dfrench - okay, i have gone through both of your project files and i think both do the job i want. i do also agree that the timer exception version is cleaner and makes more sense. But there is one problem - The information submitted in the 2nd form is NOT being passed on to the notification form, if it was filled out BEFORE the timer runs out. I also had this problem when I tried using a subprocess and I didn't know how to fix this. Can you give me any insights on how to pass the submitted information from the 2nd form on the the 3rd notification form?

Thanks in advance!

Katie

Ooops... I just didn't map it from testConfForm1:confirm in the form2 request output through to the testCompleteForm:confirm in the form 3 Request input.
You have to do this at the complete task within the subprocess (timer limited subprocess) because the scope of the subprocess makes the testcompleteform messages invisible to the main process flow.

Hope this works for you ... let us know how this all works out in real life.

David,

I tried what you stated -

But for some reason I couldn't figure this out. I selected the complete task of the testConfForm1, and I thought I did the data mapping correctly, but after running the process, I still don't get the information selected in the 2nd form.

Could you please send me over another working file with this part working as well? I want to see what I am missing.

Thank you so much for your patience ! :-)

Katie

ok Katie,

This works for me. Note that the only data that is set from the complete task is the confirm which appears as an input on the notification which is faint on my screen - you may have missed it.

I am available for hire! ;-)

I would hire you, but i'm just a "lowly" programmer. :-/ i do really appreciate your help on this, though!

and i think you conjured up some "magic" on the last file...

in the original file that was sent to me, on the "complete" task, i take a look at the data mapper and i see 5 items listed on the left and one item listed on the right:

DATA MAPPER (on "complete" task):

LEFT SIDE:
$testConfrForm1CreateTaskRequestMsg.root
$testConfrForm1CreateTaskResponseMsg.root
$xformInitProcessResponseMsg.root
$xformInitProcessRequestMsg.root
$testCompleteFormNotifyRequestMsg.root


RIGHT SIDE:
$testConfForm1NotifyTaskCompletionResponseMsg.root


in the file that you last posted, on your "complete" task, instead of having 5 items in the data mapper on the left side and one on the right, you now have 6 items on the left and 2 on the right. How did you get those extra items??? And these missing items are, of course, what is missing so that I can connect the CONFIRM information from the 2nd form to the final notification form. The missing items are as follows:

LEFT SIDE:
$testConfForm1NotifyTaskCompletionRequestMsg.root

RIGHT SIDE:
$testCompleteFormNotifyRequestMsg.root


I'm just perplexed...

Lowly programmer ... no way. If you are working through this stuff, view yourself as a keyworker.
I am away from the office at present but I will take a look when I return tomorrow. In the mean time look at your filter settings in the mapper, these control what is visible.
