Using Activity Designer's databus output in activities other than Log Message

[dale_]

Hi,

I have created a few PowerShell activities using the Activity Designer and they are working well. I have an output configured to send executionResult.errorMessages to a variable called activityOutput.errorMessages using direct parsing. In my workflow that uses this activity, I am able to drag my variable from the Data tab into a Log Message activity. This works as expected - the PowerShell error is stated in the Log.

My issue is with using the ${data.get(21).errorMessages} variable anywhere else. It doesn't seem to work in the same way as scratchpad variables. I want any PowerShell errors to be saved to a task description or work note so that the Resolver will know what went wrong (e.g. they will see that the user does not exist in Active Directory).

Are there any other activities that accept databus outputs? I've tried Run Script, Set Values, Catalog Task, etc.

I'm using Fuji Patch 10.

its the number which workflow context provide to activities, so if the same activity is being used in same workflow twice/thrice then the number would be different. 

so, simply it is just defining the activity output with a unique value to differentiate among them.
