How to get file name of output template
I'm calling an activity when an output template is finalized. This activity needs the filename as the parameter.
Right now users have to retype the file name in the parameter value text box. Is there a variable name that i can use to get this automatically? E.g. pagedata.FileName.
Alternatively, is there a way to obtain this value through the activity?

i am not sure if you could do it, may be customize HookTaskDefinition section, i see that this pop dialog is a core PRPC flow action, invoked by the button action.
Instead may be you could open the template rule in your activity and fetch the filename as defined in the template rule.

Hi,
you could perform a obj-open-by handle method once you have identified the pxInskey of the template rule.
Please note that wrt to template functionality, there are 2 set of data involved, one is the actual Template rule (of type RULE-OBJ-TEMPLATE).
Second is the Template Run data instance (of type PEGAMKT-DATA-OUTBOUND-TEMPLATERUN-FILE).
This is because the pzinskey of the template rule changes everytime a user make modification to the template rule. this will/should invalidate the current template staging data which is pending processing, as it was generated using the prior version of template rule.
The template run data instance will always have reference to the latest template rule under "TemplateInsKey" property.

Ahh I see, thanks Manu. But that means that the file to get is hardcoded in a way, no? What I want to do is get the filename of the output template that triggered the finalize activity.
