[solved] Return images in base64 without access to WFAttachmentfiles

0 1

Hi, I'm writing this post to verify, that I didn't overlooked an option. Situation: I have a data table to get the data of subworkflows and the base 64 encoded values of their attached images. This data table is used to create a word document. The standard SQL connection uses the bps_user which neither can read data from a separate database nor is the user allowed to read the attachment file table: "The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'WFAttachmentFiles', database 'BPS_1f6af (...)

Changing AD domain, BPS users?

0 2

Hi, we are considering changing the domain for users in AD in our company, which will consequently result in changing logins in BPS and losing permissions. Are there any scripts available that would allow us to update the tables so that we can preserve the existing permissions and access rights for users? What about licenses? Will they be revoked for the old logins and assigned to the new ones, or is there a specific procedure in place for such a case?

sdk 2025 - error

0 6

Hi, I’ve migrated the SDK from Webcon 2022 to Webcon 2025 R2. During execution, I’m getting the following error: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: This operation is not supported on .NET Standard, as Reflection.Emit is not available. The SDK connects to a SOAP endpoint. The client responsible for establishing the connection is located in a separate library(net standard 2.0). The BPS extension is also implemented in .NET Standard 2.0. How to fix this?

Change size of path panel area

Hi guys, some of our users have pointed out that the pathpanel is too large at low screen resolutions. We've enabled the floating version of the panel, which does indeed take up a lot of space. Is there a way to resize the panel, e.g. using CSS? Do any of you have any ideas? Thanks in advance Gerd

Subject: Partial notification Emails in Parallel Tasks with "Completion-All" Setting

0 3

Dear Community, In a process where parallel tasks are configured with the "Completion – All" setting, I would like to send a notification email to the task initiator as well as to all other parallel task assignees each time one of them completes their task. This should continue until all assigned users have completed their tasks. How can I achieve this behavior? Which action should I use, given that neither "on exit" nor "on path" seems to work in this scenario?

Handling long running operations in WEBCON - task scheduler workaround

1 0

Hi, I’m looking for the best approach to handle long-running operations (potentially taking several minutes) in WEBCON BPS. Scenario: Suppose we need to perform time-consuming Active Directory updates based on a list of items within a WEBCON BPS workflow instance. Given the current execution time limit of 120 seconds, this may not be sufficient. Workaround Approach: My current solution is to use a scheduled Windows Task (created via a PowerShell integration action in WEBCON), then trans (...)

Current list of field limits

0 2

Is there an up-to-date list somewhere showing the limit of attributes that can be used in a single process? I'm asking because I used the Yes/No choice field 40 times, and the only page I found is from 2020, which says that such fields are limited to 20, not 40. https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/limiting-the-number-of-form-fields/70/3

Signing attachments

0 4

I don't have a "WEBCON BPS Software Development Kit" license. I'm wondering about the possibility of electronically signing attachments. Is the only option for using a qualified personal signature the "IT Hit Doc Opener 5" add-on? The "Sign an attachment" action only applies to the signature placed on the server, not the user's personal signature?

Import a multi-line item list || Import listy pozycji z wieloma wierszami

2

Hi. In one of our processes, a user can import data into an item list from an Excel file. Unfortunately, these files often contain at least 100 items, which causes import problems. In such cases, somehow, the import is successful from the admin level (I don't understand the difference). The item list currently has 40 columns, including several selectable fields that also populate other fields or calculated fields. How do you manage importing files with over 100 items for such colossal item (...)

Reports based on the search index (Solr) - webcon 2022

0 2

Hi, in this report, does a user need to have read privileges to view the data? Not to open the document itself, but just to view a specific item within the report. A couple of days ago, this worked without issue(without read rights), but now, without any changes, it no longer does — a user only see rows in the report for elements that have some assigned rights (such as read).

[solved] Is It Safe to Reimport a Production Application Back to Development?

0 2

The application was initially developed in the dev-environment and later exported to the prod-environment. However, changes have since been made directly in the prod-environment that are not reflected in development—and unfortunately, these changes were not documented. Now the question is: Is it safe to overwrite the development version with the production version, considering potential issues such as differing IDs, configurations, or other environment-specific data? If it's not safe, what (...)
