Pass output from BO to Process

shaunreed1 — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 13:32:00 GMT

Hi,

I am in training and struggling to pass the output which is an order ref number from the business object to the process. I'm not sure how to get it from A to B. Also how would I collect multiple ref number, my assumption is to somehow pass it from the business object to a collection stage in the process? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Shaun,

Please check below points to achieve the same.

1.Add data item (which need to pass from object to process) In the action end stage.
2.save the object with your comments (Make sure that action is publish)
3.go to your process and drag action stage.
4.select your object and action from stage dropdown.
5.click on ouput(below action drop down )
6.Pass your process data item there.

Hi,

So the way I have done this now is a little more elloborate. I have used the end stage in the BO and sent the order ref to a data item within the BO. Then on the main process studio, i have created a calc stage that makes use of an incremental count stage [Counter]+1. I then added an output of the order confirmed action stahe to send the output to a data item on the process studio.

I then added another calc stage later which is to send the result of the ref number obtained from the BO to a collection stage. See pic. However I get an error at this stage. I want it to collect the ref number in a list within the collection. How do I do this? is it a matter of an action to add a new row in the collection for it to then be added?

Yes shaun , You have to add row first in row then you can store in that row and column.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks, i have tried adding a row from an action stage and it comes up saying the collection was not specified. It down as Order Number List.Counter, if i select just order number list it says that the data type is text but the collection data type is a collection? Any ideas?

Hi, can you try to pass the value within ""
f.eks. "Order Number" .

Ah thanks. Sorted it. I took away the brackets and placed "" around the collection name. Made some tweaks to the other calc stage and it works. This is so addictive haha especially when you complete something. I can finally move into the next stage of training. Thanks for the support everyone. :)

Put your collection name in ""

Example :- "Collection1"
