Action List Names Variable

Folks,

I've been searching through the forums all morning and can't find this one so here goes:

Environment:

FB7 IDE project with mulitple action lists.

1.  Is it possible interactively have a prompt to select the action list you want to run?

Limitations:

I don't want a static variable/list/file with the names in it.

The list needs to be dynamically created at project startup and as new action lists are added in.

I need to automate the process as much as possible to avoid issues where a change is made and config file/setting/variable list is not updated.

The idea behind the project is that we have multiple SQL servers with differing scripts that need running.

I've setup a project for scheduling each script as an individual action list that's called through a set of If/Then/Else iterators when scheduled based on time/day/date and so on.

What I need to do now is convert the scheduled task into an ad-hoc run where the user choses the script & server to run.

I've thought of using a switch/case option with a prompt for "choose one" but I can't find how to make the "choice" the Action List name dynamically.

If there is a better way then let me know!

Cheers,

 

Steve

 

 

Hi Steve

Unfortunately this is not possible, we don’t expose the project metadata in any way that you could use to do this. The best option would be the switch/case method.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I'll have to look into another method then
