Hi Folks,



Some of my tasks have become so large that I don't know what all
the subtasks are and what variables were used. So over the course
of the last 2 days I wrote a task and named it 'AutoMate Task and
Variable Cataloger.aml' to help identify all the variables, their
parameters and the various subtasks called.



I’ve briefly tested it and it seems to work well on both AM5
and AM6. Please let me know of any bugs and I’ll try to get
them fixed.



You’re welcome to use it royalty-free for private and
commercial purposes, and make any modification you like. Please do
make changes, make it better and share your changes with the forum.
For example someone might like to update the report format,
currently in just simple text format, but it should be easy to add
a output selection to choose text, html, xml etc...



Here are some brief task details (additional details are documented
in each task, be sure to read the disclaimer):



The project consists of a 3 tasks, a Main task and 2 Subtasks;



1.) Automate Task and Variable Cataloger - Main.aml This is the
main task, used to select the source and report files, setup the
report file and initialize variables before calling the subtask
'Automate Task and Variable Cataloger.aml'



2.) Automate Task and Variable Cataloger.aml This is the work horse
of the task, it's a recursive task meaning that it calls it's self
to traverse task files looking for variable and subtasks.



3.) GetTaskInfo.aml The Start Task Action used to call subtask does
not contain windows file name, it uses a TASKID that looks like
this {695A9060-9424-4509-A39A-54701A73A33D}. The GetTaskInfo uses
the TASKID as an index to locate the task in the AMxTaskFile.atl
file (where x is the version, AM5 would be AM5TaskFile.atl) and
return the full windows path and file name for the task.



I’ve included a sample report generated on the source code of
this project.



Enjoy, and your free to use, modify but please share your changes
with the forum.
