Table Of Contents
Example
Assume that a Workflow process can be triggered when an XML file appears in a certain folder.
The XML file contains data that you want to show on a web page.
Add a Set Job Infos and Variables Task to the Workflow process (see Set Job Infos and
Variables in the Workflow Online Help) . Define a Job Info variable (see Job Info variables),
say, %9, and fill it with data from the XML, for example:
xmlget('/request[1]/values[1]/first[1]',Value,KeepCase,NoTrim)
In Connect Designer, in a Web section, you can use the automation object to retrieve the value
in a script, like this:
var my_var = automation.jobInfos.JobInfo9;
context
In a Control Script, the context object represents one context in the template.
Which contexts are available in the template can be queried using merge.template.contexts.
The context being merged can be queried using merge.context.
Field Type Description
sections Array
Array of sections (see "section" on page1454) inside a
particular context defined in the template.
Note: When using merge.context.sections keep in
mind that for example 'Section X' might only exist in
your Print context, so using merge.context.sections
['Section X'] without enclosing it in the if statement
if (merge.context.type == ContextType.PRINT) {}
will yield an error when the script runs for other
contexts.
Alternatively, use the template object to access a
specific context:
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section
X'].
