Project metadata action doesn't grab server parameters

[DTurner]

EasyMorph Server v5.9.8.9
EasyMorph Desktop v5.9.8.11

I've building a universal connection validator. It will validate the connection to local folders, SharePoint, and all databases listed as parameters. The local folder connections in the parameters are grabbed with the Project metadata action and concatenated into a delimited list before being sent to the validator.

This is working on my local machine. Then I upload to our VM from my local machine via the EasyMorph Server. I create a new task and configure the parameters on the EasyMorph Server.

Upon running the project ad hoc from the task menu I get an error file back from my validator.

You can see that the Project metadata action are pulling values from the saved parameters in the easymorph and not the parameters designated in the server task.

I understand that I can log into the VM and change and save the folder parameters, but the goal is for the developers to never have to do additional configuration to the project after uploading to the server that would require a VM login. Is there a way to grab the server parameters and not the saved project parameters?

@DTurner, you can use the "Parameter table" action to get the parameter values that the project was executed with.

To add to @andrew.rybka answer, the "Parameter table" action works for the cases when you need to capture task parameters within the workflow at runtime.

Obtaining task parameters from task configurations is currently not supported out of the box. However, since task configurations are just XML files, you can try extracting them by parsing XML. In this topic, there is a sample workflow that does it: Easymorph Server Command (List ServerTask Parametervalues) - #4 by rebmanna
