Hello,
As far as i know, there are no REST endpoints dedicated for Archive databases (as of version 6 of the API), it would require connecting directly to the Archive database using SQL.

Have you checked User Context API instead of Application API?

User Context API authorizes as specific user in the WEBCON system, which would indicate, that it will use name of the person which have been authenticated.

Would love to see this fixed.
Since moving to new outlook which doesn't support RSS i'm missing a lot of notifications.
Somehow the old outlook handled that RSS even with those errors.

Hi,

as you noticed, there's no build in function to access a previous value.
An alternative would be to store the current value in a technical field. You could do this on form load / using the behavior tab or with an action, after the check has been executed.

Hi Maciek,

I'm really surprised, that tasks have been assigned to the employee also the AD account was blocked. The last time, when a task should be assigned to a user which is no longer active / can not be resolved in people field, we got an error.

My approach would be:
- Identify the tasks/workflows from the database level
- Check which of those should actually have task.
Maybe there's / has been an error in the configuration and tasks have been assigned in the final step. I can't imagine that there are really 5000 workflow instances waiting for an actions. If this is actually true my question would be, whether you need the process at all.
- End the tasks of completed workflows
If you have found workflows, which shouldn't have any tasks, you should complete these tasks. There are two options, the supported one, with creating a new path and triggering it's execution or the non supported one with changing the data in the database.
-Alternatively delete the workflow instances, which are no longer important
We have a process in our dev environment, which has a field for workflow ids, get's all the workflows and their children, and theirs until the last level and then deletes those workflow instance from the last level backward.
- If there are still to many tasks which have to be worked on, go into each application and handle those individually.

Hi Mario,

you could take a loot at my approach:

I have the following problem. I'd like to have a kind of popup field on the dashboard where I can display a field from my Dictionary. The field should be stored in a dictionary so that it's easy to maintain. I would then like to display these value in my popup. How can I access the value from my dictionary within my embedded HTML? Or is that even possible, and if not, is there a workaround to achieve this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Unfortunately it's not working. I have a bit different example where I'm retrieving date from a data table so history db will be different(WfHistoryElementDetails) so I modified it. In the end, it did not work. Is only solution via sql ? Is there a solution more 'native' to webcon ?

Hello, I have a case on the portal. An employee was on leave for about 3 years, and during that time, their account in AD was blocked. When they returned, the account was unblocked. They now have almost 5,000 active notifications, which makes working on the portal very difficult because everything runs very slowly. Interestingly, the issue disappeared for a few days but then came back again. Does anyone have any ideas?
