Hi friends!

I have some questions about Custom Events in IFS Cloud

Under which credentials does IFS execute a SQL Custom Event Action in IFS Cloud?

Is there any documentation on how to trace custom events? More specifically I want to know

  1. if a PLSQL fails, how can I see the ORA error (like for example a bug in the PLSQL Logic that normally would trigger some typical error such as ORA-00933 - “SQL Command Not Properly Ended”)
  2. When precisely a Custom Event was triggered (Something similar to the History Log bug for Custom Event Actions)

Thanks!

This is the documentation in IFS cloud.

Manage Event Actions - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud

you have to trigger the custom event based  crud operations like insert, update , delete.

if it failed due to syntax error or a proper logic error, it pop ups the error when its triggered .

since PLSQL event action type is depreciated, recommendation is to use workflows(BPA).

@wahelk You wrote “since PLSQL event action type is obsolete”

In Cloud 24R1 custom event actions of type “Online SQL” still exist in the application. Can You provide some timeline when the event action type SQL will be obsolete?


Hi Toni,

 

sorry a misinterpret.  its actually depreciation notes. I have no idea when they are going to obsolete the functionality .


There are so many implementations of IFS Cloud solutions using SQL Custom Events, lots of Customers are using it.

I’ll be surprised if there is not a HUGE pushback if they really decide to fully remove that option.


@wahelk I read the documentation you included in your response 

Manage Event Actions - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud

 

Yet I don’t see any information that would answer the question regarding “how to find out when precisely a Custom Event was triggered” (Point B in my original question). 

Do you know if Event trigger history is even captured in IFS?


Tech docs are updated with depreciation notes  I am not sure there is direct way to see history of events triggered.
