Data row field in control step

0 2

Hi all, I have a process where the user fills in information in a datasource form field. When a value is picked, one of the columns in that datasource is copied into another field (status). This field-status is used in a control step to move the process accordingly. But I need to have that information refreshed, when the process is moved to a system step, it will be there for 15 days which means that it the status is changed, I need that to be reflected on my side. I've tried two approac (...)

Move Workflow giving Error Path ID

Hello all, I know this as been asked in the forum, but I have an issue with the action Move workflow. I've read the answers for another user, but I think I can't use the example on the https://alterpaths.com/massive-update-of-sub-workflows-in-webcon-bps/ because for my case I have 5 different chains in the Child workflow and each of them as their own Complete and Cancel step. This was working prior for the cancelled but I'm wondering if this only works if you have one final step (either (...)

Generating Word documents in preview

0 1

Hello, In 2020 version of Webcon when using "Generate/Update a Word File" action, there was a checkbox "Show on screen" on the Output tab. We were using this option in one aplication to show generated file to a user in a preview mode. After upgrading to version 2021, the option was changed to "Download after file generation" which causes automatic file download without option to quickly preview the document and print it. Is there a possibility to get that previous functionality in version (...)

Dynamic Date field to be set for each 20th based on form field

0 2

HI all, I have a process that will be opened for tax payment. By law, the payments need to be handled until each 20th day for each month. So, the idea is to create a reminder taking that date, so the user does not forget to make the payment. I have a Date of Request from where I pick up the month and year, and I want to set the reminder date as 20th/Month of Request Date/Year of Request Date. I would like to have this automatically calculated instead of relying on the user to select somet (...)

Calling SAP soap services return handshake failure

We are using WEBCON BPS 2022.1.3.45 and should execute some soap actions to to SAP. System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'HandshakeFailure'. Submitting requests via Postman works fine. It seems to be a problem on transport level, related to .netCore/OS and is most likely a problem related to TLS version and Ciphersuites. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66904417/net-core-5-handshakefailure-when-makin (...)

How to empty an item list?

Hi, this question may be silly, but I found no sufficient solution yet: Task: After generating sub workflows from item list entries get the item list entries removed. Approach: Use the action to change item list values with "Replace" Effect: One item list entry is created, all the others are removed Question: How do I get an item list blanked, all entries removed from the database *without* one entry being inserted? If anybody has a hint for me, it will be very helpful. Thank you f (...)

The idea is: - Open request and save the date of request (as the current date) - Calculate how many months until end of year (civil year) - Initialize the item list with the number of rows as the number of months - Each row will create independently the payment for that month Although I have all the idea structured, I'm facing some questions in regards to: - How can I initialize dynamically the item list with an in (...)
