Workflow Task Instructions through LAPI

[ShishirDwivedi]

Hi,
I am using LAPI to execute Livelink Workflows.
The workpackage we work with does not contain the instructions assosiated with any perticular task. The instructions are present as a part of the workflow map. But the problem is, we don't have access to the workflow map when we want to execute a perticular task. We have the workId, subworkId and the taskId using which we can only obtain the workpackage and not the map.
Is there any way to get the instructions for a given task when we have only the workId, subworkId and taskId to work with?

Post a sample map ( a simple 1,2,3 step map) and where you find the instruction.I can take a look in my spare time.wmap has a record for every executing workflow,would you be willing to find that info from there if there is no direct lapi method.

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

I tried using the oscript methods. But i was unable to find the right way.
The WAPI class has a method called AllocNthMapTask which takes a WAPIMAP object and task id as parameters.
To create this WAPIMAP object i used the AllocMap method of WAPI class which takes WAPISESSION object as parameter.
To get this WAPISession object i used the .fPrgSession.Wsession() method.

Object session = .fPrgSession.WSession()

WAPIMAP map = WAPI.AllocMap(session.fSession)
WAPIMAPTASK task = WAPI.AllocNthMapTask(map, taskId)
task.pInstructions

But even doing all this doesn't work. And understandably so. Because the session will not know which map (there could be so many workflow maps in my workspace) is being referred. So
WAPI.AllocMap(session.fSession) will probably return an empty WAPIMAP handle in my opinion.
So automatically WAPI.AllocNthMapTask(map, taskId) is returning an empty task handle.

Also, i don't know what the taskId here means. I am passing it as 1. Generally a task instance is identified uniquely by three params - workId, subworkId and taskId. the taskId in most cases is 1. So i am passing the same.

I know i am doing it all wrong but i don't know how else to go about it.
Hope you can shed some light.

Here's the sample map for your reference.

As I said I do not have time to check it with oscript or lapi butI have for you figured out the instructions how it is laid out in the tables.I would test manaul running and test accuracy of the relation and then call this form lapi using a db query or livereport.
