(...) Hi everyone, with the advent of BPS 2022 during the save/path transition of an workflow instance it will be checked, whether the latest version of a process matches the version whit which the instance has been retrieved. If you save the process in Designer Studio it will get a new version and you have to reload the page. You can no longer execute paths or even save the workflow instance . While I can (...)

(...) number field. Btw. this should be thread safe ;-) 2.) Instead of putting this reservation actions (custom action + SOAP action) in each path, we thought about having this as a global action (Upon instance saving). Is this possible and will it be triggered on each event (save button, path transition)? I hope the question is clear enough, looking forward to your input. Thanks in advance & best reg (...)

(...) I try to use the following functionality: "Security based on organization structure. This functionality allows you to view and edit your subordinates’ instance s and tasks (in the same manner that those subordinates would be able to), and also lets you delegate subordinates' tasks to yourself (or another person), in order to take over and complete them. " I can view and edit my subordinates' doc (...)

(...) are gathering data from the national registry of companies when registering a new partner into our system with the action. In 2022 we just receive the following error »Object reference not set to an instance of an object.« I can not find anything in the log (guid of the error is not shown anymore). Best regards Aleš

(...) We are using a Hot-Mailbox to process incoming e-mails with a pdf attachment. The attachment is added to the instance corresponding to the barcode applied on the pdf. This works fine so far. There is now the need, that the users has to send at least one other attachment which does not have a barcode and these should be added to the instance as well. Thought this would be possible by configure the (...)

(...) a dynamic number of documents, you should use subworkflows. The second solution works alright when we are talking about 2-20 documents, but (I'm not sure if all of you are aware) creating an new instance , ore moving it one step is a verry slow action and if you need to move or create 1000 instance s using the default actions you will have to wait sometimes hours. Another problem is that the action is (...)

(...) ion action not working as expected. SELECT CASE WHEN NOT EXISTS (Select WFD_ATTchoose1(Form name), WFD_ATTChoose4 (Step name) from Wfelements where WFD_DTYPEID='77(Dictionary ID)' AND WFD_ID='instance ID' AND WFD_ATTchoose1 = '{Form name}' and WFD_Attchoose4='{Step Name}') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END Is my SQL query wrong?

(...) Dear Webcon Community! Problem: longer background processes has to be split to smaller parts to fit in transaction timeout limit. For example if you have to move 50-1000 instance s each morning taking some minutes, we have to use "select top " and run global action more often (eg. in every 10 minutes) Earlier (before BPS 2020), it was a once a day run. Proposal: have new GA setting to specify nu (...)

(...) uld be to get the first approver from the tasks table via SQL and make sure that he is not within the users for the second approval. So that this user would not receive a second task on that workflow instance . Does that work or is there a better approach? Can I use an SQL statement for the user assignment? Any better suggestion? Thanks for your answers in advance.

(...) Hi folks, I need to grant task assignments to a specific user, for already existing specific instance s. And a select other person, which is already assigned, should be unassigned. Except for the "Add/Remove Privileges" Action (which is not what we want), I have found no way to switch task assignments. Is there a way to do it, preferrably via a MenuButton? Kind regards

(...) Hello community, it may be a silly question but my research in the knowledge base did not deliver a clue: When I use a HotMailBox to initiate new workflow instance s, can I get WEBCON BPS 2022 to take the e-mail subject as content for a field "Title" and the mail body as content for a field "Description" (multiline field)? I found the ability to set default values within the HotMailBox configurati (...)

(...) ead of that it would be nice to have a DATA TABLE with _links_ to all former files, so e.g. the editing person could open the original word file, edit it and attach the modifed version to the new instance . I have the WFD_ID of the original instance as technical field. Has anybody an idea, how i could create those links? Thanks in advance, Bjoern

(...) Hi, I am trying to move multiple related child instance s through an action. I tried doing that with the “Move workflow (SQL)” action. The query I used can be found in the Attachments. The table I get also looks fine, but I still get the Error "Incorrect column PATH_ID format". I already checked all of the IDs, they should all be fine. I used the following thread as a reference: https://alterpaths.com/ (...)

(...) Hi, as it is not possible to delete unwanted business entities when there are instance s with them being used in it would be nice to have a parameter to deactivate them to make them disappear in the BE-field.

(...) Hi folks, It seems like the Popup Search Windows has a limit of items which can be selected. I need to have at least 40-50 items selected, but after about 20, (only after saving the instance ) it cuts all the others out which were selected.... Is there a way around this problem? I have to use the popup search window, because changing it now, would lead to dataloss of all already created instance s (...)

(...) Hi folks, My goal is to send an email when a comment has been entered in a instance . Sadly I have found no way to find out if there has been a new comment to trigger an email action on path traversal. I hope someone can help out. Best regards Fabia

(...) t a notification email for information, the receipient doesnt have a task in the step. So i defined a template, put fields and grids in, and lokked at the preview. Whatever i try, if I test with an instance that is currently in a step that is avi for MailApproval, Webcon adds the available path-buttons to the end of the email. This will confuse people that are only meant to be notified a lot. We are us (...)
