Dynamic Alert message problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on a BPM where I want to send detailed info about problem by using alerts. I have setup alert by following Michal's blog:

<a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated:///people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated

The problem is that when I put in Alert message - fixed message like "Error: bla bla bla" then email to user contain this message. When I put Alert message as follows: "Error: &errdesc&" then email is sent, but with empty message. I have test it with errdesc as simple constant value "test".

please help

Hi Dawid,

You need to have a container operation step that assigns the value to your variable.

Hi Colin,

I have container operation before that step which is putting value TEST to errdesc variable. Any other ideas?

Hi,

Check your alert category definition.

I have a similiar alert set up that is triggered from BPM.

It is defined with the checkbox dynamic text ticked. Is this how yours is set up ??

Cheers

Hi all

I found problem. This variable was in block container and that is what stopped it to show value. When I changed container to process everything is working perfect.

Thanks for your input.
