@PRODQ 

Below is the function that get called in a certain window to count the number of documents attached. 

DOC_REFERENCE_OBJECT_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count

 might be useful to start with your requirement. 

Thanks for this, Sahan.  I had tried that but couldn’t get my head around what was required here.  

service_name - database ie IFS1?
   lu_name - CustomerOrderInvHead
   key_ref - ???
   service_view_name - ???

ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count(service_name,lu_name,key_ref,service_view_name)
 

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hi PRODQ,

There are 2 ways to get this.

Method 1:

Open the debug console and check the below call it has the relevant information for Lu_name_key_ref and service

For ex:

This is the parameters when I we get in the customer Order window

In here Lu_name = CustomerOrder

Key_ref = ORDER_NO=*4325^

Service_name = DocReferenceObject (this is the service name for documents)

Method 2:

Attach a document to a relevant window and go to document object connections window and search the relevant record via doc_no. You can easily get the Keyref and Luname(But I notice for some LU’s this can be different)

I can see there is method(app10) exists only accept 2 parameters (luname and keyref) which will return the documents attached

result for the above example

Hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Sahan

This has been helpful, Sahan, so thank you but I’m just not quite there. 

This is what the debug shows when I query in Customer Invoice view

I’m “translating” this as follows:

ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count('DocReferenceObject',CustomerOrderInvHead,key_ref,null)

… which falls at the KEY_REF stage

Do you have any suggestion as to what should be entered as the ‘KEY_REF’ parameter at all?

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks

Linda

@PRODQ 

You should use the highlighted value in this case

Also you can use this 2 parameters call instead of 4 parameters call would be easy

Hi Sahan

Thanks for continuing to stick with me. 

Your suggestion is OK for that particular invoice but I want to use this function to add a custom field to the customer invoices view that counts the attachments against each invoice.  

I have tried your suggested

ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count(lu_name_ => :lu_name_,
                                                                                                             key_ref_ => :key_ref_)

but got the following when trying to validate it so it seems I can’t use just 2 parameters

This does work but I need to be able to add a parameter not 'COMPANY=PD^INVOICE_ID=620693^'

ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count('DocReferenceObject','CustomerOrderInvHead','COMPANY=PD^INVOICE_ID=620693^',null)

When I enter this ...

ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count('DocReferenceObject','CustomerOrderInvHead',KEY_REF,null)

… it errors on validation

I can’t help feeling I’m so close but not quite there!  Any other suggestions would be most gratefully received.  

Thank you.

Linda

@PRODQ 

Can you try the following.

In the custom field select a Read only type

then Implementation type = Select

Arguments :v.company,v.invoice_id

Select statement : 

Select ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count('CustomerOrderInvHead','COMPANY='|| :company || '^INVOICE_ID=' || :invoice_id ||'^') from dual

Select the view highlighted as well.

hope this will fix the problem. 

Another step closer, @Sahan Udana, thank you.  It validated OK but error’d when I came to Approve/Publish.  

Is it because there are only two arguments - nothing references the view CustomerOrderInvHead?

@PRODQ 

Yes based on the error it seems like that. Please try out the 4 parameter one. 

ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count(DocReferenceObject','CustomerOrderInvHead','COMPANY='|| :company || '^INVOICE_ID=' || :invoice_id ||'^',NULL) from dual

Mine worked fine in app10 database when I tried. Which version are you in?

Hi Sahan

That’s amazing!  Thank you so much.  This worked with the additions highlighted below

select ifsapp.doc_reference_object_api.Get_Obj_Conn_Client_Hit_Count(‘DocReferenceObject','CustomerOrderInvHead','COMPANY='|| :company || '^INVOICE_ID=' || :invoice_id ||'^',NULL) from dual

I am on Apps9.  

I appreciate you sticking with me on this.  Most helpful.  

Linda

No worries. Glad I could help out :)
