Hi all,
We are using Workflow Manager in Enterprise 10.9.1 environment. By default, the job name is populated using JOB_[index], and I have a couple questions regarding the [index] field.
- Where is this [index] field stored and how does it work?
- Is there a way to start the [index] field at a higher number? We have an existing GIS ticketing system to migrate to Workflow Manager. When we move into Workflow Manager, we don't want to have duplicate ticketing numbers.
- According to ESRI's documentation, starting at Enterprise 11.2, there is a new JobIndex expression. And it says 'Jobs created before Workflow Manager 11.2 evaluate to a value of -1.' Does this mean the schema of [index] changed starting 11.2? And does it mean we will lose index values when we migrate to a higher Enterprise version? We are planning on migrating to Enterprise 11.3. If that is the case, we might want to use a different method to create ticket numbers. Does anyone know how to create sequential values in workflow manager?
Any insights are appreciated.
Thanks!
Margo
