By having a copy of a external file as attachment instead of only having a link to it, we can take advantage of the great preview functionality. How ever, having copies of a file increase the risk of having multiple versions and loosing track of the relevant document. In my case, we have customers who wants to link to files in SharePoint and other dms. So I'm wondering, how you guys solve this challenge. I'm currently thinking about a simple itemlist having a hyperlink column to store the lin (...)
In the release notes of WEBCON BPS 2021 the new option of using the openid authentication flow is mentioned. However, i did not find an option to use this authentication when calling Rest API's. https://webcon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/WEBCON-BPS-2021-New-Release-Overview.pdf Did i miss something or is it not yet released?
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.
Hello, We have a process where certain tasks are assigned as DW (CC) tasks. The issue is that there is currently no way to filter these DW(CC) tasks in the task view. However, if a user has at least one standard task in a given process instance, DW tasks for that instance become searchable and can be filtered as usual. Could you please confirm whether this is expected behavior, or if there is a supported way to enable consistent filtering of CC tasks?
Hi, if one adds groups in the user privileges of a report users not being member of the configured group(s) get those restricted reports displayed in the suggested reports widget of dashboards in the portal. The report content shows no data - as expected. May this be a bug due to a missing permission check? Kind regards Sébastien
Hi everyone, maybe this question asked before. I am currently working with a WEBCON BPS SaaS instance and I need to connect it to a local (on-premises) SQL Server to access internal data sources. I understand that the WEBCON BPS Bridge is the recommended solution for this hybrid setup to avoid opening inbound firewall ports. However, I am having trouble locating the actual download link for the Bridge installer within my portal or the community downloads section. Could someone please p (...)
Hello everyone, Do you know of any way to detect and read the contents of all QR codes while processing a PDF attachment, when the file consists of multiple merged pages and each page is marked with a separate QR code? When using the standard WEBCON mechanism for reading QR codes, it always returns the content of only the first QR code found in the document, regardless of how many pages or codes the PDF contains. Has anyone faced a similar scenario or found a workaround or alternative a (...)
Hi, I noticed that after migrating BPS groups with a package, the group owner field appeared blank (grayed out). I click "Add" and can specify a person, but this grayed-out line needs to be manually deleted. Furthermore, if I didn't set a group owner, the save failed (the system cleared the group name and ID) and nothing happened. After a while, I accessed these BPS groups, and the group owner field cleared out and the field is blank. Do you have this problem too? I have version 202 (...)
Hi, having e.g. local AD and Entra ID enabled as authentication providers a user gets a page with the WEBCON logo and two buttons for Local AD oder Entra ID login. Is there any way to force always Entra ID login? And if yes, is there any way to force this login page if e.g. an admin user (not existing in Entra ID) wants to use local AD as authentication provider? This could be e.g. a query parameter: ?forceLoginPage=true. Kind regards Sébastien
Update: There has been a bad return in the script that screwed the things up. # Hi, I have a REST API endpoint in PowerShell Universal with the following code for the response: [code] $result = [PSCustomObject]@{ result = [PSCustomObject]@{ htmlLog = $html } isError = $isError #BOOL errorCode = $errorCode #INT (...)
Hi, I have an automation with a for each and selected "item list" as collection type with an item list (let's say A) of the form. Now I expected to get all columns shown under "Columns collection" in the "Values" tab. But there is no entry for it. After searching a while I found the entry of this item list A under "Form fields" as the only item list. Why don't you just keep the same logic as it is for the collection types "any collection" and "data source" where the "Colums collection" (...)
Hi, I have a MSSQL data source with a column newHash that get's created by HASHBYTES and VARCHAR(64) in the SQL query of the data source over some other columns to check if there is a value updated. This hash gets stored in the dictionary entry together with all other values. In the same query I also add the column with the diHash of the associated dictionary entry. When doing a daily sync between data source and dictionary I'd like to compare both columns newHash and diHash. This is used (...)
Hi, I got this error message: "The current process has used all of its system allowance of handles for Window Manager objects." I've been in an automation with for each and the configuration of an action in it. I had to terminate the Designer Studio (2025.2.1.179) through the Windows Task Manager. It's the first time that I got this error and couldn't reproduce it yet. Kind regards Sébastien
In the code-parts of https://developer.webcon.com/docs/configuration-attributes/#configeditablegrid In the code window below the < - sign and > - sign are showed as ' & lt ; and & gt ; ' Is this intentional ? Because the code in the documentation is C# My colleague did not notice right away but I did!
Hi, after switching a single line text field to an integer number several automations broke - as excpected - because the column name has switched from WFD_AttText1 to WFD_AttInt1. Starting a WF instance brings always an error - as expected. That's why I gave the "verify process" a try and I hope to get some warnings due to broken references. Unfortunately there is no warning and I had to search manually and found a broken one in a "data source value" filter as shown in the screenshot. (...)
Hi, I wanted to ask if you're having trouble cloning/copying attributes in Designer Studio for WEBCON BPS 2026.1.4.131? If I have an attribute, for example, WFD_AttChoose6, and I clone it, I see the value in the attribute in the new location (if it's given the same database name, i.e., WFD_AttChoose6) on the form, even though the attribute doesn't have a default value defined in Designer Studio. Furthermore, in the location where I copied it, when I go to "Use" I see that it's being use (...)
Hi, when creating a menu button in a step it also creates an automation as child. It is possible to delete this automation. If there is no automation the button never gets displayed in the edit dialog in the portal. Why not? If we just want that the button executes a form rule without any automation we'd expect to see the button in the edit dialog. Same behavior for global menu buttons of the workflow. Kind regards Sébastien
Hi, short: Business rule text parameter string values only containing digits seem to get casted to an integer value in WEBCON. long: Declaring a VARCHAR variable in SQL as a string like '001' is returned as string. If 001 is replaced by a text parameter in between single quotes its value '001' turns to 1 as integer. I would expect that a string value '001' remains a string when using it as a text parameter in a business rule. This is needed when ids have leading zeros as e.g. SAP often (...)
Does someone know what functions are called when i press the "Duplicate" button on a row in an itemlist ? We want to give the user the ability to copy a row, however after copying the row i need to change certain values of the copy. Right now i trigger the duplicating by selecting the html element and executing a .click() on it(the user is not allowed to just copy a row). The problem is i cannot change the values as the row does not exists at the moment when i try to change the values, and (...)
Hi, I have noticed a discrepancy in the order of weekdays in WEBCON BPS Portal for the EN-GB and EN-US language settings. For EN-GB: - In the Date picker control on the form, the first day of the week is Monday. - In the Calendar report, the first day of the week is Sunday. For EN-US: - In the Date picker control on the form, the first day of the week is Sunday. - In the Calendar report, the first day of the week is Sunday. I would like the week to always start on Monday, both in t (...)
