Bernie,
I don't think that the 2 workflow engine servers are the problem since only one of them is running. It does sound like the JobServer is not running on the server. Please open a Support Request directly with DocuWare so that one of the team can inspect and correct your installation.

I would suggest that an Autoindex workflow can do this for you. You would need to use either a database or a flat text file rather than an Excel file.

This is quite a difficult migration. There are no guidelines. You must contact our professional services department for assistance.

Remove the CSTR as per my last post.

Just use this:

Format(GV_USDate,"dd/MM/yyyy")

Also uncheck the validate box. You can't validate this type of expresion.

That should do it.

Ok, I tested it in a workflow and it works. However, oddly enough it does not like converting the USDate to a string. so omit that and just use this:

Format(GV_USDate,"dd/MM/yyyy")

See screen shot. Converted date is in the Subject field.

I know what is wrong. You are assigning both variables in a single data assignment task. There is a good chance that the date format conversion is operating on an empty string. I suggest that you make 2 data assignment steps. The first one assigns the Date from the file cabinet to the GV_USDate variable. Then the second data assignment step does the format:

This is the code to use:

GV_EuroDate = Format(Cstr(GV_USDate),"dd/MM/yyyy")

Then you can be sure that it is not trying to format an empty string.

The syntax is correct. Can you give me a screen shot of the actual expression?

Teresa,
Let me test the syntax and come back to you.

Try this:

Create GV_EuroDate as a string variable, and the GV_USDate as a date variable.

GV_EuroDate = Format(CSTR(GV_USDate),"dd/MM/yyyy")
