BPM to Service Connect

I would.  Just adjust your “Ostring” to send Service Connect the additional value (see example).  I am a bit of a control freak, so I like to pass as much as possible to SC as well as I think it is less expensive to do the searching with the ABL. 

 

HEADER RECORD:

 

OString = "CompanyID,CustNum".

PUT UNFORMATTED Ostring SKIP(0).

 

 

CODE & DETAIL RECORDS:

 

FOR EACH ttCustomer WHERE (ttCustomer.Company = CUR-COMP) no-lock.

DO.

            Ostring = trim(ttCustomer.Company) +  "," + trim(string(ttCustomer.CustNum)) .

            PUT UNFORMATTED Ostring SKIP(0).

END. END.

First of all, thanks for the feedback - I have Service Connect picking up info from a BPM. Awesome!

 

In light of your suggestions that getting the BPM to pull the ProjectID from the OrderDtl table may be the better route to go, how do you accomplish that? ABL/4GL code?

Could a Customer Shipment BPM alert pull fields from the OrderDtl table? Bottom line, I need the shipment alert to include a ProjectID.



Thanks

I definitely concur here, keep it simple.



But to answer your original question, the bpm sends a schema populated with data (specifically the request side) of the method invoked. Use the advanced button to export this schema then simply drop that into the scs\schemas\userschemas and you can assign them from there in your conversion elements.

I am a new participant to this forum.

I am trying to program Service Connect to email an alert for customer shipments via a call from a BPM. So far I have been able to get Service Connect to send a simple "test alert" but have not been able to get it to retrieve information from the customer current shipment record. How does Service Connect pick up records when it a workflow is called by a BPM? Thus far, my only experience is in feeding .xls files to Service Connect.

Try a little ABL magic on the BPM. Something like below (untested).  And then use the ttCallContextBpmData field in your notification.  You will of course need to “flavor to taste” so to speak.

 

FIND FIRST ttCallContextBpmData no-lock .

 

FOR EACH ttShipDtl WHERE (ttShipDtl.Company = CUR-COMP) no-lock.

IF AVAILABLE ttShipDtl THEN DO:

 

   FOR EACH OrderDtl WHERE (OrderDtl.Company = CUR-COMP) AND (OrderDtl. OrderNum = ttShipDtl.OrderNum) AND (OrderDtl. OrderLine = ttShipDtl.OrderLine) no-lock.

 

OrderDtl.ProjectID = ttCallContextBpmData.Character01.

 

END.

END.
