Hi,

I created a workflow to restore a VM and for next step “WaitForJobCompletion” I have to parse the output of the execute step.
Therefore I have defined a global Variable “RestJobID” and try to set it using a OnComplete Script.

This is the OnComplete Script:

XML outputXml = utils.parseXml(xpath:{/workflow/Execute_VM-Restore/outputXml});
if (outputXml != null) {
 workflow.setVariable("RestJobID", outputXml.getText("//jobIds"));
}

I can see the JobID of the restore Job in the Log, but my script is not working as expected.
And I don’t know Java.
I spent hours searching and trying, but without success.

Could someone please give me a hint?

Thank you.

Hi Marc

May i know by which method in workflow you are starting the restore?

If incase you are using “Execute” inputxml Method for the restore. Please try the below and see if it works for you.

1.Add a “xpathquery” method after the restore execute method

 

2.In Input tab, at xml - value should be your outputXml of execute restore method. at xpath provide this value : /TMMsg_CreateTaskResp/jobIds[1]/@val

 

3.After this, you can call, output of xpathquery method result to waitforjobcompletion jobid input

Hi Vignesh,

This is correct, I use “Execute” inputxml Method for the restore.
My problem is solved thanks to your solution, the workflow is now waiting for the Job to end.
Thanks a ton for your fast answer.
