GetMapServiceInfo - Out Arguments
I'm supplying the "Map Service Id" and "Layer Name" in a GetMapServiceInfo box. And I also output the "Map ServiceUrl" and "Layer Id" as strings.
When I run the workflow through the simulator, at the stage where this activity is run, all of output arguments are blank. See attached image.
Should my two out arguments not be populated here? It's reading the two input arguments successfully, but not yielding any output arguments?

'GetMapServiceInfo' is the Client (External) Acitivity (not Server Activity).
The WF Simulator does not know about the Client.
You can NOT test if 'GetMapServiceInfo' works or not on the Simulator.
If you want to test the other part of the WF with 'GetMapServiceInfo' on the Simulator, you need to set it by you (you are the Viewer at this time), or hard-coded for your testing easier.

I find this as well. Every time the Simulator hits a client-side task, it just halts and waits for input from the user. Your only option now is to manually enter all the output arguments which can be very tedious. Is there for the Simulator to simply continue processing when it reaches a GetMapServiceInfo' or some other client-side task.
This is the reason why I never use the Simulator. Most of my workflows have one or more 'GetMapServiceInfo' activities right at the top, so the Simulator gets stuck straight away and I have to manually enter all the output arguments.0
