I have added a new field into the IN_VND_ITM_XLS component interface, (BU_PRICE_STATUS), which is in a SQL View already part of the delivered template, ITM_VND_UMP_CVW. I modified the view (Record definition) in App Designer to pull in the BU_PRICE_STATUS field and then modified the component interface and added this field.
When I regenerate the template in Excel, it populates the additional field fine, I select it as an input cell (along with the others I originally had) and I submit the data and return back the green OK status.
When I look online in PeopleSoft I see that the vendor data was created for the item, however the BU_PRICE_STATUS field is populated with a different value than what I specified on the upload. The default value listed on the field definition in app designer was what was populated, instead of the value I had entered for the upload.
Is there something else I did to modify for this to work? I know that when you run the Item Loader process, it uses a Message definition (IN_MST_ITM_XLS) so I wasn't sure if the message needed to be updated to? Thanks in advance.
2/27 EDIT:
I've found that the Component (for this component interface) - IN_MST_ITM_XLS uses a function called PRCSITEM within a Function library record - FUNCLIB_INEIP and this populates data in a staging table called PS_ITM_VND_UMPR_EC. I see that this table does not contain the field BU_PRICE_STATUS (which I didn't believe it would) so I'm thinking if the code/table can be updated to capture this field it would work. Hoping someone can suggest if I'm in the right area and what would need to be changed.

In FSCM I am looking to modify the Search view on Add/Update PO page (Main Menu--> Purchasing--> Purchase Orders--> Add/Update POs) to display the Requisition ID associated with the PO in the search results page. The only table I have found that has both PO_ID and REQ_ID is PS_PO_LINE_DISTRIB however unless I use a SELECT DISTINCT clause I will get multiple PO_ID rows when there are more than 1 line on a PO.
Within Purchase Order Inquiry you can see the related Requisition ID's related to a PO by clicking on Document Status link inside the Purchase Order inquiry details page.
I started looking at the PeopleCode within the the Purchase Order Inquiry to see how they are linking the PO to a Requisition and it appears to use work tables with related PeopleCode function libraries, but I wasn't able to figure our how they get linked. I am hoping someone else may know the answer to this. Thank you.
I'm on an old version of PeopleSoft (SCM 8.80, Tools 8.51), so your mileage may vary. I'm assuming you're familiar with App Designer. If not, comment below and I'll add some details about what I'm clicking on.
Find the name of the Add/Update PO component.
Open the PURCHASE_ORDER component in App Designer. Now let's find the name of the search record. Note that there is a different record for the Add Search Record, so if you want to change that too, do all of this for that record as well.
Open the PO_SRCH record, and add the REQ_ID field to it. Make sure you mark the field as a key. You should consider saving your modified PO_SRCH under a new name in case you want to be able to revert to vanilla PeopleSoft. If you do, change the Search Record in the component to your new record name.
We can see that PO_SRCH is a view. So let's modify the view to pull in REQ_ID from PO_LINE_DISTRIB. As you mentioned above, there doesn't appear to be another table with both PO_ID and REQ_ID, so you'll have to do a SELECT DISTINCT.
We should do a LEFT OUTER JOIN instead of a standard join because if you do a standard join and you enter a purchase order with no lines and save it, then you'll never be able to retrieve that purchase order in this window. Since REQ_ID is a key field, we can't have a null, so we have to do the CASE.
One odd thing that I ran into here was building the view now gave me an error about selecting fewer columns in the SQL than I had in my record definition. I solved it by modifying the view for SQL Server. I've never had to do that before and I don't know why I had to do it for this specific record. But anyway, I entered the same SQL under the record's "Microsoft SQL Server" definition.
In the properties of PO_SRCH, we can see that it has a related language record. If you're only using one language, you can probably get away without changing this, but I'll do it for completeness. Open PO_SRCHLN. Now add REQ_ID to it (mark it as a key field like you did above), and save it as PO_SRCHLN2 (I'm saving it under a new name so I don't break anything else that may be using PO_SRCHLN).
Edit the SQL the same was as you did above. Note: I didn't have to also change the Microsoft SQL Server definition like I did above. I have no idea why.
Now build PO_SRCHLN2.
Go back to PO_SRCH and change its related language record to PO_SRCHLN2.
Now build PO_SRCH.
Hopefully you didn't get any errors and your search page has the requisition ID in it now. My system doesn't use requisitions so they're all blank in the example below, but the new field is there.
I am trying to build a PowerApp to log setup times of our machines by our fitters.
This is what my app looks like:
There are buttons named "Uhrzeit". Pressing these will write the current date and time into the Date/Time fields. I am using the following code:
UpdateContext({Total8:(Text( Now(); "[$-de-DE]dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" ))})
The Date/Time field is named Total8.
The code is working well but after saving the form and opening a new record the old data is still available in the fields. By clicking on the button "Zeiten zurücksetzen" I can "delete" the old data.
UpdateContext({Total8:""})
Problem: When I open one of the older records the old data is not available in the form. There is only the value of the last record. In the Common Data Service where my records are saved the values are correct.
As an example, I am saving this record:
When I open a new record, the values of the record 1 are still available. This should not be the case if my app worked properly.
For your Information:
If I enter the date/time without tapping the button, saving the record and opening a new record I don't have the problem. I think the "UpdateContext" code is not the code I should use here.
Can anyone help me solve the problem?
I don't think there's a problem with using the contexts in this way -- but remember that a context is just a variable. It isn't automatically linked to a datasource in any special way - so if you set it equal to Now(), it's going to keep that value until you do something different.
When you view an old record, you need to get the data from CDS and update your contexts to match the CDS data. Does this make sense?
Yeah thats my problem.
I want the variable to be linked to a datasource. Or is it possible to write the date/time into the fields without using a context variable?
I have a Repeat grid layout, as a source is Report definition. The grid displays twenty row per page. So, if there are thirty-three rows, there are four pages.
I have got a task to export all grid's data to CSV. I have found out the pxConvertResultsToCSV activity. It requires to pass PageList with the properties to convert. I use pgRepPgSubSectionMySectionListB.pxResults to do this. But I have realized, that the property pxResults contains only first twenty elements of pgRepPgSubSectionMySectionListB. But I must export to CSV all the rows. How can I reach this? Thank you.
First run your report by calling pxRetrieveReportData activity of class Rule-Obj-Report-Definition in you acticity
Syntex:- call Rule-Obj-Report-Definition.pxRetrieveReportData
It will ask for parameters:-
pyReportName :- your report definition name
pyReportClass:- class of the report definition
pyPageName :- any page name for example ReportListExport. This page must be defined in Pages & Classes of class Code-Pega-List
After successful execution of this step, you will get ReportListExport.pxResults in Clipboard.
Now use this pxResults for export.
There is one more activity to export your Report in excel.
Call pzViewExportToExcel activity after running your report. And keep ReportListExport.pyReportDefinition as step page of this step.
This is preferred one.
This question is a bit old now so I'm sure the OP has probably solved the problem and moved on at this point. But for future viewers there is an easier way to solve this.
Pega includes a gadget called the "Record Editor" which can be used to display a report definition as an editable data table. It shows the provided report definition in a simple table as normal but users can also edit the rows, delete the rows and add new ones. It also includes import and export actions at the top so users can drop the entire resultset being shown in the table to CSV and then re-import changes back in after editing. You can find more information on this gadget and how to use it in this community article
If you simply want to provide an option at the top of a table sourced from a report definition that allows users to export the results as CSV without using the record editor gadget there is an API for that as well. The activity "pxDownloadDataRecordsAsCSV" in class "PegaAccel-Task-DataTableEditor" does this. It accepts the class and name of a report definition as parameters, runs that report and serves up the contents as a CSV file.
The second part here isn't too different from AJ's solution it's just an already existing parameterized activity you can use instead of writing one yourself.
I have a form in which I am attaching a workflow to. The form has a number that will be auto-generated. For example the first number will be 1, the next time the form is opened the number should be 2, so on and so forth. The issue I am having is: in the Default Value under the Text Box Properties I have the Value as: count(mynumber QuoteNumber) +1. When the form is generated the first and only number is 2 the number begins at 2 and never increases. Can someone help me with this or explain what I may be doing wrong? Thank You. I'm not using visual studio.
Rachel: I have fought with this problem since InfoPath 2007. Here is how I do it.
Since you say you are attaching a workflow, I assume you are using the from in SharePoint.
1 - create your form library in SharePoint
2 - use InfoPath to design the form. When you publish the form to SP, make sure you promote AT LEAST the ID field you want to auto-inc. (I usually promote every field in my forms, 'cause I like to use them like SP lists.)
3 - In SP, create one new form and manually set the ID field to the starting number for your form series.
4 - return to InfoPath designer and re-open your form template.
5 - create a new data source to receive data from your SP form library and specify your form library as the source, and the ID field as a data element. Name the data source something like “ID Lookup”.
6 - open the properties of the field you want to auto-inc on your form and, in the default value box, select function, then choose the MAX function.
And add “+1” after the function to increment by 1.
Now, double-click in the field are of the Max function. You will see a dialog showing your form fields. Notice the drop-down at the top of the dialog – here you can choose the data source (notice I named mine “sales Contracts” in this example). If you select the data source you created in step 5, you will see a dialog showing you a couple of data branches.
Expand the ‘dataFields’ branch until you see the field you want to auto-inc. Click on this.
Your formula dialog will look something like:
max(ID_X0020) + 1
With your field name instead of the 'ID' in the Max function – the function will now return the Maximum value of the field IN THE FORM LIBRARY, plus 1.
Save the form in InfoPath and try previewing it. You will probably get a security warning – your InfoPath form is grabbing data from your SharePoint library on the fly. You may even get asked to re-enter your password (I usually do). When the new, blank form is displayed in InfoPath preview, you should see you ID field filled in with a value one greater that the number in that field of your SP library.
There is one huge Gothca with this method - if users re-open a completed form to edit it, the formula will probably try to replace the ID number. If your users don't edit the forms after they are submitted, the this will work for you.
Hope this makes sense.
You aren't doing anything wrong - you just have to change how you think about "forms" a bit. Remember a form is just like a word document template. Suppose you save a word document on your hard drive with a blank spot to fill in your name. Later you open the template, type your name, and save a copy as V1.doc. When you go back and open the template again - your name is not there because it was saved in V1.doc. Everytime you open the template you start again from scratch.
Infopath forms that you design and that the user fills out are templates (.xsn files). When the user fills it out and saves it they are really saving a copy which is only data (.xml files). The .xsn template doesn't change when users interact with it.
So to answer your question - there is no way directly in InfoPath to cleanly keep track of an auto incrementing ID. You will need to tap into some code (webservice, sharepoint, etc) to do that. You could also consider making the ID a GUID (which infopath does support) but it won't be auto incrementing and it won't look "clean" if it has to be displayed/used by real people.
I have two content types (job_post and job_application) linked using the node reference + node reference url nodes. When I click a link in a job_post node, a new job_application node is created, so that candidates can fill out their job application. My goal is to automatically copy the content of an cck email field from the referenced job_post node to a cck email field in the job_application node.
To achieve this, I am trying to use a cck computed field, as suggested in: http://drupal.org/node/298951.
In my computed field I have placed the following code:
$node_field[0]['value'] = db_result(db_query("SELECT field_emailfieldjobpost_value FROM content_type_job_post WHERE nid=%d",$node->field_referencefieldjobapplication[0][nid]));
where the field_referencefieldjobapplication, is the node reference field in my job_application node.
In the display format box of the computed field I have:
$display = $node_field_item['value'];
I have selected the option to store it in the database as a varchar.
However, nothing seems to happen. I never see the cck field or its content both when I create or after I save a new job application (I have even tried to see it in views and failed). Any suggestion on what might be wrong?
Thanks
What I would do, is give a parameter with the link (the id of the job_post). and catch the parameter and place it in a disabled cck field.
Then write a module using the hook_node_api when a jobapplication is saved, you get the data from the job_post (using node_load) and use the data from the job-post however you want.
