Workflow Name from Workflow Setting Property

Does any one know if there is a BR command that can get the Workflow Name value from the Workflow Settings area of the Profile Properties (e.g. Import, Validate, Process) in a business rule?  ...

    Hi Gidon,

    I'm not aware of a supported or clean way to convert a workflow name key to a meaningful name. Perhaps someone else here may know a way?

     

    How is the workflow to check being determined in your rule? If the workflow to check the property for is the user's POV workflow profile, you can use the following approach to retrieve the user's WorkflowInitInfo object and from there, you can retrieve a legible workflow name.

     

     

    'get the user's POV WF profile info
Dim wfInfo As WorkflowInitInfo = BRApi.Workflow.General.GetUserWorkflowInitInfo(si)
'retrieve the WF name property from the WF
Dim wfName As String = wfInfo.GetSelectedWorkflowUnitInfo().WorkflowName

     

     

     

    Regards,

Hi Gidon,

 

The GetAttributeValue workflow profile info property will enable you to retrieve the workflow key value equivalent to the property you are attempting to query. You then may be able to make use of this key by leveraging the shared constants workflow enumeration helper. Hoping this snippet helps.

 

'retrieve the WF Info for houston.import
Dim wfProfileInfo As WorkflowProfileInfo = BRApi.Workflow.Metadata.GetProfile(si, "Houston.Import")
'retrieve the wf name key as a string for the default scenario type
Dim wfNameKey As String = wfProfileInfo.GetAttributeValueForDefaultScenarioType(sharedConstants.WorkflowProfileAttributeIndexes.Workflow, String.Empty)
'check to see if houston.import has a workflow name of Import-Validate-Load aka a Simple Data Load
If wfNameKey.XFEqualsIgnoreCase(SharedConstants.WorkflowKeys.Workflows.SimpleDataLoad) Then
	'do something
End If

 

Regards,
