    Hello All,

    I have a design studio form with bunch of Submit buttons to kick off different IPA's that create number of "CSV" files for users. Is there a way to make sure job is only submitted once. During my testing I clicked on the submit button multiple time and I saw multiple work unit created in LMK. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

      Are you creating a PFI WorkUnit first? If so, you could query the Logan WorkUnit table to see if a trigger was created before allowing it to process.

        Or, save a value in a user_field or comment, so you can track what has already been done.

          David W: Work unit gets created once I click on submit button. I am new to IPA so not even sure how work unit can be created before kicking off the actual job. If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

          Ragu R: I will try to play with user field comment and see if it works.

            There is a way to trigger ProcessFlow (AGS call to WFWK.1) via JavaScript and that's what I was thinking.

                Please see my code below. All I want is to make sure IPA runs once even if user clicks on "submit" several times. Maybe I can disable the button once it's clicked. I think better way would be to check if IPA is processing and ignore the second "Submit" request.

                var sUser = "";

                function BUTTON_OnClick(id, row)
                {
                if (id == "push1")
                {
                //trigger flow
                var s =portalWnd.AGSPath+"?_PDL="+strPDL+
                "&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE"+
                "&FC=Add&SERVICE=NK_LMK_RoleList&WORK-TITLE=NK_LMK_RoleList"+
                "&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=TEXT&_EOT=TRUE";
                portalWnd.httpRequest(s);
                lawForm.setMessage("Job 1 Submitted");
                }

                if (id == "push2")
                {
                //trigger flow
                var s =portalWnd.AGSPath+"?_PDL="+strPDL+
                "&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE"+
                "&FC=Add&SERVICE=NK_LMK_Out5&WORK-TITLE=NK_LMK_Out5"+
                "&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=TEXT&_EOT=TRUE";
                portalWnd.httpRequest(s);
                lawForm.setMessage("Job 2 Submitted");
                }


                return true;
                }

                function FORM_OnAfterFrameworkInit()
                {
                sUser = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getId();
                }
