@kamnlk Amazing. Thank you so much! This workaround will save days figuring out and implementing an alternate solution.
Hi @paul harland & @JoDe, Is this related to a persistence layer issue when a string >2000 characters is attempted to be stored as a process variable? I am experiencing that issue now and I thought I found a way around it by storing the variable as an object, but when I try to stringify that object into a REST call request body, I still get the error (even though I’m not storing the long string). Is there a solution for this?I have a topic on this with more details if you have the time to give it a quick look. Thank you in advance!
@Björn Hultgren Thank you for the help!
Hi @Björn Hultgren, This information is great. I have a quick question related to a challenge we are experiencing. The documentation you linked shows that a prerequisite for the automatic reservation prioritization is that the location must be a picking location. Does that mean that the list below is applied before any prioritization done at the site level? Will the automatic reservation always pull from a floor location before a picking location even if the picking location has a higher putaway zone rating and that is priority 1 in our site setup? Thanks,Dylan
Auto-refresh option does not exist for workflow commands. Is it a frequent use case to update data related to the current page, rather than updating data elsewhere? Hi @Lahirumala de Mel, does this limitation still exist, or is there a way in newer versions to force a refresh?
Hi @kamnlk, thanks for your reply. That is a bummer, but good to know. Hopefully that limitation can be overcome soon!
Hi @kvbe, Thanks for reaching out. I’m looking at the Update ClobData stream attribute in the FndTempLobs end point of the ScheduleOfWorkProductionHandling API (…/ScheduleOfWorkProductionHandling.svc/FndTempLobs(LobId=’{LobId}’)/ClobData). This endpoint also has a PATCH method, but it doesn’t work for updating the ClobData attribute; I tried using the PATCH method in Postman and get an Invalid value for property ‘ClobData’ error. In Postman, updating the ClobData on the record through a PUT call does work, and everything continues as normal. However, when using the Update action in the workflow, I get an error. I’m not sure if it’s because there is a PATCH method available at this endpoint and it is trying to use that over the PUT. I’m not even sure if using a PUT update is possible through workflows, as I’ve never done one since PATCH updates are much more prevalent throughout the IFS APIs. Note: The error comes in a later step, but I am confident it is due to the PUT/PATCH updates, a
Hi @dritter I also observed the similar thing. Not sure if it’s a bug or the intended functionality, How I interpret the workflow payload is that the attributes with PascalCase are from projection call which is done from the client and the attributes with ALL_CAPS are from the event action (Correct me if I’m wrong) Try enabling the sourceref attributes in the event and see if you get the correct values. Otherwise you should have the rowkey of the record in the payload, and using that you can do a projection call to get the correct values. Hope it helps! Damith Hi @dsj, Thanks for your reply. I have all the relevant attributes selected in the custom event. The ROWKEY is available in the input values, but for both records it is the same. Hi @dritter, we currently have a custom event that does this now, but as we are moving to cloud soon I am super interested in this workflow. I’d love to hear how it ends up, and if you are willing to share the bpmn file that would be amazing. If i
Thanks, I will open a new topic. Appreciate all your input!
Ok, understood. I still need to determine how we can consolidate the parts we have in inventory under a single revision so we don’t have transport tasks for items that really shouldn’t be moved yet. Is there a way to change the revision from 1 to 2 for all the parts that are in stock under revision 1?
Hi @Mike The FSM TechnoGeek I thought I’d be able to use fetch() or the XMLHttpRequest() object, but since the workflows run on the Nashorn engine, it doesn’t seem possible. We would have to edit the server-side Java to create an HTTP connection method, but I don’t think we have access to that. I created an idea here. Please give it an upvote or a comment if you think it’s a good idea!Thanks,Dylan
I will submit a request. I suppose in the meantime I will have to write the web requests in JavaScript so I can store both the response body and the response code into variables. Thank you for the help!
Hi @MikeCH , A lot of the parts already exist as inventory parts and were created through the inventory part page, not through the engineering module at all. Also, all inventory parts that were migrated were created directly through the inventory_part entity. I guess those situations are similar to the “Create Inventory Part” dilemma as you outlined? Our business has engineering/manufacturing and distribution divisions, so it is not uncommon for a part we may use in a new engineering design to already exist as an inventory part that was sold through our distribution division (and not created through the Engineering Revision Transfer Actions page).
Hi @dameenda, Thank you for your reply. So, it seems like we can’t avoid getting the 2nd revision of the components in assemblies per the exception you described. We can live with seeing 2 as the revision for the parts, but as I said it seems to be causing bigger issues with the Automatic Putaway/Refill All Putaway Zones. I would really appreciate any advice anyone can provide toward a solution for all the extra transport tasks this creates. Thanks in advance!
@Buddhi Gunasekara I am having a similar issue that I’m hoping you may be able to help me with. I have two situations at the moment:Valid Request “response” output key is populated with the JSON response. “ResponseCode” response variable is empty/undefined. Invalid Request “response” output key is empty/undefined. “ResponseCode” response variable is “400”. My issue is that I’d like the workflow to continue when there is an error code provided in the response, but I’d also like to access the response values so that I can display the error message to the user. Additionally, I’d like to have the ResponseCode when it is a successful request too so I can include different paths based on response type. Basically, I would like to have both values in both situations, as you would normally have in any web response. Is this possible? Thanks in advance,Dylan
