I have a problem in that I have an ActiveX Script task that is supposed
to wait Upon Success of the the previous task, which is an Execute
Process task that runs a bat file to FTP some files to another machine.
The ActiveX script is supposed to delete the files after they are ftp'd
to the other machine. However, it looks like the files are getting
deleted before the FTP can happen. Is there a way to make the ActiveX
task wait until the ftp is finished? Should I move the ActiveX deletion
task to a different package and schedule it to execute a significant
period of time after the package with the ftp?


Thanks,

Gerald

Hi Gerald,

What you need to do is set the workflow property.

Right Click on the Activex Script, in the Design Mode.
Select Workflow -> Workflow Properties option.
In the precedence tab, click on New
Select the Source step (The Task that should precede the Current Task)
Select the Precedence
The Destination Step would be the Current Task.

Thus when the Source Step completes with the selected precedence (Success /
Failure / Completion) the destination step will be executed.

Thanks for your response, Ashish, but I'm already doing that. The
problem is that the FTP is taking a few seconds after the task generates
the "successful" message and prompts the subsequent ActiveX task to
begin. I need a way to get the ActiveX task to WAIT until the FTP is
finished, OR I need to move the ActiveX task to another package and
schedule it well after the FTP's are expected to finish.

Thanks,

Gerald

Hi Gerald,

It would be better idea, that you set the script in a different package and
schedule it after proper time gap.
