have uploaded the WF. Unfortunately, the execute activity which I have used to embed the XML from a saved script does not have a jobid component. The XML works but I need it to continue after success or fail, then a decision element will decide what to do after that. Maybe I need another activity for the XML.

thanks

HI,

If you want it to just continue on even after fail then on the general tab of the activity set the continue after max restarts to true and the max restarts value to 0.

Hope this helps
