WEBCON BPS 2025: Errored timers/timeouts are retried every 10 minutes

0 0

Hi, during a call yesterday we realized, that a time previously timeout is executed after 10 minutes by default, if it runs into an error. This includes "Element was checked out" errors. While I agree that this may be a good thing for the production environment, but a pain in all others. Unfortunately my user voice was set to "Not now", but maybe it can be revisited now. https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5248?messageid=5248 Best regards, Daniel

Update from 2022 to 2023 - check your SQL Command based business Rules using ID fields

0 2

Hi all, first of all: this is not supposed to be a moaning complaint, just a heads up so other people dont fall for the issue that hit us today. I wanted to share some info regarding the update from 2022 to 2023, as we ran into some very unsatisfying issues with SQL COMMAND business rules that are querying field IDs. It hit us on some neuralgic spots in our main workflow, causing quite some pain right now. If you still have to update to 2023 make sure you test every SQL COMMAND based ru (...)

Special characters

0 2

Hi, I would like to create validation for the input in a column of an item list. I have an item list with two columns (Input, Source). If the Source is "External," I don't want to validate for special characters. I have been using regex on the column, but now I have this condition. One solution I thought of is to create a "for each" loop on the item list and add a validation form... But I would prefer it to happen immediately, when user is inputing, not when the user clicks on the next (...)

Hello, I have read a solution to this topic in a thread: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/2811 Still, this does not refer to a report basing on SearchIndex. How can I achieve the same effect in my reports? Of course, I can create an attribute an update it in each step, but this is very time-consuming, as I would have to update it on every path. Is there any other solution?

Popup search window

0 2

Hi everyone, I'm currently working with a popup search field that retrieves data from a REST web service. My challenge is that I need the ID to also be the value for the field. Essentially, when initializing the field, I need to set both the ID and the Name for the same field. However, when I attempt to do this, I encounter an error. Has anyone else faced this issue or found a workaround to handle this situation? Thanks in advance!

Tip: Prevent ; and # in fields referenced in choose fields

1 0

Hi, in case you have choose fields, which reference information from another workflow you should prevent the user from entering special characters. Example: A subworkflow is linked to a parent workflow with a choose field and uses the Title field as the display name. If a user enters ; or # in the value of the field, this will break the choose field logic. The system will be interpreted as a delimiter for a new choose field. This can be achieved by using a regular expression. RegEx (...)
