Vantage 8.03.405a BPM Custom Email Message

Surely you jest.....

You have to write your own 4Gl code if you want to include the user that caused the BPM to fire, or if a change happens on a sales order line and you want to include all lines in the message.....

poking around and seeing what the 'wizards' create in the .p files is the only 'docs' I have found :o)

Anyone using 4GL Action to send custom email message (because wizard is so limited)?

If so, do you have any luck getting the message to send asynchronously?

If I set the Async parameter to true, the message never seems to get sent and when I use false, the user has to wait while the message sends....

run SendEmail in EMhEmailProc (
false,
CUR-COMP,
EMfrom,
EMto,
EMcc,
EMsubject,
EMbody,
"":U
).

Asynchronous scheduling requires you to create a task which then in turn
I believe needs to be scheduled using the system agent maintenance...

Anyone using 4GL Action to send custom email message (because wizard is
so limited)?

If so, do you have any luck getting the message to send asynchronously?

If I set the Async parameter to true, the message never seems to get
sent and when I use false, the user has to wait while the message
sends....

run SendEmail in EMhEmailProc (
false,
CUR-COMP,
EMfrom,
EMto,
EMcc,
EMsubject,
EMbody,
"":U
).

I've managed to get this working.

One action: synchronously execute 4GL code... record nothing

The code is:

define variable Email_from as character no-undo initial '':U.
define variable Email_to as character no-undo initial '':U.
define variable Email_cc as character no-undo initial '':U.
define variable Email_subject as character no-undo initial '':U.
define variable Email_body as character no-undo initial '':U.
define variable Email_hEmailProc as handle no-undo.
run Bpm/BpmEmail.p persistent set Email_hEmailProc.

define variable Email_from_cnt as integer no-undo.
assign Email_from = Email_from + 'vantage@...'.

define variable Email_to_cnt as integer no-undo.
assign Email_to = Email_to + 'me@...'.

define variable Email_cc_cnt as integer no-undo.

define variable Email_subject_cnt as integer no-undo.
assign Email_subject = Email_subject + 'Test'.

define variable Email_body_cnt as integer no-undo.
assign Email_body = Email_body + 'This is yet another test.'.

run SendEmail in Email_hEmailProc (
true,
CUR-COMP,
Email_from,
Email_to,
Email_cc,
Email_subject,
Email_body,
"":U
).
if valid-handle(Email_hEmailProc) then delete procedure Email_hEmailProc.
leave.


I haven't tried, but you should be able to "find" fields in non-related tables and include them in Email_body.


HTH,

Nigel.

So you can send custom e-mail messages from BPM 4GL actions?!?!

Where's the docs on that?
