External Task Workers - Overwrite Variables

[astro]

Hey there,

please see the following process model:

Imagine the process is instantiated, passes “Task 1” and the corresponding “External Task Worker 1” writes “foo=something” into the process context.

Now assume I have updated the “External Worker 1”-application to no longer write “foo=something” into the context, rather “foo=somethingElse”.

If I now go ahead and modify the instance to restart at “Task 1”, can I be sure that “foo=something” will be overwritten into “foo=somethingElse” after completion? Does this beavhiour depend on some configurations given to the external worker application or maybe even on how the modification is executed?

thank you!
Andre

Hi @astro,

completing a task will always set the given variable values to the process instance.

In the history detail, you should see both values if you are running the process engine on history level FULL.

Hope this helps, Ingo
