findItems query - Input Parameters

[MaheshkumarSundaram]

Hi @ralphhanna,

Consider the below example,

Here, the Receive Task RT1 has an input parmater named sender with a default value.

In DB, the record associated with the above task follows the below structure:

To find a item, normally we would use server.datastore.findItems(query) while the query can be anything as long as it fits into the record structure of the task (the one above).

But I don't see the input parameters of a task recorded into the item's record in DB.

If I want to query a task whose input parameter matches a value,
Something like, server.datastore.findItems({"items.status": "wait", "items.inputParams.sender": "<something>"}).

I presume I couldn't do that now as the input parameters aren' there!

• Why the input paramters are not part of the record in DB?
• How to query an item based on input parameters too?

Thank you!

In Release 1.3.22 added item.vars to store any variables related to the item as follows

Inside your service:

  async service1(input, context) {
  ...
  item.vars= input;
 ...
}

MongoDB:

As a result MongoDB stores item.vars

Using findItems:

            query = { "data.caseId": caseId, "items.vars.param1": 'value1' };
            items = await server.dataStore.findItems(query);
            console.log('items count',items);
