What about simply using a non-CDT variable of the same type as the ID field. For example if ID is of type "Text" then create a variable of that type and run

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV cdtTextOld.id = [" & pv!newIdOfTypeText & ""]"

After some extensive testing, I have been able to use the IFM manager to update single cdt values successfully, like so

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV cdtTextOld.id = [" & pv!cdtTextNew.id & ""]"

Unfortunately I am still unable to update the entire CDT since I always receive the following error "Expression evaluation error : Cannot internalize type TEXTTYPE
" when using the externalize(internalize(cdt)) syntax.

Is this syntax provided in the documentation correct? Has anyone else had success when updating entire cdts through the IFM manager?

Hi Eduardo

Unfortunately I don't think that plug in will work for my case, since the process ID's will not be known. I need a component similar to the IFM manager to query and change all process instances based on a where clause.

I don't understand where I'm going wrong here - I'm following the documentation pertaining to the syntax provided.

I suggest you use the "Get and Set External Process Variables" plug-in for updating variables forum.appian.com/.../summary it's easier to use since it doesn't require any knowledge about any specific syntax. In that link you'll also find the documentation of the plug-in at the bottom of the page.

Hi Eduardo

Apologies for bothering you once more. I'm trying to do the exact same thing with cdts. Using the variables in our previous case as cdt's, my syntax looks something like this (as per the documentation provided) -

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV cdtTextOld = [""" & externalize(internalize(pv!cdtTextNew))& """]"

Now I get an appian error stating the following - Expression evaluation error at function 'internalize': Cannot internalize data: Expression evaluation error : Cannot internalize type TEXTTYPE

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Eduardo, that solved the issue.

I'm a bit confused as to why that many quotes are needed but if it works that's great. Hopefully it's smooth sailing with updating cdts, which is another implementation I need in my process

Many thanks

Oh we're missing the additional quotes

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV vTextOld = [""" & pv!vTextNew & """]"

Hi Eduardo

Please see the screenshot attached, it seemed to have worked but it comes through with a new error" Expression evaluation error : Expression is invalid (1 token(s) remain after parsing)"

Eduardo Fuentes — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 11:11:09 GMT

If that's the case I think this is what you need

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV vTextOld = [" & pv!vTextNew & "]"

Eduardo Fuentes — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 11:10:14 GMT

Oh I see what you're trying to do, pv!vTextNew is a process variable within the IFM Model, not within the Process 4623, correct?

Hi Eduardo

Please see the variables I've made in a test process attached, still doesn't work. I've also attached the error log.

Eduardo Fuentes — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 05:30:59 GMT

If it exists already, what about trying this

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV vTextOld = ["""" & pv!vTextNew]"

RE: Hi Forum

I am trying to use the IFM plug in, and it is unfortunately

Eduardo Fuentes — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 05:30:23 GMT

Is pv!vTextNew an existing variable in that process?

Forgot to mention - the below statement works fine for me. It's just a matter of using a variable in my action expression that I'm not understanding

="UPDATE 4623 SET PV vTextOld = [""This works""]"
