topic setVariable makes the variable local to a task? in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/setvariable-makes-the-variable-local-to-a-task/m-p/162514#M116391 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi all,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a process with two task (A and B) in sequence. When task B completes, there are two possible routes based on value of a process variable (X). If X has a certain value, then the process continue, else it goes into a signal catching event which will loop back the process into task A again when the signal is raised.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Task B sometimes sets a value of another variable (Y). The subsequent execution of task A always find the value of variable Y unchanged.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is that the expected behaviour?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>To set the value of variable Y, in Task B (a ServiceTask) I call setVariable(String, Object) on the DelegateExecution context.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Should I instead use</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>DelegateExecution.getEngineServices().getRuntimeService().setVariable(executionId, variableName, value)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>to achieve this?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Using Activiti 5.14</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 Feb 2014 13:51:24 GMT lmollea 2014-02-20T13:51:24Z setVariable makes the variable local to a task? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/setvariable-makes-the-variable-local-to-a-task/m-p/162514#M116391 Hi all,I have a process with two task (A and B) in sequence.
