Variable in POSTCONDITION not having value set in Action

[Legacy User]

Hello Community,

Best wishes for the New Year 2018.

I am using ARA version 12.0.1HF2, running on Windows with SQL database.

I have an issue when I check the value of a variable in the POSTCONDITION tab.

Users should input file share path in a dynamic property of the package. Latter is reference in a prompt set. The action checks whether a value is entered. If this is the case, the variable &ROUTINE_EXIST#  is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N. In the POSTCONDITION, when &ROUTINE_EXIST# is set to Y, it checks whether the file share exists.. This check is done in the POSTCONDITION of the action.

See attached action_configuration.docx for configuration details. See attached action_report.docx. for the Activation Report of the action.

Is there any configuration error in the flow, which is making this fail?

Cheers and thanks,
Ajay

I am not certain if this is exactly the cause but...

Try to define &ROUTINE_EXIST# output variable at Action Designer level and not as part of Application/Component workflow. 

I believe this variable should be defined not at the JOBS (Unix/Windows) level but at JOBP level.

Then in Post-Process of JOBS level have value assigned to your variable.

See the example of one of the Automic provided standard Actions...

Hi Ajay Ori 

You may want to try to set the activation time instead of run time

Hi Hau,

Thank you so much for the suggestion.

The flow now works perfectly.
