How do I configure the Update TM step in my Workflow?

The Update TM workflow step can be used to make WorldServer update a TM that is different from the one set in the Project Type. This step can be configured to update a specific TM that is specified in the step configuration, or that points to a Project or Task Attribute where the name of the TM is entered. Here are the 3 possible configurations:

1- TM Name Source: User Provided

Here you enter the TM Name in the TM Name field. When reaching this step, WorldServer will update the specified TM. Upon the successful completion of the Update TM step, a confirmation will be entered in the Task History, similar to:

Completed Update TM step of task 1 in time [00:00:00] on engine [XXX:clone#287588933:engine#2] with result Done. Execution output: Translation Memory "My Test Update TM" successfully updated.

If the step is not configured correctly, for instance, if the TM Name is not specified, the Task will fail with an Autoerror pointing to the issue.

2- TM Name Source: Project Attribute

Create a Project Attribute, and associate it with the Project Type. Example:



When configuring the step with the TM Name Source: Project Attribute, make sure to enter the correct internal attribute name, in the example below Which_TM_to_use.



The project creator or the project manager will enter the TM Name in the project attribute field during project creation or after the project creation using Change Attributes:



When reaching the Update TM step, WorldServer will update the specified TM. Upon the successful completion of the Update TM step, a confirmation will be entered in the Task History, similar to:

Completed Update TM step of task 1 in time [00:00:00] on engine [XXX:clone#287588933:engine#2] with result Done. Execution output: Translation Memory "My Test Update TM" successfully updated.

If the step is not configured correctly, for instance, if the TM Attribute Name is not specified, the Task will fail with an Autoerror pointing to the issue.

3- TM Name Source: Task Attribute

Create a Task Attribute. For example:



When configuring the step with the TM Name Source:Task Attribute, make sure to enter the correct internal attribute name, in the example below TM_Name:



The project creator or the project manager will need to enter the TM Name in the task attribute field selecting the Task and going to More Options/Asset Options/Properties:



When reaching the Update TM step, WorldServer will update the TM specified in the Task attribute. Upon the successful completion of the Update TM step, a confirmation will be entered in the Task History, similar to:

Completed Update TM step of task 1 in time [00:00:00] on engine [XXX:clone#287588933:engine#2] with result Done. Execution output: Translation Memory "My Test Update TM" successfully updated.

If the step is not configured correctly, for instance, if the TM Attribute Name is not specified, the Task will fail with an Autoerror pointing to the issue.
