    I am trying to set up a flow to add the IC130 job, and then update the distribution group to a specifically group of users.  Has any one done this before, any help will be appreciated.

    I tried using the following web run URL, but I got a Security Violation error.  I make sure the jobrun.exe has execution permission and the owner is Lawson.

    _PDL=&_TKN=IC130&_EVT=CHG&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE&FC=Change&JOB-NAME=ORIC130&USER-NAME=chinb&JOB-DESCRIPTION=ORIC130&COMPANY=5&UPDATE-OPTION=N&THRU-GL-DATE=20101205&RPT-FLD14=Dist Group&RPT-FLD15=OREGION&RPT-FLD18=/bc/bc/bc&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=XML&_EOT=TRUE

      Here is the web run URL that I tried to use.
      http:///cgi-lawson/jobrun.exe?FUNC=update&JOB=ORIC130&USER=chinb&DSTGRP=OREGON&SAVE=Y

        Hi Becky -

        Are you running the flow with the 'lawson' user as the PF User / IOS User in Designer?

        It sounds like that's the source of the security violation - the 'user' executing the call from within PF doesn't have Security Authority for IC130.

        Make sure the PF User has ACDI access to IC130 (or actually to any form you want to add/modify inside a PFlow).

          Can you add/update the distribution group using the AGS call??
          If not, do I have the correct syntax in the cgi call to update the distribution group??

            I changed the login to use a user ID that I am sure it has access to IC130 and now I am getting the following error.
            Any one know what this error means??

              Good...you're past the security violation. There is something wrong with the API call....use the GUI API builder to troubleshoot and verify the call. Apparently the call needs the FILE attribute - which you can select from the API builder. Be CAREFUL with UPDATE, as the IOS Test would update the data. Once you know the IOS API call works, copy it to notepad and paste back into the WebRun object.

                Do you know what is the correct URL to add a job with group distribution. The api builder does not include that field when using AGS call. That is why I went down the path using cgi call to update the the job with the distribution group.

                  Becky - your original AGS call above seems to be missing the product line reference _PDL=

                    David,
                    I removed the product line on purpose. Other than the product line, do you see any thing else wrong? The Url did added the job ok, but the distribution group wad by passed. Therefore,I tried to use the cgi call to update the job.

                      Do you need to create a new report with a distribution group or can you run an existing one? If you can update and run an existing one you can add the distribution group to that. I don't remember doing this before.

                        I can do both...
                        1) I can create a new report and add the correct distribution group if I could get that working...but no luck.
                        2) Or I can add the report first, and then update the job with the correct distribution group...
                        If any one has done this successfully before, please share your parameters.
                        thanks!!
