Running DM package from the BR and completing the workflow step
I would like to give my users the ability to launch the DM sequence from the workflow step. I have the dashboard with the button that passes the parameters to the DM package and launches the package. The last step in the DM sequence runs the Extensibility BR that completes the workflow step. Everything seems to work except that the workflow step window does not refresh after the sequence completion. The workflow step appears incomplete even though it is. The click on the "refresh Application" icon is required.
Is there a way to address it?
My Extensible BR is below:
Create 1 Dashboard Extender rule with 2 functions - one to Complete and one to Revert. Do not do this by way of a DM Sequence. There is no API for Refresh Application. Take 1 step back to take 2 steps forward.
Hope this helps!
Hi YanSavinsky,
I believe the following solution will give you what you are looking for with minimal changes to your existing logic:
- Remove the last step from your DM Sequence - EPU_Complete_WF
- Create a Dashboard Extender Rule that triggers the DM Sequence and updates the WF Status in case of success (see snippet below)
- Update the button to trigger this dashboard Extender Rule instead
Case Is = DashboardExtenderFunctionType.ComponentSelectionChanged If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("ProcessDMSequenceAndUpdateWFStatus") Then '{REP_SolutionHelper}{ProcessDMSequenceAndUpdateWFStatus}{} Dim selectionChangedTaskResult As New XFSelectionChangedTaskResult() selectionChangedTaskResult.IsOK = False selectionChangedTaskResult.ShowMessageBox = True 'Launch data management sequence Dim customSubstVars As New Dictionary(Of String, String) 'You can use this dictionary to pass on parameters to your DM Sequence Dim objTaskActivityItem As TaskActivityItem = BRApi.Utilities.ExecuteDataMgmtSequence(si, "Workflow EPU Process IFRS", customSubstVars) objTaskActivityItem = BRApi.TaskActivity.GetTaskActivityItem(si, objTaskActivityItem.UniqueID) If (objTaskActivityItem.HasError) Then ' -- If there were errors selectionChangedTaskResult.Message = "Process completed with errors." Return selectionChangedTaskResult Else ' -- If DM sequence runs ok selectionChangedTaskResult.IsOK = True selectionChangedTaskResult.Message = "Process has completed successfully." ' You can paste and adapt your existing WF Status Update code here Return selectionChangedTaskResult End If End If
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Fred
