IFM Manager Query Structure
----------------------------------------
Hello,
I'm having difficulty using IFM Manager to modify a process variable, below is a test query I'm trying to run
"="UPDATE 278 SET PV areaCode_text = pv!newArea WHERE pv!areaCode_text = pv!oldArea", but this fails and the log reports:

"com.appiancorp.custom.ifmm.parser.IFMQueryParserException: UPDATE 278 SET PV areaCode_text = pv!newArea WHERE pv!areaCode_text = pv!oldArea: Failed to parse required IFM Action after index 14"

Even if I try a much simpler query such as amending a process variable to a constant without a WHERE clause (once I've managed to get it pass the expression editor and been able to publish), it still fails with the same log error.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong / does anyone have an example of a query that works for them?

If you switch logging on the ifm node you can see the query being executed. This might point you to the problem. Also there is an ifm application you can down load that has many examples.

Hi simons,
The problem lies in your test query construction.
1) Square brackets are missing in 'IFM Action' part of the query.
2) Square brackets are missing in 'WHERE' clause part of the query.
THe correct query should be:
UPDATE 278 PV areaCode_text = [pv!newArea] WHERE [pv!areaCode_text = pv!oldArea]

If you observe, the IFM manager documentation(IFM query syntax), " [ ] "are compulsory else throws IFMQueryParserException.
