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....
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 IfI hope this helps.
Thanks,
Fred
