Dear all,
I have a small issue with creating a workflow in the APG (ARIS 7.2). I have a couple of user defined attributes, that I want to define as constants for the APG workflow. As they are user defined attributes, they have no API name, just a type number and a GUID. Using either the GUID or the type number to define the constant leads to an APG error during execution.
Could anybody please point me in the right direction on how to correctly define the constant(s)?
Thank you very much.
Hello Christine,
The GUID should work as this is the right way to read or write an attribute in APG.
You should use the services : Write - Many attributes in 1 element or Determine - 1 attribute in many elements and using a constant of type string with the value being the GUID of your user defined attribute.
Your constant should be connected to "Attribute to be specified - type" for writing to an attribute, or to retrieve it connect your constant to "Attribute to be retrieved".
Make sure you are using the right type of content with the right type of variable (instance related) if storing into a variable of your workflow.

Tanguy
Hi Tanguy,
Thank you very much for your support!
That's exactly what I did. I still don't know what went wrong yesterday, but after deleting all the "faulty" constants, creating new ones (exactly the same names, types, values as before) and assigning the new constants in the data mapping, everything suddenly worked fine (leaving me somewhat confused, but happy).
Best,
Christine
