Workflow 8.8 Enhancements and Fixes
Deleting documents from the COTG repository
Many COTG customers create documents for which they don’t want to set an expiry date (or a
lifespan). They therefore set an expiry date far into the future to make sure the document
remains in the repository. However, once the document has been filled they would like to
remove it from the repository as soon as possible so it doesn’t clutter the view of the repository.
Accordingly, a new Workflow task now allows deletion of a document from the COTG
repository, using just the ID. The ID is obtained when the document is first sent to the COTG
server and could conceivably be stored in Workflow’s Data Repository until you need it to
delete the document. The task can be used either as a standard Action Task or as a Condition
Task that is set to True when the deletion is successful. (SHARED-55313)
Accessing the Connect Managed File Store
Sometimes you need a central location for storing and retrieving files. Some of those files might
only be required for a brief period of time while others may have to be stored for longer periods.
The usual approach is to create a folder somewhere on the Workflow system and use it as a file
repository. But this solution is neither portable nor completely centralized since it relies on the
characteristics of the specific system on which it is implemented.
