Hi! Is possible using REST WEB SERVICE to sent: { "type": 0, "firm": 0, "id": 0, "ord": 0, "description": "string", "lines": [ //Item list { "ord": 0, "value": 0, "type": 0, "percent": 0, "direction": 0, "dimensions": [ { "id": 0, "type": 0 }, { "id": 0, "type": 0 } ] } ] } When I use 'Json grid' I do (...)

On timeout

0 2

Hello, I have a workflow and a final step where i execute "On a timeout" automation. But sometimes, it is not executing because it says it is checked out by the user. WEBCON BPS Timeout ID (TIM_ID): 2 Message: The element has been checked out by user: Is there a way to prevent this thing? So you cannot edit the form on the final step?

Invoke REST Web Service and application/json

0 2

Hi all! I am really struggling with this action. I am trying to send JSON data to a REST web service. JSON string is generated by a business rule, which contains a JSON Query (FOR JSON). Testing this business rule works fine, also umlauts are shown. My configuration in request body is body type: Binary, which is the only way to send dynamic JSON data. Somehow my encoding (which should be UTF-8) gets lost. I am sending Content-Type:application/json in binary part headers, my ass (...)

Update/add attachments in Custom SDK action

0 2

Hello, I'm trying to update (preferred) or add a new attachment from a custom SDK action but have been unable to do so. The action reads the contents of a word attachment and makes changes to the content and should then update the attachment. Reading the attachment works fine but updating or adding a new one does not seem to work. Is there any complete and working sample code for updating/adding attachments from a custom SDK action available? thanks!

JSON query on WFElements on path

0 2

Hi all! We want to execute a JSON query on a path (actually it is some business rule containing SQL query) and send these results to an external endpoint (REST service). The problem is that the query does not reflect current changes in form, since this happens on save. This should be related to database transaction and current values which are not persisted at this moment. Is there even a way to handle this scenario properly in Webcon? We have a dictionary process, so there is no (...)

Set multiple sender email addresses

1 2

Hi, How to set up multiple sender email addresses? In the configuration of sending emails you can settup only one account and our custommer would like to send emails from different inboxes depending on the application. They use Graph for the email configuration. Graph is capable of sending emails from multiple accounts, but can we settup this somehow in webcon? I find it strange not to be able to as it is quite an important functionality especialy when webcon allows multiple applications to (...)

Add substitution for more than one person

0 2

Hi, In my "Leave of absence" process I allow users to select more than one person who will be the substitute during the leave. Action "Add substitution" (not sure it's name is exactly like this, I have Polish version) in current version, provided with the form field containing more than one person, adds the substitution only for the first one. It seems to have been working some versions ago. Is it normal now, does anyone have a workaround?

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 (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)

Issue with sender email address

0 2

Hi, I'm using MS Graph to send emails. No matter what I define in the notification action on process level, Webcon uses the default email address set in the System settings > Email notifications > Configuration of sending emails. Is this a known bug or is it me that is doing something wrong? The version I'm using is 2022.1.2.59 Thank you in advance for a reply.

This will confuse people tha (...)

Error when changing SOAP Action Template

0 2

Hello to everybody, today I encountered an issue within WEBCON BPS V. 2022.1.2.59 that was reproducable and maybe this hint may help someone having a similar issue: I raised a SOAP web service action template some weeks ago in the version mentioned and today was forced to change it as new parameters had been added to the listener that I needed to add to the configuration. I was able to enter all setups as requested and to leave the configuration sub dialog. When I wanted to save the entir (...)

Throw error in action on path

0 2

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 (...)

Operator 'ForEach'

0 2

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 (...)

We'd like to add the same number of records to Sharepoint list as the number of values selected in the abovementioned form field.

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.
