Variables produced
This action produces a variable containing the count of cloud data records for the specified Octoparse task(s).
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use the {x} notation to insert previously created variables into parameter fields. This is particularly useful when you need to dynamically specify Task IDs based on previous operations or when you want to use the data count result in conditional logic for your workflow.
Notes
You must first authenticate with Octoparse using the "Log in to Octoparse" command before using this command.
Ensure the Task IDs provided are valid and exist in your Octoparse account.
For multiple tasks, the command will return the total count across all specified tasks.
The data count reflects only the cloud data in Octoparse, not local data.
