Epicor Collaborate BPM.. Qs

Anyone out there using Collaborate BPms to raise alerts? I have a BPM setup to raise an Alert when a PO is approved that part is working in terms that I see them in the subscriber’s queue table.

But they never seem to show up in any stream.

Anyone have any ideas?

@pferrington is this your baby? I can’t seem to figure out how to see / subscribe to these Custom BPM Driven rules. No Docs on it that I can find.

Are there any users that are subscribed to those POs?

Yes me

Did you create a notification rule for the RuleID Custom?

I thought you had to create your own for a custom one. I could not be remembering correctly though.

Ok so I finally got it (I think) it seems it s VERY picky about the Tag it needs to be

XXX`<field>

and no @jkane I didn’t create a custom notification rule it seemed to work with out it once I knew the magic incantation for the tag.

No, but I want to. We’ve been having problems with collaborate working properly in MES, so I haven’t dug into it yet.

If you have a moment, show some more on what you’re actually doing with this and how it all works. Very curious as it sounds useful.

At the moment we are just testing, but we want a few “Alerts” to be sent out when for example a PO Gets Approved / Un-Approved and others

So this was a BPM on ChangePOApproval problem is that the BPM Widget doesn’t really tell you what to put in the boxes the “Tag” one is important it seems I had In there just

POApproval -- didn't work

Then i tried

PO<PoNum/> -- didnt' work

etc

Apparently this is the ticket

This now makes a custom rule available that people can subscribe to and see in their streamline

I have not worked with collaborate for a while now. back in the earlier days you could follow it by following the ‘custom’ notification. That was supposed to be eventually replaced with a unique ID per rule but I have not heard if that ever changed and its been 3 years since I was involved with collaborate.
