Work item to call an enhancement

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Gavin,

 

That would be how I would also implemented. It's also nice exercise to play
around with OO. Classes are very efficient because you only write the code
that you need. A tip here is to create a class with a dummy key and specify
the key as the initial value in your workflow container. This is because the
link will only appear for an object instance, and this way saves you
instantiating the object in your workflow.

 

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Tony, 

 

Let me check if I've understood you correctly. I create a new BOR object
which has a default method which executes the enhancement. I bind in this
object so it appears as a link in the work item. Then the user can click on
it to execute the enhancement if needed? 

 

Could I do that with an OO class - can you just bind an OO instance in to a
work item so it appears as a link?

 

I think this approach would work, although it seems a shame to create a new
object/class just for the purpose. 

 

Thanks, 

Gavin

Can you not call the enhancement via a method and instantiate the class and
pass that to the work item like a BOR attachment.

Hi everyone, 

 

I have a requirement for a work item. It needs to have a link to a couple of
BOR objects (that's fine - we can just bind them in) and also a link to a
custom enhancement. The users may not need to use all of these links, but
they have to have the option should they need to. To call the enhancement we
could use the method on the work item task but the problem is that if we did
it this way then the enhancement would be called any time the user executes
the work item, and many users seem to execute work items without realising
it by double clicking to display them (rather than selecting the work item
from the list and clicking display). 

 

Is there an easy way around this? We could make the work item a decision
task where if the user wants to call the enhancement they select that option
and the workflow calls the enhancement in the subsequent step. The problem
with that is if the user clicks to execute the enhancement and then wants to
go back to view the objects that we're binding in. It just all seems to get
a bit messy. 

 

Hope I'm missing something obvious!

Thanks, 

Gavin
