You can assign a value to a user-defined workflow variable with the Assignment task. To use an Assignment task in the workflow, first create and add the Assignment task to the workflow. Then configure the Assignment task to assign values or expressions to user-defined variables.
An Assignment task assigns a value to a user-defined workflow variable. Add an Assignment task before the Mapping task in the workflow. Use an expression in the Assignment task to assign the value of the department name parameter and the current date to the workflow variable.
An Assignment task assigns a value to a user-defined workflow variable. When you create a user-defined workflow variable, you enter an initial value. The Data Integration Service uses the initial value of the variable when the workflow starts.
About Assignment Task.....An Assignment Task is used to Assign Value To Workflow Variable.
Solution. For a better understanding and as a good start, see IDD Implementation Guide > "Custom Task Assignment" and proceed. After installing MDM Hub Server, assignment of tasks is performed using the default method, which is as follows:
The assignment task is used to assign a value to user-defined variables in Workflow Manager. Before you can define a variable in the assignment task, you need to add the variable in Workflow Manager.
HOW TO: Create and Assign a Task to a Role using the Create Task REST API call in MDM
To create an Assignment Task in Workflow Manager, follow these steps: In Workflow Manager, go to Task | Create . From the list of tasks, select Assignment task, and specify the name of the Assignment task, amt_TASK_NAME .
Assignments The source from which the field takes values. The fields that you see depend on the data type you defined for the Start > Properties > Input Fields or Temporary Fields .
So I want to about tasks in workflow. Could you please guide me if any good doc available or not for assignment task with example. Please tell me also if any good docs available for work flow design.
