Question about a!startProcess which was introduced in 16.2

tapans over 7 years ago

I'm using a!startProcess function for the first time to be configured on button event to reassign the task.
While I am testing from the front end, on the button press, the required event is performed and task is getting reassigned successfully.

But while I am testing from the SAIL Rule, I am getting an error message (attached screenshot). May be this is something to do with "onSucess" or "onError" parameter?

My Code is :
------------
a!startProcess(
processModel : cons!TaskScreen_JobAssociation,
processParameters : {
ButtonText_txt : ri!ButtonText_txt,
taskID : ri!selectedTasks
},
onSuccess : a!save(local!Success,"Success"),
onError : a!save(local!Fail,"Fail")
)

Where local!Sucess and local!Fail are normal local variables.
------------

Let me know if anyone has faced similar issue and figured out any solu...

Hi tapans,
Iam also face the same issue..
Please check the parameter name without fail...means check the spelling name (ButtonText_txt and taskID) with proper camelcases.

It will work..

Thanks bhanuprakashm for your response.

The parameter name is exact same as I defined in Process Model. So seems this is something else.

This appears to be expected behavior based on the last note in the error message which states "This error will not be displayed to the user viewing this form".

What happens when you click the link saying "Click here to dismiss the error message and see the resulting interface" ?

Could you please check the logs for the exact cause of error if possible? In particular, look at the text "Caused By:" which might give more information of the error.

The Start Process smart service is available as an expression function that can be executed inside a saveInto on a SAIL component or as part of a Web API.

Tapan, does the error go away if you use fv!processInfo instead of "Success" & "Fail"?

Hello All,

Thank you for your responses.

@ramy.jaber, that's correct as this doesn't affect the actual result and as user would not be able to see this error from front end, we can bypass this. Clicking on the link again opens the same SAIL rule.

@phanibabuk, thanks. I have checked from logs but couldn't be able to find out anything useful.

@jonathan, when I use fv!processInfo, I am getting "Could not find variable fv!processInfo"
