Actions
Hi community! We are getting some data from external system via REST API. Specifically workflow elements are created and there is a default path for saving workflow element. This can be easily done with the well known POST endpoint: /api/data/v4.0/db/{dbId}/elements Now we are facing the challenge to check if there are already elements in our system, to avoid duplicates. This can also easily be done with an integrated SQL query like Select Count() from WFElements WHERE ... So we (...)
Hi all! I personally think the operator 'ForEach' is a great addition to version 2022.1.2.31, thanks to Webcon Team. Unfortunately I do not find any documentation on that, especially how to iterate over 'Any Collection' and access columns in custom action. If I select 'Any collection' and put some SQL statement in there, is there a way to access specific table columns from generated table result? If I take a look at the configured XML I only see {ANYCOLLVALUE} macro. Hope the que (...)
Hello, I have some date set on forms. Need to find any solution to have that date - 1 month for example: Date on form is (YYYY-MM-DD): 1. 2022-05-05 2. 2022-01-10 3. 2021-12-25 Date that I expect need(YYYY-MM-DD): 1. 2022-04-05 2. 2021-12-10 3. 2021-11-25 Do you have any idea to solve it? My poor trying on the screen below (a lot of counting and IF's and still get wrong format of the MM). Thanks in advance for any suggestions and ideas.
Hi all! We have to update some columns in a workflow dependent on other columns from the same workflow item, e.g. WFD_AttDecimal1 = WFD_AttDecimal2 * WFD_AttDecimal3. Sounds trivial, but it isn't, especially in a SaaS system, where 'Run an SQL procedure' is missing. Another approach for us was to use 'Update related workflow instance' action, but this approach obviously leads to nowhere (maybe this is a bug or document context is missing here). We tried this in a minimal example, ju (...)
Hi, I am trying to move multiple related child instances through an action. I tried doing that with the “Move workflow (SQL)” action. The query I used can be found in the Attachments. The table I get also looks fine, but I still get the Error "Incorrect column PATH_ID format". I already checked all of the IDs, they should all be fine. I used the following thread as a reference: https://alterpaths.com/wait-for-sub-workflows-step-advanced-configuration/ Does anyone have a clue what might be (...)
Hi, I have an issue with the Change Items List action. It is defined to wait for required tasks to be completed and is tied to multiple people completing an action. But when the last person completes the action, the item list is updated, but only for the last person who completed their task. Is there any way to define the action so it updates the list for all the people who are involved in completing an action beforehand? Thank you
Hi, We have a following scenario: 1) An user has a form field where he can choose mulitple values in one form field (lets say different persons) 2) Then the user submits the form and it goes to a SharePoint list. We'd like to add the same number of records to Sharepoint list as the number of values selected in the abovementioned form field. So each record should represent one person and have other form fields the same for all persons. An example. The user fills the form in: 1 form fiel (...)
Hello, I have a quick question - are privileges added to item through "Add privileges" action visible in the administrative "privileges to item" panel? I'm asking, because I have an action that is being run on an item, there is no error, but the rights given rhis way are not visible. Is it normal (I have the latest of 2021 versions still running)?
Hello, I would like to ask if it is possible to automatically collapse attachments in a given group? I wish this would work in the same way as the collapsed attribute group. Alternatively, is it possible to write a rule that would control this? Thank you for your help.
We are using a Hot-Mailbox to process incoming e-mails with a pdf attachment. The attachment is added to the instance corresponding to the barcode applied on the pdf. This works fine so far. There is now the need, that the users has to send at least one other attachment which does not have a barcode and these should be added to the instance as well. Thought this would be possible by configure the "Additional attachments" sections, up to now i was not successful. Is there anything i mi (...)
Hi, has anyone encountered problems with Invoke Sopar service action after upgrading to version 2022.1..1.53? We forgot to test the functionality immediately after the upgrade (due to some issues with the license) so rollback is not an option…. We are gathering data from the national registry of companies when registering a new partner into our system with the action. In 2022 we just receive the following error »Object reference not set to an instance of an object.« I can not find anything in (...)
Hi, We have updated our webcon to the latest 2022 version "2022.1.1.53 Standalone", but after update the "Generate RS Report" action is returning error while execution as below: Error in Menu button action Generate Initial Detail Report. The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Ntlm'. The authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM'. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. we didnt change anything in the configuration and I (...)
One of our customers would like to print the pdf attachment when moving to the next step. As there is no action to send a document to a printer (apart from print a barcode label), i'm wondering if anybody implemented this.
Hi, Is it possible to copy an entire item list to a subworkflow? In the official guide, there is just an example of copying form fields to subworkflows: https://howto.webcon.com/action-start-a-sub-workflow/ Has anybody accomplished anything like this? Thanks
I have a dictionary process containing some appartments, and another process where you make reservations. I would like to do one thing - let's say you are browsing the appartments list and when you find the right one, you want to make the reservation right from the appartment form. At the moment to do this I first need to click "edit", then a menu button with the relevant action appears which I can click and all works as planned. I also made a javascript button which invokes the action from the (...)
Hi, I am currently having Trouble with timeouts in my system. I made an easy timeout that should only do a path transition every minute, to test if the timeouts would work. Currently no action is called during the trigger of the timeout, but even when adding a simple action the timeout doesn’t work. I did check the following thread about a similar problem (https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/1068?messageid=1068). Their it is suggested to check if all services are working and if “basic fea (...)
Dear All, sorry if this is an extremely easy question, but how do I select printer in action Print barcode label? I have an option to select primary printer and accounting printer. But how do I select "Document entry points" with assigned printers there? What if we have more than two barcode printers in company? How can we point that for specific process we will use this printer, and for other process we will use different printer? Anyone found a solution for that? Anyone faced same issue? T (...)
Hello community! Maybe this is a very basic question, but I am asking it anyway ;-) I tried out OnTimeOut action, but after some experiments it is very unclear to me, how this is expected to work. I added one time out action with Type: Minute, Interval (minutes): 1, Repetition count: Infinite and 1 action below which basically changes the value of a single field. My expectation was, that this field change should happen on every workflow element every minute, but this didn't happen. What di (...)
We are sending out email and need to know whether the email had been delivered or not. When sending a custom email the "Delivery notification" and "Read notification" can be set. How do the interact with WEBCON BPS or better say, how can i check for the delivery/read notification?
Hi All, I have a workflow where I use “Start a subworkflow (SQL)” action. I also have a “Wait for sub-workflows(system step)” step where I wait until all the subworkflows will end. I configured the “Wait for sub-workflows” to go back to “register step” when one of the subworkflows finished negative. See picture And here are my problems: Let say I started 3 sub-workflows and one of them went negative path. Although my main workflow went to the “register step” the rest sub-workflows are sti (...)
