the list of string is the list of paths the result of GetFiles of directory , after i will use each path in another process.
Can you help to create the process!

I can also store these paths in datatable so in the TransactionData argument and my transationitem (the path) will be datarow , i can accept this solution also

Hi @oumayma_lajili1

For that

In get transactiondata state

Disable get transactionitem activitiy since u are not using the queue

After that create a sequence

In this sequence u have to retrieve the list of path from folder

For that u have to use if condition
Condition should be in_TransactionNumber = 1
In then section

Use assign activity to retrieve the value of all path to transactiondata variable which should be list of strings

io_TransactionData = Directory.GetFiles( folder path)

Create next sequence to assign transactionitem

Inside this sequence
Put a if condition,
Condition should be in_TransactionNumber<= io_TransactionData.Count

In then section use assign activitiy to assign the transaction item
out_TransactionItem = io_TransactionData(in_TransactionNumber-1)

In else section use assign activitiy to assign transactionitem as nothing
out_TransactionItem = Nothing , which helps to end process after all transactionitem has been processed

Note : change variable type of transactionitem as string and Transactiondata as array of strings

Hope it helps

Mark it as solution if u got it

But i have a question i can use the result of the transaction item only in process.xaml or i can use it in an other process ?

@oumayma_lajili1

Defaulty we are setting transactionitem to go to process xaml file, u can set the process or sequence in process.xaml file of what u want to do with transactionitem

Actually in get Transactiondata state you are retriving each Transaction item

Using that transaction item Everytime, we are processing in the process state

Processing.means what we are going to with that file path

For eg u have set of PDF files in folder , u want to retrieve data from each PDF file and write in a excel file

In this case the transaction item is each PDF file path

In process section using each file path or transactionitem, we are retrieving values from. Each PDF and writing in excel file

Hope u got the idea

I have a problem , only the first transaction is succefull and then the process finished and i found this log "Process finished due to no more transaction data

It may be due to no Transaction data

What condition u put to assign transactionitem

in_TransactionNumber <= io_TransactionData.Count

Hi u have made a mistake
Why u assign transaction number =1 as condition

If u did like that , ur Transaction will end after first transaction

I will attach one of my work on reframework

Here look at get Transactiondata state, this is case of datatable, but u can generalise it for ur files system, how I created sequence for getting all Transactiondata and after that assigning transactionitem

Hope u will find it as useful
