Carry values across to different workflows

jonghr

I have a series of workflows that each take care of a part of a linked process.

In the first workflow I have the user select the SAP environment the reports came from (Production, Test, Development).

How can I carry those values over to the other workflows, without having to ask the user the same question over and over.

 

THanks

Hi @jonghr - You need to write these values into a file. My preference would be yxdb.

Hi @ArtApa,

Thanks!
I will use that! I was hoping there is an internal memory that can carry over the variables to other workflows, when I would execute them as apps in series after each successful completion.

Been trying today. However, I can't seem to figure out how I can pull the value out of the YXDB file and put it as input in the action to update values in other steps

How do I do that?
