Passing values from DS to PF

Hi,

 

I am attempting to build a hybrid Design Studio and Process Flow solution for MA43 but I have run in to some difficulties. The request that I received is that when the Change button is used that I need to evaluate each line item to determine if the user has increased the value of the Invoice field. If so, a PF is to run that among other things sends an email to the buyer listing what happened and who made the change. I have built a DS page that initially builds an array of what the values are for each line at the time of the inquire and then compares them to their values when the change is entered. I can see via alerts that I have the values I need written to arrays for each line. I have also used the Wizard to build a PF trigger that passes DB values to the flow and creates the email. 

 

Now for my difficulties:

First for the trigger, I have been unsuccessful integrating the PF trigger in to the script conditional (i.e., xml & JS). Consequently, at this point the flow runs every time the change button is pressed regardless of whether or not the conditions of the change occurs. Is it possible to refine the PF trigger in DS to run under conditions beyond what the Wizard allows you to build?

 

After spending a good chunk of time on this without success, I figured that I would just do the analysis on the flow side instead. The problem I ran in to here is getting the values contained in my global variables in DS in to my flow. I have no problem passing Lawson values but I have not figured out how to pass the variables I created in my functions on the Script portion of DS since they do not appear as “User Variables” (and I do not get values when I simply replace a variable with the name of one of my variables).

 

I am at an impasse here and would appreciate any suggestions that anyone has to offer.

Thanks!
