Collection - Using a collection from one processes in another process

[JonathanHolstin]

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

Your 2nd process that writes the data to Excel should be taking the data from the queue, not the collection in the first process. You just need to change the inputs in your Excel actions to use the data from the queue. This technique is used in the consolidation exercise of the foundation training. The steps would be:

1. Process 1 reads file into collection 1
2. Process 1 loads collection 1 into queue
3. Process 2 reads queue item into collection 2
4. Process 2 writes collection 2 into file.
