I have one application in which I want to enable launching multiple workflows using an XML file.
I have one list of items called 'Importer'
And another list of items, let's call it 'Target'.

In 'Importer' I have a field 'Gross' as a floating-point number, and the same in the 'Target' list.

In the starting step, I created a new path that registers bulk orders (start subprocesses (SQL)).

Configuration in the attachment.

There will be more fields, but for now I'm trying to do only this one field.

I changed now the task-recipient to test.development1 and also the mail-recipient to test.development1
Still showing the wrong step in the mail

Thanks

Creating multiple BPS_Content databases for the system is very helpful in terms of scaling and system performance because when creating a new BPS_Content database, the data tables (wfelements, wfelementdetails, wfhistoryelements, securities, etc.) are empty and the data for them registers anew.

In the case of applications, you decide on which BPS_Content base you want to create the application and develop it on that base.

You have to create the base from the installer - give the appropriate permissions and in Designer Studio switch to the new base and create the application on it.

Hi, show message content configuration - it's possible you need to tweak there

Here some screenshots:

Could you provide screenshots of the configuration?
It might be easier to catch any errors :)

Hello!

I moved now "Send Custom Mail" to the entry of the target-step (in my example "on entry Approval")
But I still get the wrong stepname in the mail.

"Start - upon approval"
"check and approve the order"

Hi Macchina,
I'm assuming that the difference is strictly connected with order of execution* in Webcon. As you can see on linked image** tasks are created in the On Entry part of the schema, and with those tasks e-mails are sent, so its basically On Entry.

In your case i'd move that action to On Entry, as this would reflect the behavior of sending e-mail via task creation.
Transition to new step happens after On Path automation, this is the direct cause of different behavior you are experiencing.

* in this article you can read more about it: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/pending-in-transaction-vs-pending-after-transaction/347/3
** especially this image describes very well what happens internally https://community.webcon.com/community/public/uploads/editor/1.5.png

I have a workflow with these steps:
* Start => *Approval

Task name: "upon approval"
Task details: "check and approve the order"

If I use "Standard Mail" in Task-Creation via Task-Configuration I get these info in the mail:
"Approval - upon approval"
"check and approve the order"
=> all correct

If i use "Create Custom Mail" in the action on path i get:
"Start - upon approval"
"check and approve the order"

So the stepname is not correct evaluated ... or am I missing something here? Should be also "Approval" instead of "Start"

Of course I could place the custom-mail to "on entry" of "Approval" ... or create a template an hide "task details" and write custom text....
but that seems to be dirty workarounds.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks
Ernst

That's it, thank you!

Now I get it, it's necessary to cofugure the exit path as well.

Kind regards
