What is workflow variable? When we use workflow variable? Can any one explain me with one example???..

Answer / anvesh

A variable which is created in workfow manager is called workflow variable. This is used for many tasks, for example.. I created a mapping level variable, which is not assigned with initial value. So by using this Workflow variable we can assign value to the mapping variable.

For this we have to use assignment task.

WF-> Assignment task -> Session(non reusable)

First create a variable in workflow manager, go to workflow-> edit -> add a port. In this assign a name to the variable. Now create assignment task in workflow manager. In this create a new port. Now name it as the name given to mapping level variable and assign a value to this variable.

Now go to session properties -> command, then give $$ mapping variable = $$ Session variable.

this will wrk... if not pls reply me...
