We have a MIS system that our Customer Service Team use to quote and create jobs for our company. This act produces an XML file which I can use to create that job folder structure on our file storage servers. Pres workflow takes the XML and deletes it, of deposits it in another folder for storage. If our Customer Service Team then make a change on the MIS the XML is re-generated, which means my Pres workflow starts again and tries to recreate the folders again.
My question is, can I use the data repository to store the xml filenames that have already been processed so that it does not process them if they have already been through the workflow?
I have not used the data repository before so am unsure whether this is a valid use for it.
That is an excellent use for it, but note that the repository is not a full-fledged database. If the number of filenames is in the thousands, you might want to consider connecting to an actual database engine (through scripting, for instance).
Thanks Phil, this will be useful.
