How to use CreateWithReference

[former_member200567]

Hi, experts,

      1. Can somebody please explain what is the usage of CreateWithReference in studio and how to use it? I still can't figure out how to use it.

      2. Does the target BO need to have a CreateWithReference BO Action to be able to use CreateWithRef feature?

      3.  In the repository explorer, I find some standarad BOs have CreateWithReference BO Action (e.g CustomerInvoice).

    

And I can see it in UI designer.

       

But some do not have CreateWithReference action (e.g InboundDelivery) .

           

But the UIs (QAF, OIF) have a CreateWithRef inport.

.

            

The inport fires an event handler that calls a BO Action ( I can't find which BO Action they call because it is not allowed)  with some action parameters.

             

          So, number 3  question, how can I use CreateWithRef for Inbound Delievery.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Fred

Hi Fred,

I can give you an example for my use case.

In this sample I used the createwithreference to create an email activity related to the activity task (you can see the generate email in the "related items" of the task

var act = Activity.Retrieve(ABSL:UUID.ParseFromString(this.actID));
var instEmail = Activity.CreateWithReference(act, "39");


instEmail.SubjectName = "Sample req n° " + act.ID.RemoveLeadingZeros() + " " + this.account;
[this.name filling]
elEmailParty.PartyName = this.name;
instEmail.MessageToParty.Create(elEmailParty);

[this.binaryObject filling]
//Create body
var elEmailTxtCollTxt : elementsof Activity.TextCollection.Text;

var instEmailTxtColl = instEmail.TextCollection.Create();
elEmailTxtCollTxt.TypeCode.content = "10002";
var instEmailTxtCollTxt = instEmailTxtColl.Text.Create(elEmailTxtCollTxt);
var elEmailTxtCollTxtCntnt.Text.content = this.binaryObject.ToString();
instEmailTxtCollTxt.TextContent.Create(elEmailTxtCollTxtCntnt);

instEmail.Send();

Hi, Alessandro.

           Thanks. Get the idea now.

           But what if the standard BO  does not have a CreateWithRef as I mentioned in No.3?

I think in this case there are two cases:

1) create with reference is not supported

2) you need to ask for a PSM release because the method exist but is not visible in the PDI

Hello,

The Inbound Delivery BO does have a not-released CreateWithReference action.
