Quick search the community using a search engine

3 2

Hi everyone, let's be honest the search option is more of an autocomplete. Nothing wrong with this since you can still get some useful information. Nevertheless, I prefer searching this site using a major search engine. Since I don't like to do repetitive tasks I put together some JavaScript which speeds this up and can be executed on any (public) site by clicking on a bookmark. Unfortunately gifs aren't allowed so I attached a screenshot: 1: Search results from the community 2: Executing the (...)

Location of SDK Logs

3 5

When creating an SDK action there is an option to use the Logger Class to create logs (https://developer.webcon.com/2021/resources/online-documentation-sdk/html/2c254e06-3ac3-3a82-7c44-dae3d829d1e4.htm) Does anyone know where these logs are located (log file on file system or a specific database table)?

SQL-Query for short Workflow History Data-Source

3 1

Hi all, i thought it might be a good idea to share useful queries that should be reusable for any of us as they are. Although I personally find the built in Workflow-History very useful and really like it for admin-purposes, it might be some kind of an detail-overkill for common users. In order to give users a more simple look of what happened so far in the workflow, I created a datasource that should work for all workflows and translations. Values are shown depending on the users browser la (...)

Your highlights of 2021.1.1

3 1

Yeah, the new version is released and based on the change log, these are my three highlights: 4.11. Using variables representing configuration objects’ ID Item list improvements. Ok, this is cheating but there are a lot of useful changes :) 4.17. Report views in the navigation menu I didn't list the new WEBCON BPS Designer Desk because it's not comparable and would probably be on everyone's top list.

Problem with SDK addition - A strongly-named assembly is required

2 3

Good morning, After updating BPS to version 2023.1.3.240, we encountered an issue in our production environment. The problem concerns an SDK add-in that enables sending XML data to MSMQ queues. We needed to update this add-in because, starting with version 2023, the methods were changed to asynchronous. The add-in relies on an external DLL file, Experimental.System.Messaging. To include this DLL in the add-in, I had to sign it with a strong key. According to BPS, everything went smoothl (...)

Companies management

Hi everyone. How many of you have more than 30 companies in Webcon? I have them much, much more. Don't you think that dropdown list could be much less annoying than scrolling tabs when searching/changing rights in Designer?

Errors in form rule executions on page load (Webcon 2023) (Error: ThereIsNoFieldNamed).

2 2

Hi, After upgrading to Webcon2023 (ver. 2023.1.2.44) we found errors during Form rule executions on page load. It is caused by trying to hide/show/set/etc attributes that are not visible on the form. In the 2022 versions, there were no issues with the same configuration cases. These errors appear during Diagnostics and additionally prevent saving the Diagnostics Session. Does anybody have similar issues with Webcon 2023? I tried to find it in the changelogs but with no success. MS (...)

Delegate task to another group of people after some time

2 0

Hello, I'm trying to find a solution to my problem. Let's say I have a workflow with a START step, INTERMEDIATE and a FINAL step. Intermediate step is assigned to Group B by default, but I need that after 5 days, if no person from this group took any action, to automatically assign the task to Group C. Is there such a way to do this? Thank you.

Transfer of documents between workflows (parent and sub)

2 1

Hi guys, I have created a subworkflow that I would like to use to implement a signing process. I copy the required attachments from the parent workflow to this subworkflow. How do I get the changed (signed) attachments back into the parent workflow and how can I then exchange the original documents there? I think it's not too complicated, but unfortunately I don't know how to do it ;-) Or is there perhaps a way to use certain documents from the parent workflow directly without creating a (...)

Dynamically show / hide the process steps in the status panel of the form

2 2

Hello Community, I would like to show or hide certain steps in the status panel in the form depending on a business logic. However, in the designer I only found a static (checkbox) option. Background is only the clarity about the process steps to be done. I thought maybe it would be possible to simply show and hide the container using JavaScript. Unfortunately, I have not enough experience in this area. Do you have an idea? I tried it once statically with CSS (See Screenshot). Thank (...)

Solution -> [CLOSED] Q: How to get the name of an ItemList within a SELECT statement?

2 2

Good evening everyone, I'm looking for a way to get the name of an ItemList within a SELECT statement. I'm planning to build a way to move an ItemList row to another ItemList in the same instance. Therefore I need an autocomplete field with ID=ItemListID(DET_WFCONID) and Name=? . I'm kind of stuck. At the moment I can't even find it under (https://developer.webcon.com/2022/resources/db/). Anyone out there for a little help? Thanks in advance, Bjoern

[Solved] Dictionary data source does not return all data

2 3

Hi everyone, does anyone has an idea, why a data source dictionary would not return all data, also "access data in the context of system account" is checked? I was banking my head on the wall, why the form validation stopped working until I noticed that the lastest workflow instances are not returned by the data source. The screenshot shows the data from the "data sources" navigation pane, it's not a field which is filtered. Best regards, Daniel

REST API & OData queries

2 1

Hi all! I noticed that OData support has been added to REST API 2022.1.4.xx. I only found one document, which is located here: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/odata-format-in-webcon-bps/346 This document is related to the usage of OData in PowerBI. What we really need is the ability to filter views with OData and REST API. Is that one already implemented and if so, where can I find a documentation of that? <PseudoCode> /api/data/v4.0/db/{dbid}/applications/{appid}/reports (...)

[Solved] How to get "unsaved data" exists information aka "page is dirty"

Hi, does anyone know how to get via JavaScript whether the page "is dirty". So I can do a similar check to "You are leaving the form with unsaved data"? Best regards, Daniel

You could do that with WEBCON BPS?

2 1

Hi everyone, this is not you typically community thread. It’s not about a problem or question but an idea for which I would need your help. I’ve come across a page which listed 101 things you could do with product/platform xyz. This got me thinking whether we could do something similar for WEBCON BPS. For this though I need your help. --- The idea --- Everyone has implemented a number of applications. These are unique for each company, but they share something in common by which they can (...)

Update instance number

2 2

The instance number of our process contains a field that is settup by the user in the form at the first step. What do we do when the instance is automaticaly started by hotmailbox activity in the fisrt step. In that moment we don't have that field filled in yet. A user will take that instance and move it forward after filling in that field. How can we update the instance number in that instance and avoid instance numbers like in the second screensot? The documentation seems a little confusi (...)

HELP / ADVICE NEEDED / Connection webcon -> OAuth -> Dynamics Business Central

2 2

Hi there, ever since OAuth2 connection was implemented I was happy and thought it would make connecting to Dynamics BC (Saas / Cloud Version) a breeze. However, so far, it was / is not. setting up the OAuth2 app authentication in Azure and webcon is pretty straightforward. - it works like a charm in Postman ( I get my bearer token back) but I have no real way to test it in webcon, so I have to assume it´s working. then you still have to set up the REST Web Service connection, then the (...)
