How do I set the URL parameter when using FndStreamMessages in Workflow

Try system parameters. There a setting called “System Url” url (Make sure this always reflects the host name). You can use an api task to read this. And you can try pre building the url with host name and order no appended in a script task. set the built url string as an execution variable. use that execution variable as the value of “Url”.

Workflow Call action in Nested entity

By looking at projection metadata, it seems the action you’re trying to call is a bound action. You can call a bound action like this..By looking at projection odata metadata, we can see that it’s expecting a parameter of type IfsApp.CreateShopOrderReportsHandling.VrtShopOrderReportControl in your scenario.By looking at the metadata again, we can see there’s an entity set we can use to read that entitySo we can use above information in a workflow. API ReadAPI CallYou can try above to call the action you need. Given that you can provide a valid value to ${VrtObjkey}, workflow will make the action call, giving the entity read in first api task as a parameter internally.

BPA Workflow error: Cannot commit in Current PL/SQL Session ORA-06512

@bdoucette I'm sorry if we made you feel that way. We understand your situation.Whatever actions done in a workflow should be atomic. With commits in the workflow process, if a workflow task fails, workflow might revert some changes,and some changes will persist(changes which are explicitly committed). This data inconsistency will affect businesses and that is why workflow doesn’t allow commits in the process.I wish we had a better solution, but only alternative at the moment is to find another API that has the same functionality without commits.

@daniel.boczar Above limitation applies to asynchronous workflows as well. So you can’t use workflow to call the action/function you are calling.

Get the "name" property from a BPA enumeration

Only the id of the selected user task enumeration is readily available in the execution. Your easiest option is to introduce a duplicate json to execution that holds the enum in user form. Script task 1:var json = '{"enum1":[{"id": "DB_TEST1", "name": "Test1"}, {"id": "DB_TEST2", "name": "Test2"}]}';execution.setVariable('json', JSON.parse(json));Script task 2:var jsonObj = execution.getVariable("json");var sl = String(selectById(jsonObj, execution.getVariable('enum1')));execution.setVariable('selected', sl);function selectById(json, id) { for (var i = 0; i < json.enum1.length; i++) { if (json.enum1[i].id == id) { return String(json.enum1[i].name); } }} Be sure to place script task 1 after the last user task. Another option is to add the enum name resolution by id logic as a projection function and call it via an API task where necessary.

Error in BPMN deployment

Usually if the error says “form field ………………..”, then it is related to a User task.. Check if you have added a form field in your user task/s without selecting a type value.

Potential infinite recursion detected in cascading BPAs

Yes. This is the default max number of cascading workflows allowed for a transaction. This reply elaborates on how to change that and the caveats of increasing that number. If you only need data validation for header level, you can consider short circuiting wf in the subsequent executions that occur after header change. This techdocs example discusses on how to detect recursion and exit the unintended wf executions.https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r2/040_tailoring/500_business_process_automation/080_workflow_examples/#detect_recursion_example Also you can try a projection action(state change bound action) instead of an event to trigger the workflow ,if it suites your use case. Hopefully projection action will trigger the workflow only once. So you don’t have to worry about the cascade limit.

BPA - Recursive error when there are more than 20 records

20 is the default number of workflows that can be cascaded. This is an editable configuration in bpa_system_settings_tab. Try adding “Variable” as “CASCADE_LIMIT” and “Value” as a higher number which suites your scenario. If it doesn’t work right away, try restarting the OData container and rechecking.But keep in mind, all these workflows will run in a single transaction. If the workflow load is too much, you will face issues like transaction timeout. If issues like this arise, you will have to turn the workflow execution into async.

BPA Workflow - Async (started by background job) - get notified of errors?

There’s no inbuilt way for workflow to notify async workflow failures. All the async workflow runs are in the table BPA_ASYNC_SYS_TAB with the status. However, you can try something like below.When you say “webservice to download from the currency rates”, are you using a IFS Rest Call within your workflow. If you do, say your web service is not available. Then in your rest connector, you can get the http error code(you can capture most common error codes starting from 300 using “Add/Modify Response Codes” button in REST Call task). By using a gateway in workflow, based on the status code, you can conditionally write to a table (which you might have to create). That table will serve as a log on failed async workflows. You might be able to further improve by this by feeding data to some sort of email service or something. Just a thought.

IFS Workflow REST API Response Handling

@dritter Only the scenarios you described are implemented atm. If there’s an error code, rest call doesn’t assign the error message to a variable and for http status codes < 300, status code is not recorded into a variable. Please do a request to IFS if you feel this is a feature you like to see in future releases.

BPA Workflow error: Cannot commit in Current PL/SQL Session ORA-06512

It seems this pl/sql action has commits within the logic. These kind of transaction handling cannot be used with workflows. Reason is, these commits interfere with the workflows ability to roll back data in case of a workflow error. This is mentioned in tech docs(known limitations for workflows).

IFS REST call output values are not fetching in the workflow

Yes. You just have to use JsonPath expression $Then the whole response will be assigned to the variable you specify.

IFS REST call output values are not fetching in the workflow

Workflow uses JsonPath(A query language for JSON) to access response variables. It seems your JsonPath expression is not pointing to what you want. For example, if you want to get columns.id try something like $.columns[0].id. (Because columns is an Array and you need to specify which array object you need id of)

IFS Workflow REST API Response Handling

You can identify what alternative response codes you want to handle and select them in “Add/Modify Response Codes”. Then workflow execution will move forward for selected response codes in addition to standard “Ok” responses. Keep in mind that you get a values to _Response variable only when there is a deviation from standard ok responses. This behavior is important if you’re using “_Response” variable in a gateway. Make sure to check for existence of variable in the execution before using.

This happens because, in Entity definition “UnitMeas” field is not updateable. In current workflow implementation, default values are set only for updateable fields.

Projection call is broken in IFS Cloud

The reason for this being unsupported is AddSourceLinesToShipment requires a collection as parameter and workflow doesn’t support passing collections as parameters. Hope this helps anyone investigating further.
