The BOOLEAN UDP is always evaluating to FALSE in ESQL. Why?
I have defined a UDP for a sub-flow as doLookup. It is set as mandatory and the default is false. I have imported this into a message flow and checked the box for the doLookup UDP to denote true. In my ESQL, I have defined this variable as
| Code: |
| DECLARE doLookup External Boolean FALSE; |
The user trace always shows the value of doLookup as FALSE at an IF statement. The subsequent processing is therefore, aborted.
There is this statement in the Infocenter.
| Quote: |
| Take care when specifying the data type of a UDP, because a CAST is used to change the value to the requested DataType. |
What does it mean ? Could it be the reason why I am getting a FALSE value all the time ?

If you

do you get TRUE all the time?
There is obviously something wrong in the way you have defined the property in 'User Defined Properties' tab of the flow file. Is the datatype of the property Boolean? |

I get FALSE even when DECLARE assigns TRUE. Yes, the property is set to Boolean.

And you get FALSE even if you set the flow property to 'True', and even if you override it to 'True' in the bar file?

Open your flow (in the graphical view) and on the bottom click "User Defined Properties".
Check the value that is assigned as "Default Value" in the Properties there. It is set to False usually 
Change to true, if desired

Whatever be the default value, the OP has stated that he has checked the check box on the flow level to make the value of the variable to be true.

So the default value should not be an impact in his case.
Maybe he can check the spelling of the variable names in grap and the code, just to be sure  |

Hey OP, boolean UDPs work for me. Try around (as kash3338 suggests) and make it work !

 Sorry, I didn't notice that.
Broker version?
Is the subflow deployed separately?
Application or Independent resources? |

For the time being, I solved this, by taking string ("true" = TRUE, etc.) as input for this UDP. I am bit behind on this one due to illness on family.

I am not sure if I have to re-open this thread( as it is two years old) but looks like this i never resolved.I am seeing similar issue with Boolean UDPs. They are not showing up in the MB Explorer for me to update in run-time. I changed the same property to a String and it works fine. I believe this is a Product Defect or it is designed the way it is behaving.
Environment
WMB v7.0.0.6 & v8.0.0.1
Windows 7
