Use instance vars between executions

[Heku_]

Hi, is there any way to save a variable at the end of a workflow execution and use it in the next execution of the same workflow?

I've tried with instance.vars but it doesn't work.

You could think to do a technical schema with these attributes

<attribute name="wkfName" label="Workflow Name" type="string"/>
<attribute name="id" label="Id" type="long"/>

Save the vars value there and query when needed

Hope this helped, tell me if you need anything more!

It's a solution similar to use the getOptions and setOptions, but it's not enough efficient.

You're right, getOption and setOption is the best way to go here! Do you know how to use them?

You can also save the variable to an option and then load it in the next run:

setOption (adobe.com)

getOption (adobe.com)

Hi @Heku_ ,

1) Create an option under /Administration/Platform/Options/ 

2) Workflow:

In get option JS, you can call the previously updated instance variable value

getOption('internalNameOfTheOption');

 In setOption JS, you can update the Option value with instance variable.

instance.vars.myVariable = "abcd";
setOption ('internalNameOfTheOption', instance.vars.myVariable);
