How to filter WI5 type with open status data in assignment 1

#1

Hello Everyone,

I trying very hard to complete the assessment , i am failing every time i do :frowning:

I have reached the stage till we extract work items from acme system .
Next step is to filter the data WI5 type with open status

Open the Main workflow and expand the Init state by double clicking it.
Add a new sequence after the Invoke KillAllProcesses activity to read the input transactions data table.
o Inside this sequence, invoke four of the previously created workflows, as follows:
:black_small_square: System1 Login
System1 Navigate to Work Item
:black_small_square: System1 Extract Work Item Data Table
:black_small_square: System1 Close
o Import and bind arguments where necessary.
o From the list of work items, extract only the items needed in the current process - those of the WI5 type, with the status set to “Open”.

I haved added Assign activity below these 4 invoked workflows

WIList = dt_WIs.Select(“Type=‘WI5’ AND Status='Open '”)

When I run the main file , i get an error saying
Object reference not set to an instance of an object - for assign activity .

Please help

Please make sure that

dt_WIs is in Data.Table format; and
WIList is in Array of rows format.

And for
WIList = dt_WIs.Select(“Type=‘WI5’ AND Status='Open '”)

Please make sure that after open, it shouldn’t be a Space.

In one of updates in forum , it was mentioned that we need to give space . Thats the reason I had given a space . now I removed space and still i get the same error .

I can’t seem to run your workflow. Have you modified the path of your invoked workflows?

The path should look sth like this instead:

#13

yes i modified as i had to take the workflow from my desktop

#15

My workflow is getting stuck at Assign activity only … which i have used in init state . i have not yet reached get transaction data stage

All those invoked workflows should be in the same folder as the main workflow.

#17

you mean to say all the workflow files that is there in Framework folder , System1 folder & Sha online folder should be placed where main workflow is present

#18

I think you have the wrong workflow on the extract data table. We should “out” the datatable instead of setting up the variable.

#19

If i delete the variable , and just create an argument , what should i put in the property - Output DataTable of extracted structured data table container

#20

Ya, it should be the argument and invoke workflow should include such argument as well

#22

I did that . I am not getting the error now . But i want to know how to check if the data is filtered.
I think i found where I am stuck . In get trasaction data ,

I have used Assign activity in Then section

out_TransactionID=out_TransactionItem(“WIID”).ToString
There is below error

Error: Option strict on disallows late binding

Could you please help me on this

#23

Hi @kavsanu - Try to change the try with changing the type of the out argument(out_TransactionID) to ‘Srting’.

Thanks,

Arguments Out_TransactionId and Out_Transactionitem is of type string only. I changed the type to Queueitem for Transaction item . Now i get error in both the assign activity .
Attached get transaction data xaml file . Please someone have a look and help me out there .
