I am trying to update a GDC variable using the WorkFlow API.
Here;s the code
ReadOnlyContainer roc=<ProcessInstanceobject>.globalContainer();
ReadWriteContainer rwc=roc.asReadWriteContainer();
rwc.setString("owner","workflowdude");
But this value is not updated in the Database.
If I map the GDC to an activity in my process and have the variable "owner" mapped to some variable in the activity container, I can see the value in the Database.
What am i doing wrong? I am sure you can update the GDC through API.
I am using Workflow 3.4 SP4.
Thanks in advance for your help. |

Global Container can not be updated via any API... Updates are made via mapping from an activity to the GDC.

As GDC concept is evolving we can expect more things to happen in future versions.
