MDM Created By Field Update

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are creating Vendors from portal ,when Vendor get created in MDM the Created By field gets value from User Logged into Portal .But when MDM workflow triggers Cretaed By field gets value from Workflow Owner .Is there anyway we can manitain the Created By field with User logged in Value.

Other way I thought of is create one more field and allow portal update this field when user create or Update the Vendors.

Please let me know better way to do it.

Thanks,

Madhu

Hi

Change the Workflow Owner to launcher, in MDM Workflows.

By doing this you can have the user id in Created By who logged in the portal after the workflows are triggered.

Are you using trusted connections or user mapping techinique in the portal?

pretty interesting point ...

not sure why u get 2 diff values for the field ...

ur problem should have been instead of the Portal user u get the WF owner as the value ...

do u have 2 diff process for creating the vendors ?? - if so then it should be avoided

else if theres one process , but you are saving the record more than 1 times

change the WF a liitle to make sure WF is trigerred as soon as Portal user tries to save the entry from Porta l

do a checkout of the record - and after all validations etc - then only do a check in - so u save in MDM only once

now on having the Portal user name in there : try the launcher option as suggested earlier and see if it works

try to have the users mapped as well - in MDM and portal

thanks

Hi Madhu,

Have you done any user mapping in Portal or you are using MDM SSO like feature for log in into MDM through Portal?

You said, "But when MDM workflow triggers Cretaed By field gets value from Workflow Owner ".

When you create record from Portal, is it not triggering MDM workflow?

Hi Madhu,

What if you create some more fileds like

Created By

Created On

Updated By

Updated On

and use appropriate Stamps which can track Create/update and the time of this activity.

Also you can please refer page 152 and 153 from console ref guide for any further information.

Hope it helped.

Thanks and Regards

Hello Madhu

Sorry, i don't understand what do you want to do?

Do you want to return record to creator(modifier) after validation?

Many users can modify record in same time. One of them can modify some fields and another one some another fields.

Creator will be last one.

if you want to control all fields modification you should create user stamp for each of them.

Another way is switch on trace function in repository.
