Enterprise Scan - Dynamic Folder using a Context variable?

[apbaman]

Following up on thread862-1671824

I am trying to configure Enterprise Scan to Archive to Content Server. I know how to do one of three things:
1) make "Dynamic Folder" a constant
2) set up "Dynamic Folder" using one or more of the choices available using the Insert> Button (these were referred to in thread862-1671824)
3) a combination of the above

However, what I want to do is use one of the scripts to set up a (Context) variable (say, current date as yyyy-mm-dd) without any user intervention, then use that (Context) variable as the Dynamic Folder.

I have tried setting Context["SYSTEM_DATE"] in a script, then entering <SYSTEM_DATE> as the Dynamic Folder, hoping it would reference the Context variable and get the value. I get a fatal error in Content Server.

I suspect I am missing something simple. Ideas?

Thanks!

Dave

First try to learn Jscript as in a tutorial.Then in many of the scan steps you can do jscript.Jscript is microsoft's scripting framework not related to javascript.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Um, thanks.

OpenText helped me find the answer:

The problem is that Context variables are only available in the context of the scripts. They are NOT availabe to the Document Export steps.

Instead of a Context variable, I had to set up a "field" using, for example:
var SYSDATE = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
Fields.SetString("SYSTEM_DATE",SYSDATE);

Then, I could use <SYSTEM_DATE> in the Document Export step.

Thanks to Mark at OpenText for his help!
