getFileURL Step
Description:
This step gets the virtual file URL path information.
Inputs
- txtVarGlobalFilePath - Input File Path
- virtualPathVarGlobal -Variable / Global that holds the virtual path
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the "getFileURLDef" example.
- Create a new process definition called "getFileURLDef" and open it in Designer mode.
- Drag the “GetFileURL” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and “GetFileURL” steps, as shown above.
- Click the “clsGetFileURL” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide the file path on the FlowWright server to any file. Provide a variable or global to hold the virtual file path. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and then execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The step should get the virtual file URL path.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
