Inbasket display files

$LAWDIR/persistdata/lawson/portal/content/forms and pages

is that the same for Infor 10??

oh, apologies, I have no clue, still on 9.0.1\

We are on a Windows platform, using WebSphere and, for us, these files are actually stored in the websphere directory. I'm not sure how similar the directory structure may be for anyone else, but the exact location of our display exec files is as follows:
\\YourApplication Server\YourWASInstallDrive\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\INFORWEBCell01\BPM.ear\bpm.war\htmlinbasket\inbasket\execs

You will find them here once you've successfully deployed the BPM .ear file in which they were incorporated.

p.s. - I don't think there is any difference between where you'll find them for 9.0.1.x & 10.x (we are on 10.0.5), but someone else might know this for sure and be able to weigh in here too.

The above is for HTML Inbaskets execs. It's the same for v9 and v10, but in v10 you have to leave the "classic" Inbasket enabled in order to use them. I haven't used the XML/Design Studio execs in a while, but I believe they just go in $LAWDIR/bpm/execs. (Also, if you place your HTML execs here, they will get deployed in bpm.ear next time you run a LSFCT patch).

If you're using IPA, you could switch to using the HTML Content option in the User Action node. Then you don't have to worry about html files and deploying them to WAS.

Thanks for the info Karl. Would you mind please elaborating on last paragraph a bit more? We do use IPA, but I am very new to it and haven't really learned the ropes yet. I'm very intrigued with the prospect of not needing to worry about deploying the ear files, etc. Thanks.

it appears the company is not using HTML files, but XML files.
Right now their files seem to be in $LAWDIR/persistdata/lawson/portal/content/forms and pages , but they do not seem to be getting pulled in for display.

I am still on 9.0.1, but after placing our forms and pages at $LAWDIR/persistdata/lawson/portal/content/forms and pages we have to rebuild the custom form index (portal > portal administration > rebuild custom form index > rebuild). They are viewable on LOGAN form RD69.1. I don't know how any of that translates Infor 10 because we aren't there yet.

Putting them directly into the deployed BPM .ear file is not a good practice. 

You should be using the Lawson-provided command utility to insert them into the BPM.ear prior to deployment.

The documentation on this is horrible, and I have repeatedly complained to Lawson/Infor about it.

The problem is likely in the settings you have in the user action node.

Can you post a screenshot of what you have?

Sorry for hijacking the thread... 

From the properties on the UserAction node, you can select Display Type HTML Content and enter straight HTML tags while referencing flow variables (like HTML notification e-mails).

Here is an upload of the screen:

 

 

Thanks for pointing that out John. I didn't intend to be misleading...we do in fact use the Lawson utilities to accomplish this.

(Which, for the record, we've always found annoying since we only use the standard default display execs anyway. Never understood why we must go through this process in order to make standard, delivered execs work, but we've found that the process is in fact necessary to get them to work properly anyway.)

Any updates on my pa52pf.xml file we are wanting to use for display?
The files currently look to be in \\appserver\e$\Infor\law10\law\persistdata\lawson\portal\content\pages

They do not display the custom file when looking at the workunit in the inbasket though. The only error I am getting in rich client on the errors tab is due to the display:

Activity UserAction4710: Substituting value for variable Display:
pa52pf.xml failed with error org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "pa52pf" is not defined. (FgaUserAction#2)

Try %LAWDIR%\bpm\inbasket\execs
