Collection - Using a collection from one processes in another process

JonathanHolstin — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 22:30:00 GMT

I'm loading a queue from a collection in one process.

Another process is going to work the queue and write the values to excel. When I was working it I had a sample queue to work but I am now realizing my write to excel references that placeholder collection. My other collection is part of my first process. How do I reference the collection from the other process while working the queue?

Thanks,

jon

Hi Jon,

You will not be able to reference collection from other process directly. However you may pass the collection from Process A to Process B using input/output parameters. Use the process block to call one process within another process.

Perhaps the best solution that you could implement in your solution is a parent/child relationship between items in Queues, it is a lot to explain but basically you will have 2 Queues (1.- For the Excel 2.- Data) and each item must have a parent/child relationship. For example; The excel is the main collection with the name of the excel as the Item Key, then you have the data in the other queue wich the tag of each one of the item will be "Child/&[Item Key from Parent]". I think that is the best option you have to make a reference from one process while working a different queue. I invite you to read the Advanced Work Queue Guide to learn more about this, its kind of hard to explain
