Trigger PFI from Submit button on LM199

Do you have Design Studio? If so, replace the Submit function with a function that will trigger ProcessFlow (using an AGS call to WFWK.1). The flow could run the job (pass userid and jobname to the flow) and then do whatever else you need the flow to do once the job is done.

I have Design Studio that is what I was trying to write the java script in as FORM_OnAfterTransaction.
When you say replace the submit function do you mean replace the action on the properties button?
What would I replace it with? Why Type of function? Currently has FC=S which I have not clue why I cannot address the field.

Thanks Amy

Replace the FC=S with the Function you developed to trigger the flow.

function FORM_OnBeforeTransaction(fc)
{
// was the transaction successful?
if (formState.agsError) return;
// following an submit transaction, trigger flow
if (fc == "S")
{
var vMessage="Lease PFI was Triggered";
alert(vMessage);
var s = portalWnd.AGSPath+"?_PDL="+
"FOCUSQA&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE"+
"&FC=A&SERVICE=LMEXPIRING&WORK-TITLE=LM199TriggerLMEXPIRING"+
"&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=XML&_EOT=TRUE";
portalWnd.httpRequest(s);
}
return true;
}

FORM_OnBeforeTransaction()
or
FORM_OnBeforeTransaction(fc)
error on page

My main problem here too is FC is not initialized.  If I leave FC out completely it will execute everytime even it they inquire.

I have a word doc with print screen but am not able to attach here

Thanks Amy

Change the name of your function: function triggerMyFlow()
Change the Action of your Submit button to Function and select your function.

That worked ... now I just need to figure out how to pass the jobname, user id and company to the PFI to webrun the job first. Thanks for you help.

Add the variables to your Service and pass them in your AGS call:

var s = portalWnd.AGSPath+"?_PDL="+
"FOCUSQA&_TKN=WFWK.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE"+
"&FC=A&SERVICE=LMEXPIRING&WORK-TITLE=LM199TriggerLMEXPIRING"+
"&VARIABLE-NAMEr0=USERID" +
"&VARIABLE-VALUEr0=" + lawForm.getFormValue("text1") +
"&VARIABLE-NAMEr1=JOBNAME" +
"&VARIABLE-VALUEr1=" + lawForm.getFormValue("text2") +
"&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=XML&_EOT=TRUE";

thanks got the job working. But I do not want the flow to continue if the job goes into needs recovery or invalidate paramenters. I have the WAIT=true so at least it will wait until the job is done before continuing. What do I put in the success string field on the webrun to indicate success?

I'm not sure. You could always Query the QUEUEDJOB table to make sure the job didn't go into Waiting status.

Are you referring to a &WAIT=true parameter on jobrun.exe ?

NO, I am using that. The results to check if the job completed successful. How can I do that? The WAIT=true does not stay on the node when a job goes into Needs recovery or Invalid parms too. If either of these situation happen I do not want to go to the next node.

Thanks Amy

Use David's query, after the jobrun, and branch accordingly.

Just an FYI on what I did to solve my problem of verifying the report did not go into need recorvery or invalid parameters.
I changed the webrun node to a syscommand node
/bin/wtsubmit -v | grep | wc -l

ERROR = Abnormal

After this node I put a branch to test for outputData = 0 Job Completed Success outputData = 1 Job Needs Attention

Thanks, I'll try to remember that. It's good to learn new things.
