How to set variable

[Sachin Bal]

My problem: On file server there may be a file called "abc.txt" if that file is present then i want to set a variable FileFoun = 'True' or else set it to 'False'.

After that workflow will resume. I will use variable is next steps.

You can use setvar cli command to pass the value of some variable to DE side global variable.
See this link.

You can use javascript to update the variables.

Create two alerts: one for file found, one for file not found. In file found set the variable to true, in file not found set the variable to false.
Create a job that looks for the file to exist; it should fail if the file is not there
In the job, specify a notification alert such that if the job fails it raises alert for fail; if it is successful (complete) then raise the found alert
If you need to, set the failed alert to also auto-mark the job complete so that it doesn't create false "failed jobs" in the system using the below

if (WOB._cmpc != null && WOB._subcount > WOB._retrycount)
{
execCommand('%(WOB._fullname)','%(APPL._name).%APPL._gen', 'ACTION COMPLETE');
}
